Hi,
I've been simming with Orbiter since 2004 but just joined this forum.
I like to say off the bat that I like complex cockpits. Both in MSFS and Orbiter: flicking switches, checklists, getting the systems to respond etc. is my thing. Of course I'm aware that Orbiter is a "space flight sim" and not so much a "space ship sim", which is fine 'cause it is great at what it does! (and for free!)
Yet, I look for add-ons which simulate more complex systems. I'm aware of:
- the Deltaglider has a number of simulated systems, though modeled fairly simple
- the Dragonfly has a complex sim of the fuel cells/oxygen system, but it is not a space ship you can take from A to B (plus it has some bugs and hasn't been updated)
- NASSP for the Apollo fans
- Ultimate Space Shuttle - not bad but far from the complete thing
So the question is: is anyone aware of add-ons (or developing them) that have at least as much complexity as any of the above? The scarier, the better
