Hello friends. You might never have read it (though you should have!) but we have a privacy policy here on Orbiter-Forum that outlines what data we collect about our users and how we use it. I've been... motivated to review these myself, more recently, and it occurred to me that ours was long...

Hi folks, As some of you will have noticed, we had an outage today that began somewhere around 06:30UTC and was formally resolved (by me) at 11:47UTC - though some people may experience issues still as things update. This happened because the primary forum domain expired, and was redirecting...

Dear Orbiter Community, Orbiter 2024 has been released. As is tradition, today is Tuesday; it just happens to be the last day of 2024. Download link: https://cdn.openorbiter.space/orbiter-releases/Orbiter-2024.zip Almost 25 years ago, the first version of Orbiter, briefly known as “Orbit” was...

For all the Orbinauts celebrating this time of year, have a very special one, and may the probe bless your flights for 2024!

This affects only the Orbiter mirror and any other services attached to orbiter-radio.co.uk. It does not impact Orbiter-Forum or the Addon Repository herein. Hi folks, I'm replacing some of the hardware powering the Orbiter mirror I run; you should not experience any downtime, but the IP of...

Ahoy there Orbinauts, You can now link your Discord account, should you have one, to your Orbiter-Forum account! By the way, did you know that we have an official Orbiter-Forum discord server? Check it out! So, why would you want to link your two accounts together? Well, this allows for a...

Greetings, Orbinauts. The forums now provide you the ability to ignore things. Don't want to see a particular thread in the recent feed? Ignore it! Don't want to see anything from an entire forum? Ignore it! You can ignore a forum from the forum view page, by pressing "Ignore forum": An...

Hello Orbinauts, It's now been a little over a month since we completed the migration of Addons over from OHM into the forum itself. In the intervening time, we've had chance to reflect on our approach to this migration, and our handling of developer content since, and we've been looking at the...

Hi folks, The old Orbiter download area of OrbitHangar is now effectively this category here on OF; https://www.orbiter-forum.com/resources/categories/orbiter-download.15/

Hi folks, Just a quick update to draw your attention to our updated terms of service, with the update being centred around how the service handles OHM content and Orbiter add-on content going forward. The update itself is the following; You can as always find our full terms and rules at...

Hi folks - quick one as part of some of the other changes we're making to how the site works, certain assets and user-uploaded content will no longer serve from the OF server directly, but will instead come from the CDN which is backed by Digital Ocean Spaces. Doing this allows us to have...

Hello Orbinauts and developers alike. In recent weeks, I sent Martin a DM here asking several questions about the use of the "Orbiter" name for open-source continuations of the project, but haven't had an answer back (which I did expect). As a result, to facilitate future releases of the...

Hello Orbinauts, As you will undoubtedly know, there is an ongoing conflict in Ukraine at the moment. While we are primarily a Space Flight forum, and our discussions are Orbiter-based, we do have an off-topic section and discussion of other topics is welcome; however, discussion of topics...

Hello Orbinauts! Just a short note to say that we have added a custom profile field to make it possible for you to, should you choose to, set up and display your preferred pronouns here on Orbiter-Forum. You'll find the new option in your account details section, and you can see from my post...

Hello, fellow orbinauts! I'm sure like me you're very excited to see that Orbiter is now an Open Source project, and we know that a few people have already begun to contribute to the Orbiter project in meaningful ways. To mark this out here on the forum, similar to the user group we hand out...

So, recently I bought a Nissan Micra K11 from the year 2000, with a dodgy clutch, as a car to keep in the garage and do various bits of maintenance and repair work on. Mainly, she needs a clutch, but there are some other considerably overdue maintenance items as well. I'll add more pictures as...

My fellow Orbinauts, As a result of the increasing costs of operating the forum and its ancillary services, we have looked far and wide for additional support to maintain our service to you. We've long prided ourselves on being advert-free since the beginning, but this has left a sizable gap in...

Ladies and gentlemen, it's with great pleasure I bring you the news of our newest red team member; IronRain joins us over here at Club Red. Thanks in no small part to his efforts behind the scenes working us towards both the XenForo migration of the board and the new improved OHM projects...

Hello again Orbinauts! I thought now would be a good time to share with you some of the work that's been happening behind the scenes as I prepare to deploy what will ultimately become the replacement for the ageing OrbitHangar Mods site. Firstly, this hasn't been an entirely solo affair...

It's been a little while in the making, but I'm finally ready to announce our migration to XenForo, as discussed at length in my last major announcement. I've pulled everything needed for the migration into a Trello board, which you may peruse here to see how things are going...
