Hi Everybody! Now that the holidays are in full swing down here in Australia, I thought I would play around a little with Orbiter. I remember a while back seeing a thread that mentioned the implementing of science fiction style physics in orbiter, as in you thrust forward, and then slowly...

I have been away from the orbiter community for a while and have noticed many referrals to "The probe". What is the probe? Is it a model, if so where can I get. (Can't find it on orbithangar). What is the fuss? Thanks Also noticed this :probe:

Hi, when someone asks where the 2010 beta is, they are directed here; http://orbiter-forum.com/project.php?projectid=1 I have gone there and the latest is Beta 091023 - RC1 Is that 2010? Or am I looking in the wrong place? Btw has danstephs UCG-something (Big long range ship) been...

Hi, I am new to making addons for orbiter. Right now I am using sketchup to design a ship, export it to 3ds, apply textures using anim8or and then hope for the best. (and convert textures to .dds). My method is unnecessarily long and complicated. What is the easiest way to make basic...

You know the main orbiter website by the Dr Martin guy? Why does it not have the betas on it? It seems like it is never update or anything, I didn't know that the was an 09 beta till about 10 seconds ago via this forum. Where is everybody in the orbiter world?

Hi. I am currently using sketchup to design my spacecraft, than export to 3ds and so forth. I am having lots of difficulty extracting the textures to make it into that bmp than dds. (When extracting to 3ds they don't come with it as jpgs). So I was wondering what programs most people use to...

I have been trying to make a ship using spacecraft3, but i kept on getting errors saying no vessel class configuration for spacecraft\spacecraft3? I got really annoyed so I started playing with the config files, and I copied a cfg and pasted spacecraft3 into vessel name and module, and it...

How would you add visible thrusters i.e. the jet which you see coming out of the rear end of every rocket, onto your model using anim8or. My ship has "engines" you just can't see them. Config file attached. (.ini format copied to .txt formart) marty

I have managed to somehow make my ship load in orbiter, only it is at 90 degrees and has no textures whatsoever, only black. I was using the config from pbshuttle. It's module is spacecraft 3. Some parts of the ship are missing I think. As you may have guessed I have no idea what I am doing...

EDIT: I have a .msh now, I just need to get the textures into the .dds formt. How do I do that from sketchup pro? Thanks, marty

Hi can someone please convert the attached .skp file to a .msh file usable in Orbiter? Thank you very much =) Thanks, Marty

I want to make a vid for youtube about halo, and I want to incorporate Orbiter into it as the only other way to simulate the halo spaceship aspect is cgi and mods. All I need is for this thing to have three engines on the back, and be able to turn. I don't care if it has the physics of the...

Hi, I'm brand new to this forum. I have been an avid Orbiter fan for quite a while and have decided to make a ship. I have looked for tutorials and yes I have looked on the tutorials from the link supplied by Tex. Can someone just give me a link to whatever I need to get started? I just...
