http://www.mars-one.com/ I'm kind of surprised this hasn't been done yet, unless I'm searching in the wrong place. This is probably (in my opinion) the most promising of serious attempts to send humans to Mars. Does this exist as an addon already? Is it in development? Are there legal reasons...

Has anyone made this scenario, or at least a recreation using default models? I would love to jump to a space station in EVA at an altitude where the atmosphere starts to affect movement, getting to a ship in time to re-enter unharmed. I know it's an unrealistic scene, but the concept is still...

This is one of the only things I have not been able to find a key command for: Toggling the orbital maneuvering thrusters. There are certain scenarios in both default and addon packages (example: "DG-S ready for takeoff") where the thrusters are turned off, and only control surfaces can be used...

I've found several mercury addons for Orbiter, but NONE of the ones I could find work with Orbiter 2010. Anyone else have any luck in finding any?

I've been trying to install the Ummu2 from Dan's Orbiter page. Since the installer is meant for 2006, it says to manually install by creating a new folder with a text document title Orbiter.exe and extract into it. However, the installer doesn't recognize the text file or the folder it's in...

The soyuz spacecrafts used today are covered in a black thermal shielding fabric to protect them. While the fabric was always a part of soyuz since the beginning, they weren't always black. Earlier versions (as compared below) had a greenish thermal shield. I read a suggestion that it's black...

The soyuz is one of my favorite real-world manned spacecrafts. I've seen a good deal of soyuz-related addons, but the whole family is not there. I already have the 7k series and TMA, but I can't find any else. I'm particularly interested in finding the T and TM series. Anyone know if these are...

I've noticed that Orbiter has a surprising lack of StarCraft-themed addons, according to my searches. Does anyone know links to any at all, and I'm just searching in the wrong spot, or do they not exist?

This may sound like some crazy idea, and I'm not even sure if it's possible without a game crash, but has anyone ever successfully made two planets with atmospheres close enough where one can jump planets without ever truly being in space? Would such a feat be possible?

I've been messing around the past few days trying to see how low to the surface of non-atmospheric bodies I can get the periapsis (lowest point of orbit). The best I've done is 20 m. high in sustained orbit over the moon. Anyone else gotten closer than this? I love watching my own shadow as my...

I have tried and failed multiple times in attempting to install seemingly very basic and simple addons. I've installed every addon that it requests also be installed for it to run, but still nothing. They usually don't say how to install as it seems to be assumed everyone knows that already, and...

I have Orbiter 2006, and I've noticed a strange bug in the game. When I'm motionless on the ground in any kind of ship, even ones with no engines, and I choose to fast-forward 1000x or more, I instantly find myself spinning around in deep space at incredable speed. Why does this happen, how does...

I'm looking for space stations or large ships that have hangars built into them. I'm also looking for these hangars to have docking ports so smaller ships in the hangar stay in place. Does anyone know any good addons like this?
