Nice video of the Apollo 11 landing film side by side with LRO Imagery http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/apollo/apollo11_video.html

The spin function in Blender is quite useful for creating spacecraft, rocket motor bells, wheels, tires and much much more. This tutorial demonstrates how to make a basic space capsule shape using spin, then exporting it to Orbiter using Vlad's Blender / Orbiter mesh import exporter. If...

Ok, well, almost! When I saw this I thought whoa! someone made a real DG! Dyke Delta Airplane - YouTube

Per Wikipedia: Falcon Heavy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 'Red Dragon' Mars Mission As of July 2011, NASA Ames Research Center is developing a concept for a low-cost Mars mission that would utilize Falcon Heavy as the launch vehicle and trans-Martian injection vehicle, and the Dragon...

Are there any addon's out there that give the shuttle a different hud? Is it possible to replace the 'stock' hud in the Big O? Been getting spoiled on that killer (very accurate) HUD on F-Sim. If redefining the hud isn't doable... is certainly should be... :lol:

Ok, I know this sounds like an advertisement, but it's not really. Has anyone out there seen this iPhone / iPod Touch / iPad app? http://www.f-sim.com/test2/ It's phenomenal. Since it's just geared for landing, it's all atmospheric simulation, and it's better (graphically, atmospheric...

So, now that Apple has lifted the veil on the iPad, what do you think? Personally, I think it will do quite well. It was just a matter of time before the intuitive interface for the iPhone/iPod Touch worked it's way into the computer arena, and now it has (more or less) with the iPad. I think...

This is totally amazing, I'm watching live on Fox News a story about a 6 year old boy who climbed inside his father's home made Mylar balloon. It's a saucer shaped balloon with a gondola of sorts attached to the bottom of the balloon. At this point, authorities are clearing airspace around...

I installed it as per instructions, activated the module, yet, nothing seems different at all, F7 does nothing. Any ideas?

Not really a new release, but I never posted it to Orbit Hanger until now. Basically, a real working clock for Orbiter. There was no coding involved, I basically used the rotation functions built into vinka's Spacecraft DLL. OrbiClock

Thanks to really good isp, and still working non-atmospheric controls, I was able to get the Me-163 into orbit. The whole trip took about 20 minutes real time, and, once there, and noticing the ability to set the orientation of the craft, I decided to head out to the moon. I setup the burn...

Has anyone read anything about the astronauts being able to keep a souvenir moon rock or moon dust or something to that effect? Seems to me, if I traveled all the way to the moon, I'd want a souvenir. Not anything that wouldn't be examined by scientists when it got back, but something that, at...

Ok, everyone was commenting that it would be neat to have an actual 'hangable' clock as opposed to one that you can orbit, so I did some modifications, and this one doesn't fly, but stands on the ground. You can place it with a scenario editor, and then adjust the Z value of the landing points...

I've been a clock maker in Second Life for the past two years, making and selling virtual analog and digital clocks. I decided just for the fun of it to release a working analog clock for orbiter! Comments and suggestions welcome (see the doc file for info)...

I'm in the process of making a model. I'm wondering about the best way to go about texturing it. I'm using anima8or and UVMapper, but it would be exceedingly difficult to create one texture for then entire model, yet if I create each component separately, (or just the major parts), how would I...

Ok, it's been a LONG time... and I forget, but a mesh I'm making in anim8or is coming out way huge in orbiter. What's the trick? The obvious one of sizing it down in anim8or isn't working, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks. -----Post Added 4/8/2008 at 11 : 18 : 21-----...

Just popped in, been gone a while, so long that when I visited the forum, it was closed down! Found this, just popped in to say hello to all, and mention that I was at the recent open house at NASA's plumbrook station. First open house in 10 years, and 3rd time ever. I had a great time, was...
