I thought I remembered a posting where someone was looking for a working link to "Go Play In Space". Did they find what they were after or still need a copy?

Good day, folks. I'm looking for a mapping tool where I can plug in the Surface and/or Elevation tiles of Mars and visually see where they are. Any ideas?

Here is an odd one. I set up a mission to go from Mars to Ceres using the Frelon. I initially set time for today, and launch the mission. After doing what set up I need to do using IMFD and TransX2, I let the mission run in real time in the background. If I get lazy or take a nap, I will often...

When I want to change the "Now" date in the scenario editor, it enters the date in UTC. I have to manually change it to EST. How do I change the configuration of the scenario editor to use EST?

Can anyone advise on how to obtain MOLA data to build an accurate Mars surface? In particular, I'm interested in the Erebus Montes area but it is the general extraction of height data that I want to discuss?

I want to check out OpenOrbiter but can't seem to find the current download location for it. Can someone point the way for me please?

I know we have discussed this before. After a harddrive failure, I reinstalled a completely new Orbiter. On attempting to start orbiter-ng, there is no video tab showing in Launchpad. If I try to start any scenario, Orbiter just drops out. Orbiter log shows nothing. Reinstalled vcredist_x64.exe...

Hi, guys. A first for me. Hard drive pooched. Of course, in my old age, I did not back up my current installation. Since I primarily use Orbiter 2016 and D3D9, could someone please remind me what basic files and dependencies I need to download and reinstall?

Sometimes I just can't help myself. Here's a view of a SpaceX launch and landing you don't often get to see:

For the first time since 1986, Canada is going to the World Cup!

What do I use to read .mkr files and possibly modify them?

This is a new one on me. Opened my Orbiter with orbiter_ng.exe and got this: Re-opening with orbiter.exe comes up normal. Here is the orbiter.log:

I know, an oldie but a goodie. Written for 2005, I believe, but Kulch has not updated it for 2016 as yet. Has any one managed to adapt it for use in 2016? And if so what changes are required?

Normally, the standard Map MFD is just fine for me. However, I started experimenting and decided to try to use upgraded imagery in the Map MFD. I downloaded and installed the Hi-res Map images (for Mars in this case). When I go back to check the Map MFD in the program, there is no change. Just...

I must be getting old. To me it's getting to be what is the point of watching launches from Kourou? The last few that I have seen have been at night with the launcher going through cloud after a couple of thousand meters and the video going straight to graphics after only a couple of minutes...

I have noticed on recent images of the Spacex Dragon capsule that they have been painting a blue ISS icon beside the door for each visit of the capsule to the ISS. I have been unable to locate a decent image of the icon alone to use on capsule liveries. Can anyone point me in the right...

Here is a challenge and one which challenges my very limited abilities in orbital calculation. I plan a solar orbit at 1.6 AU from the sun. There will be six co-orbital spacecraft in this orbit at equidistant points beginning at the first point of Ares. What will be, or how will I determine...
