Gidday Enjo.
Just an fyi.
I use Orbiter in teaching but run it on Mac laptops using WineHQ. It works very well. Only a few things don't work.
TransX has always worked great and for the release 7/7/18 TransX2 also now works. :thumbup:
Same thing
:ditto: I get the same thing.
I am using orbiter.exe and running on a mac using wineHQ, but interesting someone else had the same issue on orbiter.ng with a PC many years ago.
It's fine when first selected but any button selection sees the displayed text shift left and cutoff the...
Thanks Brian
Luv the SpaceX scenarios.
The new Space Shuttle for me.
The 1st stage flyback for CRS-14 launch has no autopilot selectable or fuel in the Control Panel.
Can we just edit the scenario to include?
Many thanks.:tiphat:
Install Instructions
Hi I'm having trouble with seeing any texture change with the install.
Confirming that"
1. I edit my Atlantis.cfg file (located in Config/Vessels) to include the line: RenderCockpit = TRUE
2. Then place the panels.dds file into the Textures2/Atlantis folder.
Many thanks
Thanks Brian,
I have been slow with feedback.
I run Orbiter on a Mac with WineHQ. I expect the HiRes textures don't render well.
I will verify with my PC.
Hi Res West Coast Textures
Hi Brian et all,
The high res textures for West Coast would be for Vandenberg, yes?
The zip file has 3 folders (Elev, Mask, Surface). Do I drop these folders, as is, into Orbiter 2016 Textures/Earth folder, next to the Archive folder?
Should I see a noticeable...
Now that was fast. Even updated the documentation :tiphat:

Brian has it working well. Download the latest update.
First stage can be jettisoned either via control panel (K) or keypad 'N". (see his...
Hi Brian,
If I am launching manually, how do i jettison the 1st stage and ignite the second stage? Is that possible.
Thanks,

I have tried the jettison 1st stage from the launch control, without any luck.
I just love the Orbiter program and community. I have a group of students who are learning orbital dynamics using Orbiter 2016 on macOS. It runs excellently using WineHQ.
Thank you Martin et all.:salute:
A basic question that i can't find the answer to, that may lead to the second question.
Enjo et all,
Does the Launch MFD Autopilot (for 2016) control the stock Shuttle Atlantis?
I am able to get it to control azimuth and pitch for the Delta Glider by pitching up and waiting till the speed...
Keep Default Base
Hi Brian,
Isn't Orbiter the best community! Thank you for all you do.:tiphat:
I'm a newbie (relatively) and would like to launch the Falcon using your mesh, but also still launch the Shuttle from LC39A.
Could you hint at how I could manage the files/rename and tag them in...
Dear Don, Pappy,
Would it be much trouble to write a few scenarios for the CRS-11 with payloads. Launch, docking etc?
For us newbies, we would be learning how to update the date, ISS location etc for a 3 June flight.
BUT THANK YOU FOR THE FAST PAYLOADS! :tiphat:

Is there a place to offer feeback for the beta version? I noticed a texture error when viewing the shuttle Atlantis side on, when it's on the lauch pad.
Many thanks
