    Flight Question SpX-Dm1 (Demo-1 Falcon 9)

    Thanks Donamy, now I understand what you mean. How can I see on Orbiter when a specific orbital plane (i.e., the ISS one) is passing through my launch site? Is it in the MAP function of the MFD with the display parameter set to "orbit"?

    Flight Question SpX-Dm1 (Demo-1 Falcon 9)

    Thanks, not very useful ... I know about the orbital plane, and if you launch with the correct azimuth you end up on the same orbital plane as your target. However, all the tutorials I've seen recommend to launch when the ISS is near the launch site so that, once in orbit, the distance will be...

    Flight Question SpX-Dm1 (Demo-1 Falcon 9)

    Hi, as I have been trying lately several times to lift off with the Atlantis and dock to the ISS, I was interested to see the parameters of the recent SpX-Dm1 NASA mission (the SpaceX Falcon 9 that lifted off early this morning from Cape Canaveral). I was expecting, as in my simulations, that...

    Atlantis "Launch into sunrise" corrupted?

    I'm trying to launch one of the scenarios with the Atlantis space shuttle on the ground. Both "Launch into sunrise" and "Atlantis satellite launch" do not seem to work. When I launch them, the shuttle and the SRBs are separated and both are spinning around, rather than sitting idle on the launch...

    Software No quicksaves

    Hi GLS, thanks for the suggestion. The folder had indeed some kind of read-only flag, I cleared it for all folders, subfolders and files and now both Quicksaves and "back to launchpad on exit" seem to work (strangely, though, if I look at the property of the main Orbiter folder it still seem...

    Software No quicksaves

    Nothing in the Quicksave folder (it was the place where I was expecting to find something ...) In the shutdown menu, the selected option is: De-allocate memory and display launchpad dialog".

    Software No quicksaves

    Hi, Apparently my "Quicksaves" don't work. Whenever I click on CTRL-S or the "save" button on the top of the screen nothing happens. Then, when I exit (CTRL-Q or "exit") Orbiter doesn't go back to the launchpad but exits completely (I understand it means that wehn I re-start Orbiter any...

    Software Orbiter does not start any more

    Hi, I installed Orbiter yesterday for the first time, and it seemed to work OK (I run several scenarios). Now, however, it doesn't start any more: - I have already uninstalled, restarted and installed again - Windows (10) has updated himself today ... could this be a reason? - When I start...
