I have recently decided I want to begin creating vessel addons. I know there's the SDK and all, but where exactly do I start? What software do you recommend for creating meshes? How does coding the vessel go? ;)

Let us share our times when we were new to Orbiter. For what ever reason, I would intentionally crash into the terrain.

Before I joined O-F, I was a big fan of Orbiter. It wasn't until I needed help that I had to join the forum. At first, it was very unfriendly to me. But as I posted a few more times, I realized that Orbiter Forum is a very, contrary to what I thought, friendly and relaxing place. Since my first...

What were your favorite astronauts, from Yuri Gagarin to Dug Hurely? They could be well known, or hardly ever heard of. However, for sake of the discussion, let's keep replies of astronauts that have flown at least in a sub-orbital flight. You may pick up to 3. (And an explination would be nice...

I used to be highly into model rocketry. I had always wondered how difficult it would be to make a model rocket without a kit or factory-produced parts; how difficult it would be to make a homemade rocket. Myself, I don't think it would be very hard at all. The most difficult thing is to make...

I've seen my fair share of space flicks, but I can easily list my top 5. Please note that this is my opinion! What are YOUR top 5, or 10 favorite space movies? 1) Apollo 13 What was just, as far as the media was concerned, a "routine" flight to the moon, the world had lost interest in space...

I thought I'd make an updated post for this type of discussion. Why don't we discuss our computers with eachother? My desktop has AMT FX-6100, x6 Core Processor, and x32 Windows 7. In Orbiter, I usually get around 60-140 FPS. What do y'all have? Respond with your specs, and whether you're using...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I am yet to see any updates on what's going on with the development of Orbiter. (Then again, I don't look around very well...) I know there's the beta, how's that coming? I tried it once a few months back, and crashed whenever a scenario was loading, so I am kind...

Although KSP wasn't intended to compete with Orbiter, I've caught myself, and I'm sure others have too, comparing the two. Kerbal Space Program is a fictional "half-simulator-half-sandbox" game where you design, build, fly, and sadly, sometimes crash your own spacecrafts. It's in some, I'm...

I've been wondering this for so long now...All of Saturn's moons have their correct scientific names, but why doesn't Luna (Earth's moon). It's name isn't "Moon" obviously; of or relating to "the moon" isn't "moonar" (bad KSP reference), but it's "Lunar"...Because our moon is "Luna". This is...

On January 27th, 1967, three brave men...men that only a few people today recognize the names of gave their lives to space flight. These men were Gus Grissom, Edwad White, and Roger Chaffee..This was the crew of the blazing Apollo 1 mission. About 2 and 3 quarters years later, on July 20th...

When I am near Mars in Orbiter, I usually fly over to Phobos or Deimos. I've always wondered if man could successfully land and preform EVA on one of the moons. Man has already walked on a moon before, but Phobos and Deimos are very different than Luna, Earth's moon. I like to think of Mars's...

I just have a simple question, not really a problem. The Orbiter Launchpad window is usually fairly moderately small, but mine increased its height a lot. Here's a screenshot of it. I recently added a few more addons to the client. Usually, this would extend the list of the scenarios, but I...

The other day I was wondering how awesome a more detailed version of the Apollo 13 scenario would be for AMSO. Details such as the explosion caused by the damaged coil in 02 tank B, the "hand made" course correction with the LEM (which of course could be done in-game, and doesn't need to be...

I have tried many "fixes" in attempt to make my Verification Tool actually check DirectX. System Information AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.61 GHz, 2.00 GB of RAM OS: Windows XP Media Center Edition Graphic Drivers: NVIDEA GeForce 610 I have tried moving, copying, and entirely...
