Adding space stations is much easier than adding bases or spaceships because space stations don't have to land.
Here are some space stations I'm using in Orbiter 2016:
Station V from 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY
O'Neill Island 3 Colony v0.9
Space Elevator, release 4
There are some minor...
One of the most beautiful orbiter addon I have ever seen. Thank you, this is amazing!
I did a little test run including launch, docking, reentry and capture. Everything works great.
Have you tried mouse pointer settings on windows?

I recommend disabling these options:
Enhance pointer precision
Display pointer trails
Enable pointer shadow
And choose "none" for scheme(mouse cursor design).
This is cool. In Japan, there is a huge demand for these dancing 3DCG figures... for… um… scientific purposes.
It would be nice if astronauts can perform some simple gestures (such as waving their hands, thumbs up, kneeling down and standing up, etc).
These simple body languages might add a...
Thank you! It works like a charm.
So, this is what needs to be done in order to enable ATC:
1. Open SoundConfig.exe. Enable Allow ATC Sound option. Save and exit.
2. Find PRELAUNCHATC 0 in the scenario file or create a new line. Change it to PRELAUNCHATC 1.
A Japanese player asked me a question about OrbiterSound ATC chatter:
I’ve read OrbiterSound documentation and tried custom vessel configuration file. But I couldn’t make it work.
Or… should I recommend him use mp3 playlist instead?
Cloaking effect looks a little bit abrupt, and a sound effect would be nice.
Thank you for bringing these star trek ships to orbiter universe. I always liked these Romulan ships... I still can't believe Romulus simply doesn't exist anymore.
I have the same problem with R4.4.
Phobos looks completely spherical at certain distance.
It becomes non-spherical when you get closer.
But if you look at it from different angle, it becomes partially spherical.

Can you perform "Moon to Earth" flight using TransX?
Both "Moon to Earth" and "Earth to Mars" flight require the same techniques. But "Moon to Earth" is much easier to do.

Orbiter 2010 download link
Orbiter 2010 download link on this page (Orbiter Download) doesn't work anymore. I guess it needs to be updated from http://orbithangar.com/orbDownload.php?file=orbiter100830.zip to https://cdn.orbithangar.com/orbiter/orbiter100830.zip ?
Sorry for the nitpicking. And...
I've been writing a blog about how to play orbiter for years. Suddenly more people come to my blog and actually play orbiter for no reason...
I guess they are students?
