Hope this is in the proper area. If not, feel free to move it. I've noticed an interesting and unfortunate repeating occurrence with the DGIV. When landing on the lunar and martian surfaces, I always crash into what seems to be an invisible planetary surface that is usually ~1-2 km above the...

I seriously doubt anyone remembers me. It has probably been three years since I've done anything. Since I've been gone I have earned my pilots license (Irrelevant, I just want to brag) Anyway, I just wanted to know which addons I should get to make orbiter 2010 as much fun as possible. By fun...

I just downloaded STS payloads and followed all of the instalation instructions and I have the required addons downloaded, but every time I try to load any scenario it always crashes and a window pops up asking me if I want to report this error to microsoft. I looked at the orbiter log and it...

When I use SSU, the auto pilot launches the shuttle into an orbit of about 73.58 degrees instead of the desired 74.51 degrees, is there any way that I can control the inclination that the AP launches the shuttle into? does this work with SSU? PEG Autopilot 070127. If not is there any...

Let's say that you were orbiting the moon or some other body with no atmosphere at a constant altitude of 5 Km. and due to an uneven distribution of mass the center of gravity of the body is 6Km. away from the center of the body (measured distance) If you orbited the body long enough for it to...

I have tried to play with this for a while now but it will not work, I downloaded LC39-EAFB 2006.3 Hi-Res and the scenarios that come with it will not work, on the orbiter log it says that the fss light mesh is missing, and when I try to put the files from Config/Earth/STS to Config/Earth/Base...

It would be cool if someone could make something like AMSO but fo the constellatin program. I know of the existing addons but they are not quite as good as AMSO was. What I am saying is I would like to see a realistic CLV,CTV,CEV,EDS,and some sort of lunar lander for landing on the moon like...
