I was attempting to fly the solar sail that comes with 2010 but I can't turn it. There is nothing in the Orbiter manual about how to fly it. It doesn't rotate or anything like that. Can someone help me?

thomas suggested in his randomized planet exploration thread that you could have a "random solarsystem generator". So I have started working on one, Its not as hard as you would think. I am using random number generators to determine the parameters and to choose from modules already installed...

I've been trying to use 2010 for some missions but I've noticed that orbiter only saves six quick saves. Is this intentional? Because it really makes doing missions a lot harder.

cinder1992's demotivator of ICBM's photo gave me the idea of making a thread where people could post their Orbiter demotivators. Here is cinder1992's demotivator. cinder1992, I love this one:cheers::

The release of Orbiter 2010 has got me thinking, what about the past versions of orbiter? When did the first version come out? How many versions have there been? How did Orbiter change from one release to the others. I was really interested to learn about the history of Orbiter and its addons.

So I have decided to chronicle my mission to the Jupiter system. I am using the trusty Arrow with a DGIV docked to it. Once the arrow is in orbit of Jupiter it will act as a base for the DGIV.The DGIV will conduct four missions. It will land and set up a base on the four Galilean moons: Io...

two of the ships in my scenario are not appearing. I can still fly them they are just invisible. It started with the pma, what it strange is that it appeared before. Now the HL-20 is doing the same thing. It all started after I tried to add a second pma to the scenario. I removed the second pma...

I was attempting to launch the first mission for my space station but my scenario keeps crashing. Could someone help me fix this? The log: **** Orbiter.log Build Sep 29 2006 [v.060929] Devices enumerated: 2 Devices accepted: 2 ==> RGB Emulation ==> Direct3D HAL Found 0 joystick(s) Module...

There was an earthquake in Northern Illinois this morning. 3.8 http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2010/us2010snay/

I was working on an unpackable cargo for UCGO that would spawn a landing pad. My question is, how do I add a Nav beacon to the unpacked cargo and not a XRDP. I tried adding a line to the config file that would add one but it did not work so I think that I will have to create a ship with its own...

I was working on an unpackable cargo for UCGO. I am currently working on the packed mesh. But before I can work on the unpacked mesh I need to know, what is the diameter of a landing pad?

Check this out: http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2010-01/diamond-oceans-may-cover-neptune-and-uranus Would be a cool scenario of Orbiter don't you think?

Well like a lot of people I am having my own crashing problems. Here is the log: **** Orbiter.log Build Sep 29 2006 [v.060929] Devices enumerated: 6 Devices accepted: 5 ==> RGB Emulation ==> Direct3D HAL ==> Direct3D T&L HAL ==> Direct3D HAL (ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics ) ==>...

In the DGIV while in full screen only I see a white bar above the instrument panel. Can someone tell me how to fix this? Edit: Ok, not just the DGIV, I have that same problem in the DG

We all know how hard it is to get a probe to an asteroid in real life. Vast with the distances it is only possible to get small objects to and from them. But there is one asteroid that is coming to us, and more importantly, it is coming back. It is going to come by so close that it is going to...

I have a question regarding the Apollo sims out there. Which one is beter, AMSO, or NASSP? Should I have both, nether?

I did not see lights on earth when I ran Orbiter for the first time, so I downloaded the High Resolution Earth Lights. High Resolution Earth Night Lights version 2.0 And I still don't see any. the .PDF that came with it wants me do this: First, you must edit your EARTH.CFG file (or any...

I have a question that maybe some of the more experienced addon developers could answer. I was starting to work on a modification for the space station mainnode, StationMods I want to know how to change the location of the docking ports in the actual C++ code. I want to take the node and give it...
