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.
I'm not a programmer, but instead of finding the dv values manually to make the closest approach, surely this is the perfect task for a computer? A computer can just loop trough all the values?
I'm looking to get a space station into orbit around mars so i have something to dock at. Apparently this one is good (Ceres V3.0). But how do i put it in orbit and what values are recommended? I imagine using the scenario editor somehow?
Im trying to use IMFD to go from the Earth to the Moon while following David Courtne's videos. Unfortunately I'm a bit stuck. The BV dV remaining seems to be going up instead of down. Hopefully the pics will make it more clearer.

using orbiter 2016, IMFD 5.6 cannot find Brighton Beach. for example, on base Approach, i try to set the target as "Brighton Beach" but it cannot find it. however it does exist i think?
Hi all, I'm trying to move to 2016. My favourite starting point for all my missions in at CSSC with the XR2 attached to the HCLV Hyperion. It does not seem to work in 2016, so any equivalents?
Secondly, any add-ons for joysticks to replace the Fly-by-wire?
Also, any replacement for UAP...
I setup the ZIP file and installed D3D9Client2016-R1. When I open orbiter_ng.exe and select any of the scenarios, i get an appcrash.

Orbiter was shown in use at the UK South Pole science base. It was used to test scientists motor skills!

Could Orbiter use up multiple CPU cores and lots of RAM to get more accurate calucations? Say if I can a bladecenter lying around it would be awesome to run Orbiter on it and get amazing accuracy.
Just trying to work out how to use the orbiter_ng server with a render engine. I've got the orbiter_ng server running on a remote server, how to I connect the render engine on my PC to it?
