General Question Mullti-solar system support In Orbiter

[NightWing]

Hi everybody.

I'm using this wonderful space flight simulator since I discovered It in 2007. I have both 2006 and 2010 versions on my PC

I'm an amateur of free flight simulators and I'm only asking If one day, It would be possible to implement a multi-solar sytem support in the core of Orbiter.

I know that Celestia has this system implemented, and I know It wouldn't be an easy task to do the same for Orbiter. But I hope some skilled Orbiter devellopers will be interested by this issue in the future.

Here is the thread for Orbiter Galaxy: http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=9428&highlight=galaxy

Happy orbiting in the southern skies.

At first its funny to see that the free world is such small and the combo of orbiter, celestia and flightgear is the same one I am using

Then talking about traveling to other stars (and what else do you need simulation more than one system at same time) I have to say this is far far away from nearly realistic simulation. Vessels like Voyager just reach outer limits of our solar system but will never reach distances like the nearest star. So this is science fiction at its best and not the main idea behind orbiter I would say

Hi,

Thanks for the link to This addon, Furet:tiphat:. and I hope Jedidia wil keep improving it in the future.

I like realistic simulation,but from time to time I need to escape Into my imagination.That's why I uses Orbiter Galaxy, WarpMFD or stargate addon to explore cizurator's nearest systems.

I understand and I respect your point of view Mythos. But dreaming, was an essential catalyser to all human beings' space adventures.(From the first man in space to the first man on the moon. And humanity keeps dreaming about sending people to Mars, and why not building A warp-travelling spacecraft or an inter-stellar Gate...)

Here is my little dream for Orbiter:

Merging Celestia's star database with the core of the next edition of Orbiter.This will make direct warp-travelling to all known stars and solar systems with recently discovered exoplanets possible :thumbup:.

Wouldn't be heavenly and amazing to know that every single star in Orbiter's sky is reachable!?

I used to dream about that as well, so i made Spaceway.
Think Noctis meets Orbiter.
Eventually some of it's remains ended up in Orbiter Galaxy, but it may still be worth a look.

Hi,

Thanks for offering us, during many years your wonderful addons :tiphat:.

Spaceway seems to be a promising project. Unfortunely my old PC's performances doesn't match with this simulator requirements.

I think adding Celestia's star databaste to Orbiter's core would be as difficult as rebuilding the entire simulator.So let's be content with what we have.

Thanks for repliying:tiphat:.

Regards, Pierre.
