It was around three or four years ago, that I read on the old forum about someone seeing something something near Uranus. Normally I wouldn't put much stock into just that one instance, but then I am pretty sure someone else posted about seeing something around there too. I think it was...

Great discussion everyone, I appreciate all the input. :) I really like the numbers in this post, and plan to try them out as soon as I get a chance. What do you all think of them? Thanks mjanicki for the link!

http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3251 It's no secret that the Deepstar 2.0 is my favorite interplanetary exploration vessel; but I've recently come across a question of a correct mass for this ship. In its .ini file, the Deepstar 2.0 claims to have an empty mass of 20000 kg and a fuel...

Mine is, yes. I feel your pain on the low power system, My previous computer was a real crawler. However, I just built myself a computer, first time I've done such, and I am very happy with the results. As for the spouse, I'm afraid I haven't installed that add-on yet. ;) Back on topic: I hope...

I think it already is an add-on? Or at least a similar form and function (by Sputnik): http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1461

I've learned TransX first, and am very competent with that tool, and it works just fine for me. But I've tried to also learn IMFD as well several times, but always I find myself unable to comprehend it. (This is not saying anything about the MFD, btw) And while I'm sure that its only my lack of...

Two spacecraft become one. Boosting the Mir2 core to its orbital altitude of 300km. The start of construction; grappling the module "Zoe." Moving "Zoe" from the XR5's payload bay to its home on the OFSS. Completion of the construction phase of mission 2. Lookin' sweet! Gliding back in...

Here are the screenshots from my mission. I hope I did not post too many... I did have to split them up because of the limit of images per post. Ready to start the second mission of the Orbiter Forum Space Station project. The mission takes flight! Clawing my way into orbit. Switching to...

Thanks for saving this, astrosammy. Where again is the OFSS chat hosted at? Is it at the orbithangar website's chat server? I'd like to try being online to chat through my mission. Edit: Nevermind, I seem to have found it.

Sounds very interesting! I hope the build goes well for you and that the flying goes even better. I've never really considered going into RC flying as a hobby, but this discussion has certainly peaked my interest. Perhaps I will look into it more.

A satellite orbiting the Earth, yet staying over the same fixed geographic position? Ingenious idea! Why, if we could make the satellite's orbital period be the same length of time as that of one rotation of the earth about its axis, this could really work! :P Exactly! And that is what I would...

Sounds great! Before long, the moon will be breaking away from Earth and starting a civil war. :lol: Hmm.. Sounds like a good idea for a science fiction novel. :hmm:

Useful little update, Andy! I was just thinking the other day how it had been a little while since you'd released an add-on. I wonder if you have any other ideas for things to come in the future? I really enjoy your products, Andy, just how they all "go" together. I remember when you were...

Hello, I am interested in joining this project. I haven't been able to play Orbiter for a while, and am now coming back into it. Before this period of absence, I was very skilled and could fly just about anything with reasonable competency; Now I am a little rusty, but I suspect that Orbiter...

You've probably figured it out by now, but just in case, after you do hit the Print Screen button, the image is actually in your "clipboard" and you have to paste it somewhere (such as paint, or some other image viewer). It's like any other text or image you copy. And its interesting, because...

It was qite some time ago, and I lost all my screenshots and logs of the grand voyage in a hard disk crash since, but I did have an impressive run one time. I can't quite remember how it went, but it was something like this: Took a Shuttle-A with all the cargo pods, ejected to venus for a sling...

Count me as right there with you Andy44. The tighter the margin the bigger the thrill for me. Though, I do like to do my fair share of galivanting around the solar system. Not on the whirr of magic wheels mind you; just something that will let me go ahead and try some fancy trajectories, but if...

Very interesting information! Thanks for the insight, Likeshadow.

I love the consitancy and detail in this thread. Good work! Spaceflight is great.

It seems it is down again. http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ agrees with me. :( Hope things are going okay for mustard.
