its creator hasn't abandonned the development yet, he stated that he considers Orbiter 2016 not mature enough and is more focused on his professional life.

I agree! There are no bugs in Orbiter 2016! In 2010p1 the planets were flat. In 2016 they have height to them! All my stuff for 2010p1 works fine in 2016!

There are a few annoying Bugs in Orbiter 2016. But nothing severe. But I can understand him waiting for a Orbiter 2016P1 instead of porting all add-ons instantly.



Remember, that takes a lot of work and time.

Bugs no, but limited surface implementation yes.


There's no good solution for walking on the surface.
As far as I know, the existing solutions are a hack of the landed state, doing surface coordinate and heading calculations on their own.

As it is, it's good for descent and landing only, and that's a bit improvement over 2010.
But I understand why developers are waiting for a more complete surface EVA solution
