ORBITER-FORUM will be temporarily closed at 2026-07-23 18:00 UTC while we complete some OF maintenance tasks. The amount of downtime is expected to take up to one hour, but probably less.
I like to do it old-school. I keep a fresh install of Orbiter 2016 on CD, and also a separate CD where I keep all my downloaded addons organized, and some of my favourite scenarios (Inverted Direct Reentry from Moon, etc.). I just like re-installing things, as my Orbiter folder often gets...
Hey, I just have an old laptop that I do my school work on, it's what I am using. It is very slow, so nothing too hi-spec. It runs Orbiter at about 45 fps.
Hello Everyone.
I am just wondering if there is some kind of mod that adds an updated ISS with the current modules.
I tried the Donamy and Thorton ISS mod, but it runs really slowly on my computer, even with low-res mode.
Is there some kind of "all one craft" ISS mod instead of pieces, like in...
10th grade is going pretty well, I play Orbiter during free time! I saved the direct lunar inverted reentry scenario, and I love reentering and landing. Very Fun. Wish there was some kind of auto-land mfd of some sort.
Ohh, I see you are new here. Welcome! I recommend you get started with David Courtney's tutorials. Get familiar with the basics, Launch, Ascent, Rendezvous, Moon, Deorbit, Reentry, Landing with the basic Delta Glider. Once you have done those missions at least 2-5 times, learn how to use mod...
MFDs: IMFD, Aerobrake, Attitude, Glideslope, Pursuit, Lola, Basesync, Transx, Rendezvous, Launch are some essential mfds I "must have". They are very very useful and are must know things.
Ah crap I think I got the wrong message here. Sorry about that I guess I was being too excited. Actually, it's just a small project by 4 or so people who are possibly from the RO/RSS/RP-1 team. Sorry for the misinformation. https://www.openspaceprogram.org/
I installed the mod Ascension 2016 L18 but it seemed to move the island and mess up the runways. There is a random runway on the side....
I just want to move the runways and taxiways onto the island instead of the water. It is now on water whenever I use d3d9 client. It is fine with the default...
Ahh, I figured out the cause of the overheating. I had to do a manual roll-over while trying to not expose the top of the hull to the reentry heating. I managed to do a perfectly good reentry and landing. 45 degrees anticipation angle wasn't enough, causing a high deacceleration and heat near...
Ohh, thanks. Is there some kind of pre-release or beta version of Ascension Ultra?
I installed the mod called ascension 2016 L18, which fixed the island, but the runways and taxiways are still off the island. Is there a way I can move the base in config file, or is it not worth the trouble?
I did my first ever return from the moon, including a direct inverted reentry, flipover, and direct landing all on the brink of hull temps. very very nice.
Hey y'all!
So Wideawake International's runways are bent if I enable terrain, and the entire spaceport sits on the water when I am using D3D9.
Someone said that I should get a mod called Ascension 2016 L18 that should fix the terrain, will that help?
Also, I am kinda confused because...
