Haven't fired up Orbiter in a while, then a co-worker shows me some teasers from Space:2099 (wait til you see the new Eagles!) and it got me itching to fly the old Eagle Transporters again. I'm trying to get from Earth>Moon using LTMFD, which so far is an AMAZING addon, but it doesn't seem to...

While there are a lot of space themed shooters, it's not as easy to find space flight sim apps for the iPhone/iPod. I found one, iOrbiter, that I've only played the Lite(free) version so far. The objective is to change/transfer orbit using main and retro thrust. There is a trajectory plot...

Returning to Orbiter after a long absence, so this could be an old issue, but I haven't been able to search an answer yet. When I want to fly a Phobos mission to a Prelude II base, the default location for the base is always inside Phobos. I know that I can manipulate the location with...

I'm not sure what would be my next XR2 skin, and I was wondering if there were any XR2 pilots that were dreaming of a particular skin that I could try to create. I'll let this poll run for a short while and try to create something based on the winner that will be uploaded to OH.

I'm having a lot of fun creating skins for a few of the Orbiter vessels, so I thought I would create a thread that I would just add to every time I post a new skin. Follow this link to see the skins I have created so far. The McLaren is the latest addition.

I know, it's not very original, but my past USMC skins have been popular, so I though my first attempt at a skin for the XR2 would continue the series. Available at orbithanger . Special thanks to Coolhand for his continued assistance and encouragement. Comments greatly appreciated. Me...

Calling all experienced BSP4 pilots, can anyone give me an approximate profile to follow for re-entry, please? I've been experimenting with a few different techniques and keep flinging myself back up into orbit. Coming in from a ~350km orbit. Thanks!

I'm trying to develop some 'weathering' techniques for my skins so they all don't look factory fresh. I read Coolhand's suggestions in another thread and have started toying with this design. Comments are welcome and appreciated. :cheers:

I'll be heading back home to Holland for vacation in two weeks, and that gave me the inspiration to go patriotic for my next XR-1 Skin. If you want to read about a Dutch Aerospace Firm, check out http://www.dutchspace.nl BTW, in case you were wondering about the use of orange, the Royal Family...

With work progressing on the Altea Aerospace XR-2 Ravenstar (need a drooling smiley here!!), I wanted to make a 'commerative' XR-5 skin. It was a total fluke, but open up your cockpit hatches and switch to an outside view, I think it looks really cool where the forward hatches open.

If you have been following the XR-2 Ravenstar thread, you have seen numerous posts about adding Fuzzy Dice to the cockpit. The joke has taken on a life of it's own. With permission from Coolhand, I have created the Fuzzy Dice XR-1 Skin using an image he created. It's one of the silliest skins...

Willy88's AIRCOM skin for the DGIV has always been one of my favourites, so I decided to make an AIRCOM SAR skin for the XR-1. I didn't use any data from Willy88's work, but I want to give him credit for the great job he did on that skin:cheers:. I'll get this up on OH when I get home, the site...

There is a rather prolific DGIV skin designer who has been posting some very nice work as of late, and I'm trying to figure out how to let him know about this forum. He goes by alexander the great on OH. Does anyone know who this is?

As promised, a skin based on Vodofone McLaren F1. Lots of nice skins being done lately by numerous users, keep up the great work everyone!

I couldn't let the Ferrari skin for the DGIV go unanswered, so here is my interpretation of a Vodofone McLaren XR-1! I could make a DGIV version of it if anyone wants one.

I've always been impressed how UPS has managed to take what some may consider a drab colour (brown), and made it such an iconic look. Makes sense to me that the Big Brown Machine should venture into space with a ship like the XR-5 Vanguard. *Note: you must use the .c or later version of the...

I was pleased with the results of my USMC Shuttle, and I was working on a Shark Mouth nose art for the XR-1. The two seemed to go together, so I created a USMC XR-1 skin. As is the case with my USMC Shuttle, if you want the layered .psd files in order to customize the skin, you will need to...

Aviation Week & Space Technology has an interesting article on another sub-orbital craft under development by XCOR. Looks more like a kit plane than a space craft, but some of the design concepts are interesting to read about...

With a lot of support and encouragement from dbeachy1, I have released a KLM skin for the XR-1 that Doug is hosting on his webpage. Scroll down to the links for "Third-Party XR1 Skins." The skin is 'factory fresh' instead of the normal wear of the classic skin. I hope to be able to improve my...
