I just had a few questions about Apollo 13. First, could their lunar module still have theoretically landed on the Moon? I'm guessing no, because they'd have to use the command module engine to brake into Lunar orbit. However, what if the command module engine worked? I assume they still would...

I see this question was raised by Yoda in 2009, but seeing as how that was quite a while ago, I decided to make a new one. While Space Shuttle Ultra looks very cool, I'm sitting it out for the time being until things become more developed. With that said, I currently use Shuttle Fleet, but I've...

I ask this in a general sense. Of course the one in Orbiter does not model the full suite of switches, and does not model the flight dynamics, damage characteristics, etc perfectly. But in real life, was it possible to sort of hand fly the shuttle freely, while throttling the OMS at will? I...

Is it at all possible to discern a planet's disk with the naked eye? I'm not talking simply seeing the glowing star-like dot in the sky, but rather actually being able to see the circular shape of the planet itself. I assume only Venus would be possible? Also, if you were on Venus (and...

I've been posting a lot of problems here lately :lol: This one was the most annoying though, because I haven't the faintest clue what could have caused it. I did a flawless trip from Earth to Venus orbit in a DGIV, deployed a probe, and returned to Earth orbit just fine. Did reentry almost...

Hey all. Has anyone ever had a problem with CTDs regarding the Dragonfly? All the default Dragonfly scenarios appear to load at first, but then a CTD message pops up. When I create a custom scenario, I can create a Dragonfly just fine, and see it in external and HUD view, but an attempt to...

Could someone help me with my plight? I'm not exactly sure when this started. I'm not sure if it's when I installed the hi-res KSC textures, or if it's when I added slat's pads to the area or installed AutoFCS (both of which involved some edits to the Canaveral CFG files). Either way, while...

Hey all. I was just curious if anyone was considering doing a project on SpaceShip II. I'm aware the SpaceShip I is already existent, so it seems like all that may be required is something similar, but with a mere a mesh update?

So while playing Orbiter, I ended up getting a spacecraft very far away from the sun. I noticed, that despite the distance, one side of the ship remains illuminated, and the other is dark. I was also thinking about how Mercury can be just as illuminated by the sun as Neptune -- at least in...

Hey everyone, I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this. Feel free to move it if need be. I've searched the Orbiter forums and Google in general, but cannot find a solution to my problem. I've been trying to edit the STSVC01.dds file (its virtual cockpit), to make some minor changes in...

Hi all, I was just curious if there is any chance of an improved Space Shuttle Virtual Cockpit, at least when it comes to resolution. Notably, some of the cockpit text is blurry, while others is clear. If it's not possible to improve the cockpit as a whole, would it at least be possible to...

Hey all, I've recently downloaded the DG-Launchers (which are cool by the way), but I'm having a bit of trouble with XR2 launches with the European launcher. Basically, I can launch just fine. The SRB's come off, and the spacecraft continues with the external tank attached. But then, for some...

I just reinstalled Orbiter 2010 but I am having trouble with staging. For example, with Shuttle Fleet, the SRB's and External Tank just sort of "blink away" when they jettison. I downloaded Vinka's multistage, and though I installed properly... but it doesn't seem to work.

Hi everyone! I use Orbiter 2010, but I find that when using Planetarium Mode (F9), I cannot see the labels for the plants and moons in the solar system. All I get are lines in the background. Even when I checked to see the planetarium options, I checked everything on, but there are still no...

Hi everyone, Unfortunately, I've been having a problem which I just noticed today. Essentially, the main runway (and the main runway only as far as I can tell) at Cape Canaveral is having clipping issues. In other words, it for some reason appears to "flicker." I do not know of any downloads...

Hi everyone, I seem to be having a problem with the Shuttle Fleet's drag chute. I notice that it is properly deploying for the Atlantis Space Shuttle, but apparently not the other shuttles, such as Columbia. I'm using Kukanotas' updated drag chute mesh and textures and the Shuttle Fleet for...

Hi everyone, I was just wondering if anyone has been having problems with the Venus Shruka Station in Orbiter 2010, particularly in regards to the DGIV. I noticed that Shukra scenarios involving the DGIV won't load properly. I can load the other ones fine though (such as ones with the...

I'm having trouble setting the appropriate Offset for TLI using the AMSO addon. No matter what I do, the IMFD map-mode doesn't change, and keeps saying I'll smack right into the moon. I've followed the tutorial closely, but to no avail. I know that you need to change the "Rad" in the IMFD to...

Hi everyone, Well ever since I've learned how to fly the DGIV, I've rarely flown the original DG. But I still like to fly it on occassion. I noticed it was terrible for re-entry, so I downloaded the DeltaTweak 0.2 on Orbit Hangar which allows it to re-enter at 40 degrees AOA. I also...

Hi everyone, Occassionally when running certain scenarios, Orbiter crashes randomly. I check the Orbiter log which tells me that an Orangesoil and Tree texture is missing. Does anyone know how to resolve this? >>> ERROR: Missing texture: orulex\orangesoil.dds >>>...
