Hullo hullo, I've been contemplating on learning 3D designing, and have checked out some different 3D programs. I have pretty much boiled down my options to two different programs: XSI or 3ds Max. I currently run XSI mod tool in a vain attempt at creating something that doesn't make you throw...

I have always found it difficult to understand the concept of patriotism, as I understand it, patriotism is to be proud of and love "your" country. What is there to love about a country? It's just a bunch of people ruling you. What do you people think about patriotism?

Hi all, I'm looking into creating an MFD, but I have no idea of how to do it. I have some very basic knowledge of C++, but is there any tutorial or something similar you could point me at, to get me started? Cheers

What kind of music do you orbinauts listen to?

I'd love to see the Swedish rocket range/space-sience research center "Esrange", as a base with surface tiles and buildings. Is there anyone with some spare time that would be willing to try their hand on it? Cheers

I've got a problem with Surface Base Wizard, when I start it, I get an error message saying: "Component "MSCOMCTL.OCX" not correctly registered: file is missing or invalid", and the program will not start. I have followed the installation instructions, however, I did not understand the last...

I was thinking that perhaps i should try my hand on Add-on developing, but where to get started? I looked through the "resources" thread in this forum, got Anim8tor and VC++ but are there any decent tutorials for someone who doesn't know a nickel about programming? (Ok, I know a little bit...

I Can't get the Orbit Insert program in IMFD to work. On an flight to Mars, as I am approaching Mars, I first run the planet approach program (whilst still outside Mars SOI), to give me a good PeA. After entering Mars SOI, I try to run the Orbit Insert program. At first, in the BV mode, it...

I got these stunning textures off orbithangar, however, they are for Orbiter 2005, and does not seem to work with 2006 (causes CTD), is there any way to make them compatible with Orbiter 2006, these are the best earth textures I've seen so far, including the one on the "reccomended addons" page...

Is there anyone who knows of a website or store (preferably website) that sells models of spacecrafts, such as the Space Shuttle, Soyuz etc, with pictures and the likes, hobby models then, unpainted and unassembled, preferably not snap-fit.

Has this EVER happened? All the planets lining up in a straight neat obedient little line, and presumably ending the world? If it has happened, when? If it havn't will it ever (mathematic probability-wise), if so, when? Can it be forseen? Probably not...

The "shuttle fleet hi-res KSC" on orbithangar, isn't really compatible with Shuttle fleet, atleast not the launchpad by kev33. The scenarios by kev33 include another config file, that reverts KSC back to lo-res, but could anyone take a chance at making a hi-res KSC patch that is compatible...

Is there anyone out there who can make a Klipper Add-on? I know there is one already, but it's not very realistic (lack of OMS, very powerful retro-engines, no EVA capability). Any takes? Cheers

I've noticed several timesthat my Orbit MFD behaved rather "inconsistently", my Periapsis and Apoapsis kept constantly changing, both the numbers and the displayed point on the MFD. What's the reason for this? Is it a bug, or is it something wrong with my orbit? An MFD behaving like this...

I've noticed that when flying the Vostok in orbit, it jerks around, randomly spinning around (a bit perhaps like the original Vostok did during equipment module separation). Is it just me who gets this, or is it something others experience?

I recently installed Reentry MFD, but as its provided with no documentation whatsoever, i have no idea how to use it D: Could anyone tell me?

With all the talk going on about Virtual Space Agencies, and perhaps even implementing such a thing in an addon, gave me an idea... Perhaps a Virtual Space race? There was mention of a similar thing in another thread, being played out either on the forum, or by email. The thing I imagined...

Since Meadville haven't had any activity since last time I looked, I'll ask here instead... When i do a re-entry, everything works fine, up until the splashdown. The Gemini spacecraft is supposed to do a splashdown on its belly, which it (in my simulation) almost does, however, when it touches...

I've got meself a problem with AMSO, when executing a launch abort using the LES, the capsule travels upwards (as intended), but after a short while, the astronauts die (getting the angel thing)... Got no idea why it happens, and I tried to reinstall the AMSO Add-on, no result. Any ideas?
