Are there any futuristic orbital stations that work with Orbiter 2016? I’m trying to populate my world with things that I can dock to and travel between.
When I first tried Orbiter, I felt a bit put off by the lack of near future bases and stations. It felt like a flight simulator with just a few airports. I downloaded XR2, which has been my spaceship of choice ever since, but it seems pretty odd for it and ISS to exist in the same world. Future...
The lack of trust is the issue here. Russia and China are considered the main villains by most countries so there's always a lot of suspicion. I believe that every Russian space project was, at one point or another, seen as potentially dangerous. Nothing new here.

That’s an amazing idea! I’m still a complete beginner, but I’m trying to learn the ropes and stations would definitely be the best way to start.
I’ve been toying with the scenario editor and placed a Deepstar in Earth’s orbit, and another one around Mars. This gives me some nice targets, even...
I don’t get the chance to do so. When I’m clicking “new” in the vessel menu, it locks these values, so I always end up with odd parameters that I can’t change. When I’m changing the reference body, it copies the odd Ecc and creates something that can’t be called an orbit - it doesn’t have an...
Using scenario editor, I can't place any vessel in stable orbit around a body other than Earth. Whenever I'm trying to set the semi-major axis to something that makes sense, it always makes it negative, with huge eccentricity, so that there is no apoapsis. It won't let me set eccentricity lower...
Since there are hardly any pre-made stations I can download for Orbiter 2016, I thought that I might use the scenario editor and building block mods such as this:

The problem is, their parts don't show up in the...
