    General Question Are there such things as Orbiter virtual agencies?

    Just a quick question. I know that there are virtual airlines for those who use flight sims, so I am wondering if there is a counter-world available for those who fly the Orbiter? Just wondering.... Thank you in advance.

    General Question How do I make my own scenario?

    I think I misspoke. I did do a SAVE from the Editor, and it put my NEW scenario into a list at the top of the Scenario window in Orbiter, under the name I used to do the SAVE. So I am sorry, but I did do that already. Thank you

    Flight Question How do you translate your ship in Orbit?

    I can certainly see that now...and I have started the procedure over and over in order to learn the process by heart. I am also doing some reading to make sure I not only understand the terminology, but the reasons behind the processes I am doing in order to dock an earth based vehicle with an...

    Flight Question How do you translate your ship in Orbit?

    I finally got RInc to 0.00. I went back and made sure to wait until the ship was aligned with the AN and went right into translation and burned up or down, depending on how the RInc number responded and I finally got 0.00. I think I will be practicing that for a long time, but I finally got it...

    Flight Question How do you translate your ship in Orbit?

    Thank you for this explanation, however, I am still too new to this program to understand what you mean. Is it possible that you could link me to a .pdf which explains this, or if you could step me through it? Better yet, is this process explained in the DGIV manual? Thank you again for the help.

    Flight Question How do you translate your ship in Orbit?

    I was watching the awesome video by Tex "DGIV to ISS Video Tutorial Redux" and while attempting to line up the orbits of the DGIV and the ISS, it was mentioned, by Tex in the tutorial, that he had to translate the DGIV a bit to get the RInc exactly to "0.00". I understand everything up to the...

    General Question Is it possible to edit the Quicksave folder?

    Thank you. I had assumed that the Quicksave folder would be in the Scenario folder, but for some reason, when I originally looked I did not see it. I just went back and there it was. I set up a new sub-folder in the Quicksave folder and put the "special" saves I did not want to lose into it...

    General Question Is it possible to edit the Quicksave folder?

    I have been accumulating quite a few scenarios in my Quicksave folder. Some of them I do not want, while others I would like to keep. This brings me to my question: Where does Orbiter save the Quicksave scenarios? Normally a program will store your saved games/scenarios in a seperate folder...

    General Question How do I set the initial vessel location in a scenario?

    I have noticed in various tutorial videos that the spacecraft in the video always starts off on a runway. When I go to the required scenario in my program and run the scenario, I always seem to start up out in the grass/ in a field, somewhere away from the runway. Is there a setting to make...
