    Skylab1973 v2.0, and Skylab1980 -- Released at Last!

    Take some time off, you deserve it! Just for sake of discussion, what would be involved in making an undamaged skylab? 1) On the model, you have to copy/paste the undamaged solar panel, mirror it, and place it on the other side. Right? 2) Then in the code, you comment out the section that...

    Skylab1973 v2.0, and Skylab1980 -- Released at Last!

    Is there any way to launch an undamaged skylab with both solar panels working? thanks.

    Space Station Modules?

    RokGeetar's second link has all of that. Mustard has done great work for the Orbiter community. You can very nearly build the ISS from scratch with his modules. Kudos to him.

    How do I start programming for Linux?

    Moonwalker, have you ever tried to get three monitors working simultaneously in any linux distro? I use Ubuntu and have two video cards in my primary machine. One is an ATI Radeon 2600 dual head (so, two monitors) and the other card is an ATI Rage XL PCI, for a total of three monitors. In...

    New Feature Suggestion: Docking Snap Distance

    Martin, I'd like to suggest a new feature. During docking, when the two craft are a certain minimum distance from each other, they "snap" together and are docked. I'd like to have a control on the Launch Pad dialog box that would let me set that distance, and reduce it to something much...

    Brainstorming Welcome!

    I like this idea! Switch back to the booster? Try this, let the Orion go (and it will crash or whatever) and just concentrate on the booster. Try to fly it back. I've never managed to make it back to Florida, let alone land on a runway. Also, I've never been able to bring Greg Burch's...

    space combat simulator

    Thought I would pass this on. It's kind of neat. It's a free simulator by the guy who made x-plane http://www.x-plane.com/SpaceCombat.html

    landing problems

    If possible, make a recording of one of your landing attempts and post it here. As Enjo said, be sure to use the HSI. It allows you to line up the runway even when it's outside your field of view. The tendency in all flight simulators is to want to turn in from your baseline leg too soon...

    Module Comet updating [avalaible]

    I love all of your addons Mustard. I hope that one day you can create a Photoshop tutorial because your textures are great.

    Orbiter Screenshot Thread

    Brad, I noticed in your image directory that there's a pic of a multi-skylab station. http://simnasa.org/pao/images/aesc6/aesc6-9.jpg Is that an available addon? thanks.

    The ISS de-orbit

    When was the last time that there were *no* humans at all in space, outside Earth's atmosphere? It must be before the launch of Mir. It would be very sad if we return to that time.

    Saturn Ib?

    Not just planned, it was built and several were launched. The Saturn Ib is a way of getting an Apollo CSM into LEO in those situations where you do not need to go all the way to the moon. It was used for testing Apollo hardware, for trips to Skylab, and for the Apollo/Soyuz launch. wiki...

    Saturn Ib?

    That sounds great. If it's half as good as his titans collection it'll be epic. cvel? Everything he's done in the past has been cvel. Doesn't get much easier than that. I've wanted to do that too. I haven't looked into it much. I think it'd be nice to have a working SkyLab option in...

    Saturn Ib?

    Is there a Saturn Ib addon anywhere? I searched Orbithangar but didn't find one. As a side note, I'm not sure if anyone is aware, but this forum requires at least four words in a search string, so it's not possible to search for "Saturn Ib" If that's intentional, cool. But it seems odd to me.

    M6 forum - so what IS wrong???

    And someone in the other thread suggested a hacker who was recently banned from the orbiter forum may be the person that deleted the database.

    Animator vs. Gmax

    Thanks for all the responses. I did a couple of addons in gmax (but they're pretty bad so I wont release them) and I had the following three problems: 1. I found it very difficult to do up-close detail work. When I zoomed in on an object it would disappear. I think the real problem here is...

    Animator vs. Gmax

    Anyone who has used both Animator and Gmax, what were your impressions of each? I have some experience with gmax. Should I stick with it or should I switch to what everyone else in the Orbiter community uses? thanks.
