Hi, I have Orbiter 2006 installed on an older laptop and have found a bizarre problem that I've never had before. The ctrl+alt+arrow key combination to move positions in a virtual cockpit (tried with stock DG and AMSO VCs) isn't working. I've had previous installs of Orbiter 2006 on this same...

I've been spending a good amount of time on AMSO lately (could it be I'm finally getting a clue on using IMFD!?!) but I'm a little baffled by something. I've been trying to follow the historical timelines of the flights for the major events when I can. Sometimes things just don't coincide...

I've been messing around with IMFD on and off for a while, tried a bunch of tutorials, read the "full manual", watched playbacks, etc. When I follow a tutorial, generally I have no problem. I think I understand the concepts and the basics of what does what, but when I try to use it on one of my...

Whenever I'm on the ground on Earth or in LEO and view the standard Map MFD in Orbiter 2010 with the moon targeted, it always shows the Moon's orbit projection as a straight line across the map. Shouldn't it be a "wavy line" projection like most other orbits? I don't recall it looking like this...

I'm trying to follow an AMSO/IMFD tutorial "From the Earth to the Moon", which I realize was written for older versions of Orbiter, AMSO, and IMFD than what I'm using but I would think that it's basically still valid (I hope). I'm using Orbiter 2010. This is my first attempt at doing anything...

Hi, this is hopefully an easy question but I've been trying out the DGIV in Orbiter 2010, and the 2D panel doesn't fit all the way across my screen. It's like it's shrunk down to occupy the middle 1/3rd of the screen. I have a 1920x1200 screen. I at first was thinking maybe I need to mess with...

Hi, I'm returning to Orbiter after a bit of a hiatus, been using the DG getting used to the MFDs and doing some manual flights into LEO (a bit sloppy but it's working), docking with ISS, couple of Moon transfers. I felt like trying something different, so I downloaded Francis Drake's Orion CEV...

I Recently completed my first Earth to Mars flight with TransX, I followed a tutorial (don't recall whose at the moment). I followed the directions and set up my escape and cruise plans, but what surprised me is the initial orbit and Earth escape trajectory. I kind of expected to orient more or...

Don't know what I'm doing wrong, I opened the sock DG "Cape Canaveral" scenario and used the scenario editor to change the date from 2001 to today, changed nothing else and saved it. When I unpause or do anything else the DG and Shuttle-A on the ground next to it fly straight up in the air all...

I'm getting a little ahead of myself with this one, still very early in my "Orbinaut training" but since I've successfully done Earth-Moon transfers with the stock Transfer MFD I thought I'd try an Earth - Mars transfer. I was following the advice in the Orbiter manual section 13.10, page 70...

In my still very early stages of Orbiter use, I've learned that Earth's minimum stable orbit altitude and velocity is in the neighborhood of 200km and 7800 m/s. Not necessarily etched in stone but close to that. I was just wondering, is there a table or chart or anything that gives similar info...

Hi All, first post here. Just getting started with Orbiter, I've been following Bruce Irving's "Go Play in Space" as my training manual. I've most recently completed Chapter 4, which is a tutorial for launching the DG into LEO and setting up a lunar transfer, landing at Brighton Beach. I've...
