I read this the other day: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Relativity/BlackHoles/fall_in.html

I agree on deleting the existing lists. They're kind of outdated and confusing if your new to the simulator. Maybe make a list of "essential addons". The ones almost everyone has (Dan's addons, D3D9, etc.). But that's basically just the most downloaded files lists on Orbit Hangar. Probably...

They need to figure out a way to have Google not index the https site. Or move the https site to another port and shutdown 443. Google ignores the real content on the http site. I can't seem to be able to use Google to find some mods on OH, and the search engine on OH is not as useful as...

It would be cool if you made a version with reduced line thickness. Like the 1px HUD addon.

I've often wondered (knowing very little about astrophysics and relativity) if you crossed the event horizon of a black hole, if you would experience falling into it for an amount of time approaching infinity. Would people watching you fall in see it happen in "normal" time and the people...

Welcome to Orbiter Forum. I don't know for sure where to share your preset, but my guess would be on Orbit Hangar under the Utilities, Programs category. Or Miscellaneous, Software. Maybe an addon dev can suggest something. You use your same account on that site as you do here. Be sure to...

The torrents completed, and I compared them to the ones on the orbitersimulator.com site. Same sizes when decompressed. I also found after posting this thread that the Recommended Addons for 2010 list on this site links to the orbitersimulator.com. So must be fine. It just seemed odd to me...

I'm trying to get Orbiter 2010 and all the main high res texture packs. The texture pack torrents listed here have no seeders. Looking at a 24 hour download time over a 150 Mbps connection. Are the downloads from this site legit? That site doesn't appear to be affiliated with Dr. Schweiger...

Thanks for the info. I've got to where I prefer to disable pitch guidance and just use the heading guidance and control my own ascent. I cannot, however, launch into a circular orbit without a circularization burn like LaunchMFD does on Earth with the DG. That's impressive. Thanks for this...

I've searched for an answer to this and read the LaunchMFD manual, and I'm still not certain how to know how much throttle to apply. Apologies if this has been explained before. I'm trying to take off from Brighton Beach in the stock Delta Glider in Orbiter 2016, and LaunchMFD keeps wanting to...

What I LOVE about Orbiter is the realism. I was disappointed when I learned that the KSP solar system was smaller than ours in both number of bodies and overall scale of the distance. Having a model of our solar system to play in is great. Also, the lack of elaborate surface textures and...

Thanks for the responses! Exactly what I was looking for.

I'm trying to use LaunchMFD on the moon with the Delta Glider. I set an escape course back to Earth with TransX. When I target LaunchMFD to TransX, everything looks good. I launch and enable the auto pilot. Ascent is good. Then at 6 km it suddenly goes vertical and just keeps going in this...

I'm new to Orbiter, and have flown a mission from Earth to Moon only using the stock MFDs in 2016. Landed at Brighton manually. Very fun figuring things out. I'm wanting to learn one of the flight planing MFDs. I'm guessing TransX and IMFD are the best for this? Which one does the job...

I discovered Orbiter a couple of weeks ago, and have been at it non-stop since then. I've got hundreds of hours in Kerbal Space Program, but always wanted something like Orbiter. Found out about it reading Youtube comments on a video of a guy landing the shuttle in X-Plane (been using X-Plane...
