Hello everyone, Been a long time since I posted here. I started downloading the files I needed to make a new orbiter space flight simulator install. Ive forgotten quite a bit since I last played with this software. Last time I checked, there was a Delta Glider IV that liked to explode, Velcro...

I am thinking Martins should have called the latest build of the beta revision 14.... but in all seriousness, I have had CTD when loading any scenario dealing with the planets that have 3D terrain. I deleted my old orbiter beta directory and started fresh and I even downloaded new terrain zip...

Greetings all, ReFuel here... I've been thinking that I want to give something to the orbiter community and what I will be able to do... most likely sometime in February I will be able to upgrade my VPS. Its physical location is Amsterdam and it has quite the bandwidth... Ive been able to use...

Hello all, I am back... Been gone a long time. Running Orbiter 2010 P1 (I believe) with the DX9 Client (if thats the right name) I am dusting off my old GIMP skills and Ive been looking for a basic template for starting the ReFuel arrow paint for the Universal Cars and Cargos 2.5 Christmas...

has anyone experienced a problem with fly-by-wire and the use of Saitek rudder pedals? The software sees the foot controller, and even gives the option to use the brake axis but the actual rudder axis does not seem to work... Any ideas on this would be appreciated

Launch of LTP-01 June 13th, 2069 At 13:49 UTC, The XR5 Edmund Fitzgerald was launched to Earth Orbiting Platform (EOP) as the first stop of a mission for ReFuel to test out the new hardware that will be used to assemble the Lunar Orbiting Platform. The mission officially named Lunar Test...

ReFuel recently launched and flown the first of perhaps a series of missions to the moon for researching an orbit for the building of the Lunar Orbiting Platform (LOP), the 2nd stop in their plan for their Earth/Lunar transfer network. With a flawless launch into low Earth orbit of just...

This is a mission that is still going on, but I haven't quite finished it... My mission idea came with I was talking with Epsilon on Orbiter IRC channel and my idea was how much of the solar system could I see so here it is Mission ships are noted as Donovan and DGIV-01 to 05. Donovan is...

I guess this question is best aimed at Mr Martins, but anyone that knows the answer, please comment some of you may know that I simulated the ReFuel companies operations. One of these important on-going missions is for the LEO station called EOP...

I am trying to get FlyByWire to work on my orbiter install and when trying to save my profile for the mapping I get this neato german message which I translate "cannot be written" Working with build Sep 29 2006 FlyByWire 0.9beta Windows Vista SP1 OS Orbiter root folder C:\orbiter Clean Install...

I am starting this tread to see if anyone would be interested in seeing this new ship idea. I sadly don't have the skills so if I could get some feedback, maybe I can get a team together to help develop it. If you like the idea, please reply to this thread, simply by typing in bump, or feel free...

For those that are not familiar with the two key points of this thread, please check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lagrange_points http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interplanetary_Transport_Network I am wondering if there is any tools or procedures in Orbiter to take advantage of lagrange...

I am still semi into the XR5 skin names and of course having a story behind ReFuel. These skins will serve two purposes. The first, is for my own amusement The Second will be to add depth to my scn story line that I hope to develop over time. I am currently looking for names for the following...

I am getting in that mood again where I am busting out photoshop and creating some new repaints for various craft. Some of you may have allready seen my XR2 ReFuel One, Prelude II and XR5 Enterprise skin that I have recently released. I have several more projects that I want to release and one...

I am wondering if anyone has bothered to create more realistic atmospheric data for the Earth where the atmosphere does not just dissipate after a certain altitude. Is the lack of atmosphere after a certain altitude a limitation to orbiter or was it designed like this on purpose to deal with...

Some to all of you may know that turning on nonspherical gravity sources causes objects into LEO to undergo what is called nodal regression. This affect can be visualized if you place for example a space station in the same ground track of the moon and allow time to progress. What happens is...

Location: Earth Data: March 2069 ReFuel has announced to the Associated Press and Reuters today that construction of the Earth Orbiting Platform is underway and all systems are go. Orbiting the earth in an orbit that mimics that Moon, the orbital refueling station officially named Earth Orbiting...

I recently started a new scn where I am flying a Deepstar around the solar system. Again in the idea of reality, I found that when I got to mars I was running low on fuel. I decided to use that wonderful 20t fuel container from SSBB and the XR5 to refuel my ship. I have noticed that since the...

I have seen several examples of how solar panels can be animated to track the sun, and I have even seen the Prelude II bases reset themselves after the sun sets... The question I have to expand on this, can the solar panels know how much sunlight is actually hitting them so a formula can be...

a quick search of Skylab on OH comes up with the historic launches of the station including the damage received during launch and the SimNASA Skylab-Columbia.. I am wondering if there exists a model of Skylab if it would have survived intact during launch
