    Orbiter graphics - Like these?

    Question How do you estimate the weight of a vessel?

    I loaded ISS to MIR mission and estimates a tangential transfer to the sun. It tells me 29900k . Does it mean it takes a dV = 29,000,000 m/s? Is the magnitude that big? Or am I reading it wrong?

    Gaming Video games you want to see turned into movies

    Yes. It turns first person interactive experience into a 3rd person passive experience. It will lose any ludology in it, since movies are mostly non interactive narratology. Games that rely on ludology like solitaire or asteroids would have a hard time becoming a movie. What would I like...

    Making a full length feature film based on Orbiter

    I think that for indoors it would be conventional animation. For outdoors it may be some sort of compositing of characters and after effects on top of Orbiter renders. For scenes on planet surfaces, Terragen would be the tool of choice.
