Are there any futuristic orbital stations that work with Orbiter 2016? I’m trying to populate my world with things that I can dock to and travel between.

So, if I’m not mistaken, the Orbiter Base Maker doesn’t work with Orbiter 2016. Is there a version that does work with it or something similar?

When I first tried Orbiter, I felt a bit put off by the lack of near future bases and stations. It felt like a flight simulator with just a few airports. I downloaded XR2, which has been my spaceship of choice ever since, but it seems pretty odd for it and ISS to exist in the same world. Future...

Welcome!

The lack of trust is the issue here. Russia and China are considered the main villains by most countries so there's always a lot of suspicion. I believe that every Russian space project was, at one point or another, seen as potentially dangerous. Nothing new here. Hunting a spy satellite would...

A very warm welcome to you!

Looks great! Definitely a great addition to my ship’s computer :)

That’s an amazing idea! I’m still a complete beginner, but I’m trying to learn the ropes and stations would definitely be the best way to start. I’ve been toying with the scenario editor and placed a Deepstar in Earth’s orbit, and another one around Mars. This gives me some nice targets, even...

I don’t get the chance to do so. When I’m clicking “new” in the vessel menu, it locks these values, so I always end up with odd parameters that I can’t change. When I’m changing the reference body, it copies the odd Ecc and creates something that can’t be called an orbit - it doesn’t have an...

You're right, I was dumb. Thanks!

Using scenario editor, I can't place any vessel in stable orbit around a body other than Earth. Whenever I'm trying to set the semi-major axis to something that makes sense, it always makes it negative, with huge eccentricity, so that there is no apoapsis. It won't let me set eccentricity lower...

Any news regarding either that scenario editor or the cargo add-on? It's really great but sadly doesn't work in 2016.

They do show up, but it looks like they're all crashing the game immediately. I suppose that old addons just don't want to be used anymore ;)

Since there are hardly any pre-made stations I can download for Orbiter 2016, I thought that I might use the scenario editor and building block mods such as this: https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=a5eb0698-b86a-472d-9395-e43fb16fa897 The problem is, their parts don't show up in the...

I’d love to know that too.

It’s great, thanks!

That would be an absolute game-changer! Best of luck with your exam :thumbup:

Which addons would you recommend if I'd like to populate my space with some near-future stations, and perhaps bases? I'd love to have some more targets to visit in my XR2! Also, do I need to create new scenarios (if so, how?) to have them in my world?

Thank you all, you're awesome! I've just completed my first full ISS mission in XR2, carrying 11t of LOX and some fuel to the base and returning safely to Cape Canaveral. My only question is, is there a way to transfer fuel/LOX from XR2 to ISS, not the other way around? For immersion purposes I...

I watched quite a few YT videos before trying Orbiter, most with all perturbations turned on, and I was successful in getting to ISS before. The main problem is that MFDs can be extremely unreliable. I can get to about 0.3 inclination difference by the time I get to orbit, and I get it to 0.00...
