I found this on the Natural History Magazine website. It's an old article, but new to me. http://www.naturalhistorymag.com/picks-from-the-past/171931/virtual-universe It looks interesting, but I haven't tried it yet. Here's the download link. http://www.haydenplanetarium.org/universe/partiview

I think the consensus here is "Trust, but verify". What I like about it is that if you find an inaccuracy, you can fix it. I did it myself on one occasion and it gave me a nice sense of community and empowerment.

Did you hear about the noob who exposed his ignorance on the Orbiter forum? Several helpful people answered all his questions!

So you think that this is a joke, do you? Well you'll be laughing out of the other side of your faces when my army of orgone powered anti gravity robots conquers the world! Seriously, I heard about this from a guy who's actually trying to build one! :lol:

This will free us from fossil fuels forever! Check this out! http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Joe_Cell

That's no crater...its a power pill!

I downloaded a bunch of EliteRu music a while ago. I didn't realize it's the same game as Ffed3d. Great stuff for orbiting! I'm going to have to check this thing out. The Viper sounds cool, but I want to get back to hauling my Asp. :lol: I had a Commodore 64 which I gave to my daughter when I...

I think that the most significant development that is likely to occur by that time is the merging of humans with computers. We're learning how to alter our genome, place microchips inside of human cells, naobots inside our bloodstream, read human thoughts via non-intrusive interfaces and have...

The first space game that I loved was Frontier Elite 2. Although I discovered it in a bargain bin after my Commodore 64 and Amiga days, it was originally released for the Amiga. I have Frontier First Encounters as well. Since they're now freeware this link should be ok to post here. Haven't...

Well, I couldn't find the new button on the panel. I actually downloaded it again! :lol: I did find a way to cut off the turbo engine sound however, just rename the file to turbine.wav.x! Seriously though, I find the sound to be obnoxious, so I ditched it. I'd also like to second the vote for a...

I've just installed the latest version of this beautiful bird with the newest dll. I've experienced that the engine sound is playing even with the engines off. This happens to me even with a fresh Orbiter 060929p1 and OrbiterSound 3.5 install. Is this happening to anyone else? I'm using XP home...

Thanks for the complement! I hope to make the next version much better.

        This folder contains some objects to enhance the Shuttle Landing Facility area near runway 33. There is a nearly complete version of the Landing Aids Control Building, housings for the VASI approach lights (they no longer appear to be floating in mid-air), and a rough draft of the...

Well, it's not unexpected. the hangar height is 5.2 and the supporting post is 10. It looks right in the 06 version. This means that I'll have to wait until the new version of Orbiter comes out before I release this. Oh well, I'm sure I won't have it finished before Tuesday anyway. Thanks a lot...

Well I tried to get the latest beta, but it's a 6 hr download on my dialup and it stopped about 2/3 of the way through. I pasted the simple hangar into a clean 060929p1 and got the same issue. I'm downloading drivers even as I type. I'll install them tomorrow night. Here's the two foreground...

At first I thought this was a joke about those Google ads, "Buy space shuttles, new and used" that pop up as part of my search results. Anyway, think of the simpit possibilities!:lol:

I haven't tried the beta. My Canaveral.cfg is a rather long work in progress, combining stuff from others' work as well as my own. I'll be happy to do as you ask but I'll be away from home for a couple of days. Again thank you very much for your interest, and thanks to everyone else as well. I...

Well that's puzzling! I'm going to try downloading the latest drivers for my Radeon 9550. Thank you very much for your reply. edit: (I'm at work) I'll try a clean install as well.

Thanks, but I can get the hangar object to appear at the correct height by trial and error. It's the shadow of the object that isn't displayed correctly. As I said, I think its an Orbiter bug. If I upload this to OH then I want it to display correctly on others' machines. I have to learn how to...

Sure, but there are no meshes here, just standard objects, hangar2, block and tank. At this position a hangar must be at a height of -5.2 to appear to be sitting on the ground. I haven't learned to make meshes yet, but I borrowed and scaled a ceiling from Harmsway's KSC Environment, scaled it...
