General Question New & Need Help: Do I Find These Addons?

[Darth Corleone]

!Hello All, I was looking for some Star Trek ship models for another game (Klingon Academy) when I accidentely found the Orbiter Hanger site with lots of models. I then discovered that the models on OH needed the Orbiter program. I downloaded and installed Orbiter 2010 and the Recomended addons. I seem to have Orbiter working proberly.
Last evening I installed a simple Klinglon Bird of Prey addon from the Orbit hanger and I can load and play it. I then wanted to try out another addon and after reading the installation instructions for that addon it said that I needed to have these addons mods or whatever:

Requires Vinka's spacecraft2 and spacecraft3!!!
Requires STAR TREK UNIVERSE addon

I'd like to know just where do I get them? Or are they already installed in Orbiter 2010? Please Help...

P.S. I'm still getting up to speed on using Orbiter so forgive me if i'm posting on the wrong forum. DC

Well first off, welcome to the forums!

I found Orbiter by looking for a Firefly; been hooked ever since.

Anyway, Spacecraft2 and Spacecraft3 (hereafter known as SC2 or SC3) are still around, developers at one time released addons with it included. It can still be found. There is also an ongoing project to keep SC3 ships compatible with Orbiter to avoid leaving obsolete ships behind.

Thank's for your speedy reply. I did some more looking and somehow managed to find the addons I was looking for. I think SC2 and SC3 were allready installed by another addon.
I found STU and it's 2 updates (STU-update1 and STU-update2). However, after attempting to install them i ran into a problem. So i tried email the creator "cezura" but the email link failed. i then posted on the addons site the following to him:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear cezura, I'm new to Orbiter but have lost of experiance installing
mods. I'd like to get som basic info from you.

1. I have a good working Orbite 2010 installed on my Win-7 system. I
installed a sinple Klingon Bird of Prey addon from Orbit Hanger and it
also works.
2. I wanted to add more addons but some of them needs Your Star Trek
Universe addon. I found it along with STU Update1 and STU Update2.
3. After installing and replaceing all the files I'm stuck here. I
have no Star Trek scenario file to add the ships to. I see on the pdf
in Your readme an example of the Star Trek scenario file but have no
file of that kind in any of the 3 STU+(1&2) files I downloaded .
4. Where do or how do i get a ST scenario file to add the ships from
update 2 to.
5. Is STU compatiable with Orbiter 2010 or do i have to get Orbiter 6
of something else.
6. Also, There is a map inside STU-update 2 main folder. What or where do i
place it?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
if You or anyone can help me with these sorta simple problems it will really help. thank's again.

To assist in troubleshooting I downloaded ST Universe and the update. Both seem to work fine in Orbiter 2010. I didn't hang out too long at the K-7 space station because I didn't want tribbles to invade my house. I did take the Defiant out for a spin around the station though.

I didn't download a Bird of Prey, but did grab the USS Appalachia. It too works A-OK. The Appalachia comes with it's own scenario, there should have been another scenario (Defiant at DS-9) that has a multitude of starbases, Defiant and 2 shuttles. To get the Appalachia into this scenario I'd need to cut and paste.

That map seems to be informational, along with all those other pictures.

Can you tell me which BOP you are wanting to use? I'll take a look at it...

Also. GET THIS! http://www.softpedia.com/get/Others/Miscellaneous/Generic-Mod-Enabler.shtml

100% safe to use. Many of us here use it. Run it and drop it into your /Orbiter directory. There it will create a folder for you (aptly titled "Mods"). When you unzip a download move the unzipped folder to this Mods. Then run the JGSME and add it, or remove something, as you desire. It's not hard to figure out. You can search here on the forum for several threads on how to use it and what it does.

Thank's for all the help. I got all the spacecraft.dlls at Vinla.s Site.
There is only 1 bird of Prey listed when you put klingon in the search box there. i's about 160kb in size. I tried it in a Orbiter031217 version and it works perfect and the wings move. However, there is no sound. It looks like i'll need orbiter sound version 2.5. I can't seem to find that anywhere. i tried a orbiter 06xxxx version but I no see BoP but no CTD.
