    Installation Scenarios Path

    Thanks guys! I have already set up a Junction for this, but the config method is exactly what I'm looking for as I'd prefer to have things as clean as possible. Giving that a try now. ---------- Post added at 04:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ---------- Working like a charm...

    Installation Scenarios Path

    Is there any way to change the path of the Scenarios folder that Orbiter is looking for? I'd like to place it on a different drive than the Orbiter executable. Has anyone ever done this? Is there a config file that would specify the location? Thanks, Brass

    Ares I-X Updates

    Something can definitely be seen coming off the upper stage shortly before seperation (@ 2:02 on the Youtube video posted in this thread). It looks like 1 or 2 pieces about the size of a quarter...

    MS Flightsim staff canned

    Shocked I just read this news today, and I must say it's sobering. MSFS was the very first experience I had with computers and videogames as a child in the 80s. The Flight Sim community was the first place I ever made a forum post, and there is probably no single program I've spent more time...

    Kill-rot toggle

    Is there a way to toggle the Kill Rotation autopilot so that it stays on until I toggle it off? I like to use kill-rot to make space flight seem more like atmospheric flight when I do detailed maneuvers and also in combination with H-level to dampen manual inputs. Its frustrating when I am...

    Thrust-assisted fast orbit

    Continuous thrust (albeit small thrust) vehicles are already being considered as a means to to reduce the time required for space travel (at a certain point time is more valuable than fuel). So imagine this orbit as just the way you park your spacecraft of the future. As far we know you can...

    Thrust-assisted fast orbit

    Remember guys that I don't want to do this for the purpose of going faster (although that's a nice plus), but rather to maintain an Earth-like environment on a spaceship/station. With a few small changes to the orbiter autopilot, this would be possible. First, the "horizon level" feature...

    Flight Question Stock DG unstable in orbit

    I'm a little confused by your last post. Your attitude with respect to the horizon should and will change over time unless the period of your rotation matches exactly the period of your orbit (a feat nearly accomplished by the Moon). Now, even if this is the case, the gravity gradient...

    Thrust-assisted fast orbit

    Are there any add-on craft or modified autopilot abilities that allow for this? Specifically, I want to obtain a circular LEO with a velocity higher than the Earth's gravity alone will allow by using thrust towards the Earth's center to assist in the acceleration required. More...
