I've just started using Orbiter 2016 with the hires planetary textures and I have to say I am a bit disappointed that the surface of bodies such as the Moon and Mars are not shaded correctly. I thought the whole point of having elevation data was to shade the surfaces realistically. Maybe I...

I have finally downloaded Orbiter 2016 and I have forgotten which basic improvements I downloaded for 2010. There were things like Spacecraft 2 or 3, sound upgrades and various others. Can anyone point me to info about the best things to get straight away for 2016? Thanks for any help.

The RCS thrusters on any ship that I use keep getting stuck on (usually UP rotation). I can turn off the RCS and kill the rotation with the scenario editor, but as soon as I turn on the RCS, the thrusters come on. Any ideas? (Orbiter 2010, Windows XP)

I have made my own fictional solar system and I was pretty proud of it until I tried to take off in a Shuttle-A from my Earth-like planet. I couldn't. The surface gravity was 1.7 MN! This on a planet that is very similar in size and mass to the Earth. Strange. So, I made another planet very...

I am trying to add an attachment point to the UCGO Shuttle-A without success. I have added BEGIN_ATTACHMENT P -0.319 0.0 2.464 0 0 1 0 1 0 SH P -0.319 0.0 -2.464 0 0 -1 0 1 0 SH END_ATTACHMENT to the config file, but according to tl8's attachment addon it is not working. Can...

For some reason I have only just discovered Dansteph's UCGO version of the Shuttle-A. I like the docking lights, but I would prefer them to be brighter and with a wider beam. Can anyone tell me how to change this? Any help would be appreciated.

I've used Orbiter for some time without ever using the nav frequencies. I don't actually know what they are for or what they do. I can launch, dock, navigate around the Solar System and land without ever using any of that IDS/XPDR stuff. Can anyone tell me what use the frequencies are?

I'm asking this because I have found some old mylar eclipse glasses from 1999, which I may use for tomorrow's partial eclipse, and I don't want to fry my eyes.

This is my problem. White surface tiles in AMSO. It happens only in AMSO in Orbiter 2010 100830. Other addons work fine. AMSO in Orbiter 2006 works fine. I'm sure this happened to many people, but I can't find a fix. Any help is much appreciated. :cheers:

Windows XP. DX9. NOT DX9 Client. Orbiter 100830. I downloaded and installed Well and Dansteph's Orcus Patera Base, plus the new Deltaglider IV and Orbitersound 4.0. I also have the latest UMMU. Problem: The landscape and most of the buildings do not appear. I just get featureless ground, some...

I was fooling around in Saturnian orbit the other day when I suffered a program crash. I'm not sure what caused it, but the effect has been to amalgamate Saturn's moons. I'm not kidding: Uploaded with ImageShack.us Peculiar. Any help?

I think it is, or was, a building associated with the USA's Air Force Systems Command. This image is from about 40 or 50 years ago.

I've finally upgraded to 2010 only to encounter a couple of problems. First of all, the program almost always produces an error when I exit the program. Here is the last one: Code: 0xc0000005 Flags: 0x00000000 Record: 0x0000000000000000 Address: 0x000000007c910a73 Module 1 orbiter.exe...

I cannot seem to get Brainstorm's Hermes into orbit from Kourou! Can someone tell me roughly what flight profile to try? I've tried about ten times now in various ways without success. The craft simply doesn't seem to have the power (in my hands anyway). Any help would be appreciated.
