This is an open inquiry. I'd like to practise my terrain texture generating by looking at some legacy addons with good runway and taxiway modeling (specifically, those based on real airports such as SFIA). As these bases do not have surface tiles, their positions may need to be shifted to...

The regulars of Orbiter Multiplayer might post around in the forums talking like Red Barons. However we are not murderous aces flying scarlet painted XR2s. Most of the time online, we're either involved with team-building exercises (what else do you call capital ship ops with fighter escort?)...

Dear all, It's come to my notice that some of us, myself included two months ago, enter the world of Orbiter with little knowledge with which to take to the stars with. Therefore as soon as I got my wings (with stars and moon) I wanted to setup a VSA that dispensed with the usual fancy...

Do you have quicksaves with your ship in an emergency situation, such as a damaged and overheating XR5 low on fuel and oxygen in a steep dive towards Earth? As my flight time is limited these days I'd like to see if you have any declared emergencies to share (or make some) so I can put them...

As some of you may have been aware, I have in production a wide area Texas terrain pack for the past week or so. Progress had been rapid and the basic infrastructure of major and minor airports, "Sky Ranches" (tiny private fields) and maybe a landspeeder superhighway or two might be ready this...

Dear Sirs :P I'm a totally horrid newbie to scripting but can find my way around config files. But one thing bugs me: I was working on a UCGO deployed hot air balloon earlier today and while the deploying part works right, the balloon insists on appearing out of the cargo pod with a full...

This is a spin-off from the Firefly Squadron Operations discussion on 3 February 2011. V0.11 uploaded with linear RCS as close-maneuvering drives. Do not use main engines for delicate maneuvers like planetfall and docking. It was proposed to retrofit the "Arrow 18" class interplanetary...

OMP 2010 is growing at a rapid rate. During the first week of January 2011 we were flying deltagliders in circles around Wideawake. By the end of this month, we've progressed to simulated commercial suborbital flights around the world as well as operating sci fi ships on direct ascent to...

After taking a couple of Vitamin C tablets today to combat the threat of an on the local highways to get home, so I checked in a quaint little diner at the basement to have some dinner. The food is quite ersatz but what mattered was the privacy the locale afforded. In any case I was served a...

Some films just have to give you that sense of deja vu. And that's what makes them special. It comes to mind that since I started playing Orbiter again - and seriously this time, my mindset on space had changed. It's no longer a land of fantasies and wanton freedom without bounds of...

Here is my first repaint for the Ravenstar, inspired by the Macross 25th Anniversary Airshow livery. Pic: http://orbiter-forum.com/group.php?do=picture&groupid=81&pictureid=4168 Download: http://www.orbithangar.com/searchauth.php?search=carmen a My next project will be a Koenig Monster...

There are so many things in life worth enjoying, and it's easy to be swept away by rapidly changing trends. So, sometimes you take a look at things and places you've left behind, and realise you've never really enjoyed them in the past. For there's so much more to discover. Take Orbiter for...

Dear all, I'm trying to launch a few "DIY space stations" using the XR5 but right after SCRAM ascent the computer seems to CTD very often making a launch impossible. I have also tried adding station components using the XR5's payload manager and that simply crashes the program immediately...

I've been playing Orbiter on and off since the early days but the recent upgraded ships such as the XR series really impressed me. I thought I'd drop by and see if anyone likes to do aerobatics in Orbiter while playing unfitting music in the background :)

Oh hi, I'm new here and don't really grasp the basics of orbital mechanics but I really like the new XR-class ships. I enjoy the systems complexity, the detail of ship ops and of course, how could I forget, thrust-vectoring and CG controls. With that, I was bored over New Year, burned some...
