ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
Sure! (y)

@Majid just build your own system ba
This is a good idea and you should develop it, but independently for OH. Store IDs and links but do your own categorization - basically create an addon database. Also store proper author information (including contact), that you can use to ask for...
Thanks for listening, this way I can go and download all my stuff. I don't have any problems with reuploading addons again if that helps.
Sorry about the previous tone. I predicted this sort of migration problem and I always offered help/advice. None was asked, and feedback was that things...
Sounds like a lot of manual work. Are you going to sort it addon by addon?
Do you know all of my addons by heart? LOL, I don't even remember them all myself...
Reading other comments there are also problems with dates, so more things to fix - it's clearly a database garbage problem.
I suggest...
Sorry to be direct, but this shows that the new system was not tested before being implemented. 100MB is nothing for a modern addon, and I'm sure that older ones are beyond that limit. So it won't work...
And it's a mess and disrespect for addon creators!:oops:
My addons are now attributed to...
Very unfortunate:rolleyes:. In the past, Russia used space to make friends and to achieve a good technical reputation. Russian space was generally well regarded.
But given recent actions all that is being lost, and it will take decades to recover trust and prestige.
Makes me sad, because I've...
Found this on the web, might be a start regarding the parameters needed for a realistic display.
It's 2D only but if it can be done in the browser I'm sure it can be done in Orbiter...

You need to check the folder structure of each addon before extracting, as some include an Orbiter base folder... In such cases, you need to extract the sub-folders manually.
It's not ideal, but you'll find that Orbiter needs some manual tweaking.
Nothing serious, but handling folders and...
If an existing tool does the job then use it! :)
As long as the current add-ons aren't lost, no problem. If extra work is needed for DB migration, my remarks about legacy DB cleanup and eventual community help are still valid. Moving to a system that uses current forum member...
All 2006 patches and all 2006 addons go into the 2006 base folder.
Some files might be overwritten, as sub-folder names are the same (there's no specific addon sub-folder).
ex:
my_addon\config\whatever.cfg
my_addon\meshes\3dmesh.cfg
goes to
orbiter2006\config\whaterver.cfg...
Orbiter Forum is good and works well both on desktop and mobile. Don't waste more time with it, just do maintenance as needed.
Orbiter Hangar has a two crucial usability problems:
version and date information are missing;
no categories (is multistage2015 the same as a DG repaint ?)
search...
There's Orbiter 2006, Orbiter 2010 and Orbiter 2016. They are all different and somewhat imcompatible.
You can install all three, each in a separate folder.
Addons must match the Orbiter version they were designed for, otherwise, they simply crash on loading. Don't expect compatibility...
Spacecraft4 (SC3) is compatible with SC2 and SC3. Designed for Orbiter 2010, it works reasonably well with Orbiter 2016.
aircraft.dll is much older, for Orbiter 2006 I think. You need to match addons with orbiter versions. In general, they are incompatible.
Orbiter hangar used to list version...
I uploaded Vinka's Spacecraft4 to OH years ago:

Unfortunately OH search doesn't work so it's hard to find. But it's there (y)
Having a complete solar system would be very nice, especially because Orbiter is mostly about space navigation.
I think the integration process into the core for these non-code assets like planets (texture, meshes, markers, etc) should be by releasing first to OH.
Ideally, we should have a...
Well, the Commercial Crew Program is about extending capitalism into space, so I think the discussion is justified ;) Starliner and Crew Dragon have revitalized Human Spaceflight by making it part of business.
I like the video, it shows reality. It's what they are living now, and as you say we are also experiencing it through refugees.
Indeed some children have been sent to live with family in Europe, while their mothers stayed to fight.
I don't view this as political, in the sense that these issues...
If you look at Mars through a good telescope you can see morning hazes and clouds. It still has a substantial atmosphere. So going by the visual impression it's not hard to imagine a recent denser atmosphere.
The dry/dead Mars preception was created after Mariner 4 and reinforced by landers...
