I did find an abandoned website which had a game based on the orbiter engine, though It has been ever abandoned. It should be in the thousands of bookmarks I have archived. I heard that the MFDs for Orbiter are compatible with it also.
I enjoy flying the XR5 as a space cargo/ passenger pilot, ferrying from Wide-Awake International to a Lunar Village I was working on (so far abandoned, maybe in the future I will continue work on it). I also enjoy doing accurate and precision direct reentries back to Wide-Awake using clever...
Thank you so much for your response!
Also, is Fundamentals of Astrodynamics a good book to read and learn the calculations/physics behind such orbital mechanics (including transfers)?
I saw the book being reccommended in Go Play in Space. Can a person like me read it? Is it appropriate for...
Hello friends.
It has been a long time since I last posted. Now I have started 11th grade in the IB Diploma Programme.
For my Physics Internal Assessment and the 4000 word, interdisciplinary extended-essay, I was wondering if I could use Orbiter to conduct research and write papers about...
I haven't been here in a long time, but I decided to come back to India and study IBDP for my 11th and 12th years. It is gonna be tough adjusting to the country and the curriculum, but I am sure I will succeed.
BurtnTime MFD has a braking distance. I just set dv to the orbital speed, select engine, take a look at the braking distance (It says something distance), activate attitude autopilot, and excecute the burn at the correct distance according to map MFD.
I would learn IMFD. It has helped greatly. Although I ahven't gone to mars, I have returned from moon several times. My favourite thing to do is an inverted, direct, reentry, and landing. IMFD allows you to do such things, and is a powerful tool.
Is it possible to do a traditional, In-plane lunar transfer using IMFD? I know you can do a offplane lunar transfer. Or would that just be using the Map program and Delta-V Program?
I understand the usefulness of off-plane lunar transfer, especially when you are launching from high lattitude...
Hello Everyone.
I have decided to build a small simpit.
I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick, and plan on getting a couple of monitors for mfds.
I plan on using a table and cardboard/wood for the panels. I don't plan on getting switches, just mfds and speakers for the sounds.
Does anyone...
I do love 2016's graphics and improvements, but don't mind getting 2010 graphics and more addon gameplay. It reminds me of FSX and other graphics of the era. The nostalgia is nice.
