Hi, If you happen to have made (or found somewhere else) a profile for Orbiter (2016 in my case) in the Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Profiler Windows Software that includes most / all commands and conceivably a sensible assignment to buttons... would you please export and then share it with...

I think that in order to kill yourself or get seriously injured you would need at least 15 m/s. For example falling from a fourth floor (12 m.) you would hit the ground at 15.5 m./sec. and be injured even if you land the best way you can. Which is landing on the balls of the feet and rolling...

I see some sort of driving shaft on the showel. But it would be more practical if it had a more pointed shape. Like a wide leaf. Anyhow, it's wonderful for tilling and for making ditches for sowing. Bottom line, the guy is a genius and I want one!

At the risk of sounding fastidious... But I think that the national insignia that would go with the Federal Republic of Germany flag (black, red, gold) would be the Iron Cross-like one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Roundel_of_the_German_Air_Force_border.svg rather than the balkenkreuz...

Raid what? If the aliens have the material resources and the availability of energy that they must have to come to the Solar System, it means two things. 1-.They have pretty much solved their own energy and material problems. 2-. They can go to other solar systems. To Use and colonize them...

Simply, choose a mythology, a novel, a poem, a cycle of tales or sacred book you like particularly and stick with it throughout. A long one, preferably, with characters to suit every planet and help remember which is which. Those are the better sounding names chosen by SF authors. Chanson de...

I don't know... Ubisoft's Il-2 series has quite a following, and you can find Il-2 1946 easily. It is realistic enough that the advice given by the real pilots of the real planes work wonderfully, and doing the things they tell you not to do bring disaster upon you. Though Birds of Prey, for...

I have seen this idea suggested, in an SF story If I recall correctly, it is the story "The Children's Hour" in the Man-Kzin Wars III series of books by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle, Dean Ing and others. The Arm (Earth and humans' Armed Forces) sent a bomber named the Yamamoto to drop kinetic...

More and more, our lives go online. It's just that the data is not organized or summarized. More and more, we are invited to organize that data and put it online. Maybe by then there will be ethics and a body of law surrounding unauthorized reconstruction of somebody's life. Maybe not. As long...

I politely suggest some documentation, and packaging... Hello, I did not know what it was about until I installed it. The description included in www.orbithangar.com told me little about what it does. You should tell everyone that you have produced a beautiful, smooth, interactive 3D orbital...

I used Firefox. And still use it. But Chrome is soooo fast loading that the bugs splatter against my windshield.

They should, if the company folds! They should be fired by natural causes, Like the company breaking up under their feet and the shareholders and the rest of the board crying for their heads and getting it too! But that can be left to adequate corporate governance and it's right because it's...

Maybe I am not the brightest bulb... And I cannot compare mi humble understanding of people to the all-knowing decision makers involved here... But... was it not simpler to post a simple, visible note NEXT, or ON the extinguishers, reminding the user of said extinguishers that It is NOT...

Thanks, but still... Thanks for the answer, Tommy. Anyhow, the "bug" with OrbiterSound and the playlists still stands. Is not there anyone who has experienced the very same problem I have? It's not esotheric... It's about a realplayer playlist, deleted audio files (along with their...

Recently, I tried to open Orbiter after a long absence (2 months) I got, invariably, a crash to desktop (CTD), white screen and all that. Nothing in the Orbiter.log, except that the error probably occurred when Orbiter initialized the panels... Well, I uninstalled every single addon I could...
