Are there any MFDs which allow for better attitude control holding? Currently, with stock instrumentation, we can command our ship to hold attitude at Normal, Anti-Normal, Pro-grade and Retrograde, but there is no command to hold attitude at Radial or Anti-Radial, which is highly important...

If I have a booster with a set amount of Delta-V, say, 11,000m/s. And I want to figure out how much mass I can put on the top of it and still have the 9,000m/s of Delta-V required to get into orbit. What is the exact mathematical equation to figure this out. There doesn't seem to be a single...

What is a preferable launch heading to launch into the orbit of the International Space Station and when (on my MFD's orbit track view) should I actually lift off? I'm using the Delta-Glider IV. My friend and I were previously using a launch heading of 42 degrees but I'm not sure whether to...

So if you play Orbiter all the time, you probably are really familiar with this music... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0MYzkBiJn5Y What do you think? Do you like this song being in Orbiter?

I am about to launch another mission -- but I was wondering how to get to the "Ground Observer" camera view so I could watch it from the ground. It doesn't seem to exist in this scenario (AMSO) -- as I can only see "Global Frame" "Target Relative" and "Absolute Direction"/

I am currently in orbit around the moon with the lunar module in NASSP, but I can only see the exterior view and the regular Orbiter MFDs. I can't go "inside" the LM at all and use the panels.

Basically the title covers it. I wanted to know if NASSP has been updated to have the other missions and scenarios that are currently broken in my version. All I have is Apollo 8 and Apollo 7.

So is there anyone out there with NASSP that would like to write up a big, detailed flight plan and a bunch of procedures for a mission and then make it into a PDF like NASA? I think it would be fun.

I'm playing NASSP -- the Apollo 8 Flight Plan Scenario (All the others beside Apollo 7 are broken...) and I noticed that the game keeps flipping all the switches for me. Why is it doing this and how can I get it to stop so I can perform the tasks in the checklist?

If I have a spacecraft ready for launch and I want to go to Mars, what would you recommend is a nice MJD date setting for the proper launch window. And bonus help would be if you could give a nice IMFD configuration once I get to orbit for the transfer. Thank you for any help in advance.

I love the Delta-Glider IV because of the way it has a fully interactive instrument panel with life support and systems. It is very fun and adds a lot to the game. But I would like to request something similar that takes off using a rocket and splashes down in the ocean -- like a capsule...

I checked out the DG IV and I'm really interested in learning how to fly it, knowing what each system does and just checking the whole thing over like a pilot and understanding it. I am very interested in how reentry works and what each thing on the panels means and does, primarily. If...

I am looking for something similar to NASSP. Extremely complicated with a fully interactive instrument panel. Preferably something that stands alone and does not require other add-ons (which sometimes break my game). Anybody know of any?

One of the items on the checklist is to "Slew Delta-V indicator to +1586.8"/ I see the Delta-v/Range display but the problem is that it won't go past 1,000! And no matter what I do, I can't figure out what in the world the checklist is talking about. It won't let me skip items and move on so I...

I downloaded this SpaceX addon that says it supports UMMU. I downloaded UMMU and UCGO specifically for it, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do a crew egress and spacewalk. Here is the link to the addon I got. SpaceX launch vehicles and Dragon Anybody have a solution? ----------...

I just downloaded the SpaceX add-on and it totally gave me the idea to film a SpaceX launch cinematic. However, my MSI Afterburner doesn't work on Orbiter. Does anyone know of any screen recorders I can download for free that will allow me to make a good quality Orbiter movie? (Also, I'm not...

I think the Orbiter community mostly consists of adults, right? Do we have any astronauts in the community or anybody that has actually flown in space for tourism?

So basically I'd like to get a few add-ons that are Earth Orbit based rockets where the capsule splashes back down into the ocean like Apollo. Preferably with auto pilot so I can browse the internet while the launch takes its sweet time. :) Anyway. Does anyone have any suggestions of add-ons of...

I downloaded a better res Earth texture from OrbiterHangar.com and tried to unzip it into my orbiter folder. Then I ran a scenario from AMSO when I was already in Earth orbit and the planet doesn't look any different... Here is what I did... Earth&Cloud Mod I downloaded that addon. Then went...

I have already had my account for a while, but I haven't been into orbiter as much as I have started getting into it now. Anyway, I've been migrating less away from Kerbal Space Program while I wait for the EVAs to get released and so now I'm taking the time to learn the ropes with orbiter...
