Big Hello from The Netherlands

[SilverStar]

Hello everyone,

I am Fonz van der Linden from the Netherlands.
As a former Life support sergeant (24 years) I have developed an interest in flight simulators.
At the moment I work as an Internet Marketer and I'm busy to save money for a commercial space trip with http://xcormissions.com/
A part of the Astronaut (light) training is a flight with the L39 Albatros, to get used to G-forces. So in FSX I train with a L39 Albatros add-on.
Now I was kinda wondering if there will be a Xcor Lynx Mark II simulation for the Orbiter in the near future?
This space ship will be used for the commercial space flights...
Or is someone already busy to develop this space sim add-on for Orbiter?

Thanks in advance for the responses to my thread. :thumbup:

Hello & welcome, SilverStar!

If someone in the Orbiter community (an add-on developer) decides to make an add-on for the craft, then yes it will happen. If not, then there will not be an add-on sorry. (I'm not an add-on developer, so I cannot help).

Hi SilverStar, welcome to Orbiter Forum!

 

[SilverStar]

Well, when the commercial spaceflights starts to happen as a reality...
Then I'm pretty sure an Orbiter add-on developer will get inspired,
and the Lynx Mark II add-on will become a reality as well.
It's just a matter of time. The demand for this add-on is yet not strong enough, though.
:blink:

There is a spaceship 2 and WhiteKnight 2 somewhere, I can't find it at the moment but I know it exists.

Welcome to the forums by the way!

 

[SilverStar]

Aha, the Spaceship 2 and WhiteKnight 2 are from Virgin Galactic (Richard Branson)
The Lynx Mark II is from Xcor. Several space agencies are busy with this spaceship to get it launched. And this Lynx is the one I'm most interested in......
I'll wait before the add-on of this ship will be available here, no worries..

:hello:

I don't expect that anyone is working on the XCOR Lynx per se. However, there are add-ons that might let you get the approximate experience of the Lynx.

For starters, many add-ons by Greg Burch are very reminiscent of the Lynx in appearance:

However, your best bet may be to try the XR-1:

It is supposed to represent a science fiction orbital (and beyond) spaceplane. However, XR vessels are very customizable. We on the forum can help you to tweak your configuration file to get the approximate performance of the Lynx. The XR series as an advantage as the systems modeling is very good.

Welkom op het Orbiter-Forum! Zoals al eerder gezegd zijn er nog geen Lynx add-ons beschikbaar, maar ik denk ook dat er meer interesse voor gaat komen zodra de echte vluchten plaats gaan vinden.

Welke versie van FSX heb je? De gewone of de Steam editie? Ik zit zelf ook vaak in FSX, wie weet kunnen we eens een multiplayer vlucht doen

Welcome on the Orbiter-Forum! As mentioned earlier, there are no Lynx add-ons available, but I also think someone will make one as soon as the real flights are going to take place.

What version of FSX do you have? The normal or the Steam edition? I'm a (more then) regular FSX user myself, so maybe we could do a multiplayer flight sometime

Tell me about it.

I have been doing Orbiter for 4 years and I have a backlog of 4-5 GB of Add-Ons that I haven't even tried yet.

:lol:

Sounds good to me, I use the FSX version. But I have to tell you, I'm only flying with Cessna 172 and L39 Albatros. And still learning how to land properly. Most of the landing are good, but sometimes...........:blush:

 

[TachyonDriver]

...any landing you can walk away from is a good one!
