I'm building a simpit for Orbiter. But I cannot use the usual spaceships. Is it possible to use Orbiter for only the visuals and have an external program running all the avionics? Maybe a 2D avionics Java program that takes all the calculations from Orbiter and injects the movement back into...

Obviously for long missions I need to turn off my monitor at times (ie when I go to bed or leave the house). But when I do I get the attached error. I am in windowed mode. Please help!

I'm looking to buy a joystick for Orbiter but obviously don't want tp spend money until I can confirm what's supported. I'm looking at the MongoosT-50CM3 Base with Constellation ALPHA Prime. And the VMAX Prime Throttle. Or the VKB Gunfighter IV ‘Modern Combat Edition’ Ultimate and the STECS...

I'd like to attach the XR1 to a launch vehicle like the Falcon9 or Multistage2015 SLS but I'm not sure how do. If anyone could be kind enough to show me or make a scanerio file that'll be greatly appriciated.

When I load any scenarios in Orbiter, half of the time about 5 seconds after it loads, it crashes. I am using Windows 10 and orbiter_ng.exe. In Event Viewer I get an error: Faulting application name: Orbiter.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x6774059a Faulting module name: D3D9Client.dll...

I really like the Falcon 9 + Crew Dragon as the launch, rentry and splashdown can be completely automated. But it's a bit underpowered. The XR1 is great but doesn't auto-launch and auto-reentry on Earth (unless there's an MFD for that?). I also need to dock it into port 1 of the Arrow.

As you can see here, BurnTimeMFD is saying it's burning the main, but it is actually not. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong? I enter the DV amount of 54.74 and click BRN. It burns for a second then stops, but BurnTimeMFD thinks it's still going.

Just announced recently, this could be great for displaying external MFDs!

I am running Orbiter 2024. I have a scn with XR2 and Arrow. Both work fine independently (Ready for Takeoff to the Arrow.scn) but when I load the docked scn (XR2 docked with the Arrow.scn) Orbiter crashes. Windows error: Faulting application name: Orbiter.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp...

Have a fresh install of Orbiter 2024 with no addons. I get this when starting the DG docked at ISS scenario. I am using an Intel NUC with the onboard Intel iris Plus 640. Running D3D9Client. Please help.

I'm currently trying to attempt to use GMAT to calculate dVf, dVp and dVo values to input into IMFD. I'm using the Ex_LunarTransfer.script. For the included craft called "Sat", I input the dry mass = 266400 (of the XR5). After running, I get the values of Delta V Vector...

I'm looking to use my ship bridge simpit for Orbiter. But I think it might be harder than it sounds as Orbiter is lacking a lot of functionality? I'm looking to model something like the Arrow which has a ship-like bridge. The main requirements are: The ability to spread the view only over...

I was thinking it'll be really useful to get something like this for use in Orbiter 2024. I should be able to calculate the values I need to enter for TransX or IMFD using the tool, rather than clicking about inside the MFD. Even better if the tool made a plan to import into TransX or IMFD. I'm...

I'm trying to get the falcon9 to the ISS. Before launch, I check the heading in LaunchMFD. I then open the Launch Control Panel and enter that value as the Inclination. But when it launches, the Falcon9 doesn't turn to that heading so the rinc ends up being way off.

Introduction I will be hoping to complete an Orbiter based Artemis III mission in real time this month. I will be using the Falcon9 with Crew Dragon attached, the Arrow freighter and XR1 in Orbiter 2024. I will not be time warping at all. I will be keeping this thread up to date with a mission...

I'm having trouble in Orbiter 2024 with IMFD 5.7 and the Arrow Freighter. I'm doing a simple Target Intercept from Earth orbit to Moon orbit following these steps: Open up IMFD on right side. Click MNU > Configuration. Turn off Nodal Regression. Set Mission Timer to MJD. Click MNU > Course >...

I can't find any docs for this. How do I setup my external views for each spaceship please?

I came across this for KSP, but might be compatible with Orbiter?

Getting back into Orbiter for obvious reasons. I love seeing how amazing space looks. But I really hate grinding ... spending ages clicking back and forth to try to get a course in TransX or IMFD. There used to be a Matlab project...

Looking at this video, I wonder if they use Orbiter? https://youtu.be/p4obGG_LeCM?t=22
