All the best blixel, hoping you're up and about before the summer hols.

I don't use JonesMOD but I probably should. Otherwise I recommend the same thing: unzip the Multistage and Spacecraft files into the Orbiter Folder. This is where you originally installed Orbiter. We call it Orbiter Folder or Root Folder, like that. If you open that, using Windows like every...

Welcome and first mini-change Hi everyone- Hope you enjoy using this, and I hope it builds into a realistic transition from the historic-STS times of 1980-2011 towards the Orbiter future we know and love. Anyway... UPDATE 1 v0.11 Mini-edit Correction Log . There was a pagebreak in the...

Yeah, the military aspect of stealth spaceplanes and other X-20 type scenarios is something we want to cover 2025-2027. We'll look into Black Dart and other black programs in a few weeks... OK, the first ORBWORLD DEVPACK is nearly ready with extensive flight testing of Jason vs Dreamchaser at...

NM, you're reading my mind, my friend! Let's leave aside the equatorial inclination base - that's a very interesting argument which is mostly about economics (cost of constructing a base at Banaba + transport of materials there vs cost of launching heavier launchers from high-inc). The very...

The End of the ISS and What Happens Next Existing studies on the ultimate fate of the ISS show that the owners - principally US and Russia - don't really want to reach a decision. They'll keep postponing until it's almost too late - another 5 years at least. Then they'll make some very urgent...

Yes that's logical. But what if... Russia decided it was better to sell their modules to private investors and move them by upper stage tug to the buyer's destination. Say a new Orbital Hotel Complex based on some newer Russian units? Have a great weekend. I'm going to let off fireworks and...

Thanks a lot for that clarification. Your intended purpose for Niven base is now noted and will be reviewed in upcoming drafts in line with a ISC second lunar base profile for the 2030s or 40s. Other candidates will be sought for my Developing Countries' STN base - most likely Dan's Prelude II...

Some OrbWorld2020 Demo Screenshots

Good afternoon, Mr Molson, Your comments are not discouraging at all, that's precisely the kind of realism I want to see from other Orbusers. These points are all extremely well made :thumbup: and I'll get to them in just a moment... But first, a very nice EXTRA GOODIES PACK This one...

Best case funding? If the Jason Project were proposed by NASA and approved by US with priority funding in 2015? The history of the Shuttle development in 1975-1980 gives us about 5 years development time as a precedent... Which suggests 2020 is about right for Jason ALT and a year later for...

Thanks donamy, in relation to that - what do you think would be a realistic date for the testing of Jason ALT, and the flight service of Jason LEO as an ISS crew craft? I love your Jason LEO scenario and have adapted it to a later date of 2022, feeling your 2018 date is optimistic. For me the...

Will be (by the end of this year)... Gravity by Alfonso Cuarón starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney Sneak Peek Preview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufsrgE0BYf0 I think it's gonna be great! I'm working on a fun Orbiter Scenario based on the trailer - a really cool one would break up...
