Could anyone recommend a (somewhat realistic) spaceship which I could use for a manned mission to Saturn? It would be great to use a ship where I can have a small lander craft docked, to perform landings with. I've practiced some lunar missions, a little space station construction in LEO, and...

Here's an easy challenge: Take a screenshot from lunar orbit showing the Earth rising over the lunar horizon, and the sun rising over Earth at the same time, like in the famous scene from the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey". There is certainly room for improvement on my alignment..

I've just started working with the SDK and meshes. I've got ShuttlePB.dll compiled and running. If I use the shuttlePB.dll it works ok. But as soon as I switch the mesh to my own custom mesh (a sphere with a material) then Orbiter crashes after loading. Below is the mesh I am using (exported...

I'm thinking about creating some simple vessels. But my art skills are minimal. Are there any free 2d panel textures (switches, indicator lights) or 3d models which could be rendered to 2d? Is it possible to use those from the default orbiter vessels in creating my own panel?

The MFDs supply the exact orbital elements for my spacecraft, but this doesn't seem very realistic to me, especially when I'm not in Earth orbit (with the advantages of the gps system). I know the Apollo astronauts took star sightings with a sextant, and had radar altimeters to verify the...

I've been busy so far with trips to the moon, Mars, and a little space station construction. Now I feel its time for a Grand Voyage to Jupiter space to explore its moons. Can you recommend a good addon vessel for doing this? I'd like it to be somewhat realistic (no warp drives etc), and be able...

For my first steps in building a space station, I've managed to get the Energia with Buran-T set up. In the Buran-T I've placed a module for my space station, and a DM tug to lift it into orbit. I've used payload manager to place these things together and I think its correct. Launch goes well...

I like to set GlassCockpitMode to Yes, but every time I restart orbiter the config has reset itself. Is it possible to save the configuration so I don't need to change this all the time?

Hi, I understand how to change my inclination, and to change the eccentricity, but I don't know how to rotate the plane of my orbit... moving the ascending and descending nodes around (the line of nodes should rotate within a plane my orbit intersects with). Can someone please enlighten me if...
