Anything special I need to do for OrbiterSound? The 4.0 version I already have should work OK, right?

Please tell me somebody's working on an add-on or ten from this awesome series! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X5gXIQmY-E&hd=1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jX72phGGmc&hd=1 (Sorry, can't seem to find a featurette on the VFX & spacecraft design) EDIT: Can't seem to remember how to embed...

Bought this thing for my nifty new HP Envy, and the "User Documentation" only shows you ONE thing: Where to plug it in. THAT'S IT! Nothing about how to assign functions to the various buttons, or anything! The company's website says "There are no manuals for this product." And when I ran the...

Well, the new HP Envy does everything I want it to! Runs Orbiter & Celestia super-smooth @60fps, which is more than I ever used to do! My only big problem so far is that whenever I hit f1 to switch between internal & external views, I get taken out of Orbiter and into the "Get connected to the...

Well, Celestia bogs it down, even with the basic settings, so I guess I'm gonna have to take this one back, and go for an actual gaming laptop at more than twice the price. ---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:29 PM ---------- Oooooh, that's the one! Thanks...

Really? Cool! I haven't been there in over a year, so I guess it's time for another visit!

Well, this is what I ended up with... HP Pavilion 15-ab253cl (Touch) Notebook PC Product Specifications It was $600 at Costco. Microprocessor: 6th generation Intel® Core™ i5-6200U (2.3GHz with turbo boost up to 2.8GHz , 3MB L3 Cache) Dual Core Video Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 520 with up...

Nope, not the only reason. (I'm also gonna be buying a desktop PC later.) But I've tried for years to tell people about Orbiter (y'know, for science classes & such), but I figured I have to show them, but can't very well ask them to install it on their computers just to demo.

Then how am I gonna show off Orbiter to the folks down where they're keeping Endeavour?

Say, what happened to Kendo's Trek add-on's? Did he get a C&D from the CBS lawyers? I'm getting ready to come back to the Orbiter fold, after a long stint as a Mac user, and the first add-on I was gonna load up was that gorgeous Enterprise Refit, and try out that awesome hangar bay!

...that can run Orbiter. Lookin' for maximum capability at minimum cost. Been using a Mac for the past 10 years, but I had a PC clone in addition to the Mac before that, and that thing could only barely run Orbiter. I recently inherited some money, so now I can afford to own more than one...

Hey there! Thanks for your help when I asked about laptops good for running Orbiter on a couple of days ago in the chat! I got sidetracked and forgot to check back. Cheers! Chris

When I went down to the California ScienCenter to hang out with Endeavour, I asked around, and none of the staff members had ever heard of Orbiter! One would think this program would come in useful around there, huh? I need to buy a PC laptop that can run Orbiter nicely (I'm on Mac), and then...

I'd read in a book on screenwriters that they like to get up at 3 a.m. to do their writing, because "the rest of the world is asleep", so I decided to see if it works the same for reading (since I'm not one of those who likes to read themselves to sleep at night). Happy to say that it does — I...

Saw it at Grauman's Chinese in IMAX 3D, and the visuals were just as stunning as everybody's said. Inaccuracies about orbital mechanics aside, here were some quibbles of my own: • The dialogue had that odd quality that comes about when a non-native English speaker creates an English-language...

Awesome work, Javier! Back when I owned a PC, before going back to Mac, I got hooked on Virtual Sailor (after I'd already become addicted to Orbiter, that is), and I always wished that those two sims could be combined — that way you could have realistic splashdown and recovery operations after...

Hmmm, in a perfect world, I can get one of each!

I've been out of the Orbiter fold for a while, having gone back to Mac about 6 years ago. Recent events may soon allow me the ability to purchase a second computer, but I want a good system that's not too expensive, so I can finally run Orbiter with a decent frame rate! Anybody got any...
