Hate to bring the subject up ( and open up a can of worm), but in lue of the the ever decreasing add-on developments for Orbiter, the departure of many great past add-on developers (and Forum members) and the slow death of the US manned space program there doesn't seem to be a lot to look forward to anymore in regards to Orbiter and it's future.
Sure, we still have robotic missions ( eventhough they don't seem to be developed for Orbiter anymore either) and the Russian Space program.
But in light of realistic Space flight missions ( not Deltaglider etc) there doesn't seem to be anything out there anymore except for re-living the past glory days of Human Space Flight.
I find myself less and less checking the Forum and Orbiter Hanger since it all seems to be the same old junk ( XR2 skins, futuristic rockets without real purpose etc etc).
Orbiter was a great program for the last few years but it seems like we're definatively on the downslope of the Bell curve..........................
Any thoughts out there ????????????????
