    Space Shuttle models

    Can anyone post some link to nice/detailed models of the orbiter? Nothing to build on your own but rather already assembled. I know Bandai was selling a very nice stack (and very expensive too) but I guess it is not available anymore. I’ve checked the NASA online shop ones but they look more...

    Problem External MFD and FPS

    I am experiencing significant FPS drop when opening external MFDs. If 2 MFDs are opened at the same time my FPS drop down to even less than 10, depending on how large I make them. This happens regardless of which MFD I use. Running scenarios with SSU (high-res textures) and all Virtual Cockpit...

    Question About Reshade

    I have recently installed and played a bit with this addon (Reshade) and its settings. So far I was not able to get something satisfactory, mainly due to my lack of knowledge on how to use the different variables available with this tool. I also noticed a drop in FPS when Reshade is active (I...

    Request TacView for Orbiter

    https://www.tacview.net/ This is a great tool for flight sims and IMO it would be of great help for both suborbital and orbital flights. Any idea if it could be customized for use with Orbiter or if something similar could be developed for us here? I know we have a Google Earth plugin...

    General Question Space Shuttle books

    What are the best books on the Space Shuttle available in your opinion? I refer here to photography books possibly including some tech/hystoric data of the STS program (no novels). I' ve seen a few on the website which look interesting like Dennis Jenkins: "Space Shuttle: The History of the...

    Project SSU HI RES Textures

    Starting to work on a new set of high resolution textures for SSU 5.0 Textures resolution will be 8192x8192 dpi which is 4 times higher than the default ones. These are the first shots of the front section of the Orbiter P.S. I know some picky guy will notice the "tear" below the R2...

    Problem Microtextures for D3D9

    I have installed the microtextures provided by Jarmonik here http://users.kymp.net/p501474a/Orbiter/Orbiter.html I tried some moon scenarios but this is what happens: As soon as the scenario starts I get a weird sound from my PC (I believe it comes from the graphic card that "kicks off") and...

    Problem SSU radar use

    I am having problems with the use of Radar navigation for proximity ops and rendezvous. I ran the related scenario (ISS radar test) and followed the FDF RNDZ checklist to setup the KU antenna and all the controls/switches on panels A6U/A1U/A2/R13 (except REL NAV SPEC33 which is not implemented I...

    Question SSU Landing Sites

    Where does SSU look for when it comes to select a landing site? I had a look at the files to see if there is any kind of editable landing site table (like the one used for the Shuttle Fleet) but could not find anything. I am asking this since Zaragoza doesn't look good when selected on GPC...

    Problem SSU HUD problem

    I have a strange problem with the HUD: in the default SSU entry scenarios selecting the HUD switch ON allows the HUD to pop-up below Mach 2.5. On other scenarios though the HUD does not appear. Correct landing site and RWY selected, OPS304 running, both Air Data Probes have been deployed, FLT...

    Problem DRD9 Antialiasing setting

    I have installed what I believe is the latest version (D3D9Client2016-R2) in two different Orbiter2016 installs. The problem is in one of them I am unable to use the "Antialias" function in the Video/advanced menu, the related button does not work and also looks disabled. On the second Orbiter...

    Project Space Shuttle Photoreal

    I am working on a total remake of the Shuttle Fleet textures. The idea is to bring the Shuttle to a higher level then the current shuttles available in Orbiter (stock Atlantis, SF and SSU) and in order to do so I had to re-create the textures from scratch using as main source hi res pictures of...

    Problem Modifying textures

    I am using the SSU textures with the Shuttle Fleet since I like them better then the dafault ones. The only thing I really don't like is that the SSU textures show the "burnt" signs of the reentry plasma on the side of the fusolage and other parts of the orbiter hull which looks bad in all...

    General Question Orbiter Earth atmosphere

    To all the orbinauts using Orbiter 2010P1 and D3D9 GC: I know it may sound a little academic and maybe difficult to answer due to the mutliple variables involved (real on orbit videos/ pictures reliabilty, type of monitor, monitor colour settings, graphic card, etc..) but I would like to...
