I just got into model rocketry, I have two 6-year old daughters and managed them to get hooked already! So far, I have been using ESTES rockets and engines, I'll probably tinker with them for few more months before moving up or getting certified for anything bigger. Here's a video of our last trip:

I've come back to Orbiter after one year break and I'm using now three monitors. The problem is HUD display is now really large and low resolution (all vessels). Increasing FOV helps a bit, but it's still not optimal. Are there any hidden settings for HUD display/resolution? Thanks!

The app was for 4.99 for a while, now it's free, you can pay for some extra planes though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laminarresearch.xplane_default&hl=en

There were two 'addons' released in separate parts - someone did awesome job on Martian Olympus Mons, Valles Marineris, Face and many more, adjusting colors for L11 textures. The rework required many previous addons from OH and some from external links. I can't find those anymore.:shrug:

I'm looking for a good animation software, either freeware or payware that would do the job. Or, a person who could help me with this project for a symbolic gratitude, I cannot afford a Pixar animator, unfortunately. My closest friend died tragically in an accident on Memorial day weekend...

I've tried to drop some UCGO cargos while in the air on Mars and they just fall down, without deploying a parachute. Any suggestions?

Adding the following line in the UCGOArrowFreighter.cfg: BEGIN_DOCKLIST 0 -10 100 0 -1 0 0 0 -1 END_DOCKLIST Will generate an additional docking port that can be used for towing XR5 for interplanetary voyages. This is just a phantom port - you cannot see it and have to use dock mfd for...

Hello Orbinauts! I work for a diversified pharmaceutical company and this year we are going through some major changes - the pharma R&D will be spun-off the mother company as an independent entity. With these news last year came anxiety and fear for our future. So, our leaders decided to lift...

I'm planning mission to Mars with the Arrow Freighter, but she can carry only one vessel in the bay. I would need at least two vessels - DGIV for quick tasks like establishing a base on Phobos or carrying small crew down to the Mars surface for recon or research missions. I would also need a...

After many meetings with ISS and joyfull reentries, it is time to go to the Moon and other planets! I'm learning how to use an IMFD, I'm using the 5.5 version. I am trying to launch from KSC and land at Brighton, using DGIV. I followed one of the recommended tutorials in which at Target...

I have a DGIV docked to ISS and want to ummu-manipulate payload to dock it, but how do I get the crew out of the ship? Do I need to undock, get them out through the lock, then dock again? Or is there a way to transfer crew to the ISS and use her lock (if there is any?)

Newbie to Orbiter. I'm practicing orbiting and deorbiting and reentry with DGIV and have an issue with the time warp. I'm aiming at Wideawake, which is 4th orbit after undocking from MIR. I set up AeroBrake and BaseSync and try to accelerate time to be on a final orbit, but every time I go 100x...
