Returning after a long, long time away from Orbiter. Last used Orbiter 2010.
Just installed 2016 today for the first time with D3D9 Client and XR sounds. Downloading the HD textures as I type this. Ran the 2016 "welcome" demo and it looks very nice and smooth with every visual setting maxed out in the Visual and Advanced tabs.
Anyway, just wanted to know if a few add-ons that I frequently used in 2010 work in 2016:
> Dan's Delta Glider VI and UCGO 3.0
and...
> A user-configurable booster system based on and looking very similar to Russia's old Energia booster system that was to be used for their space shuttle - I don't remember what it was called or who uploaded it, but it worked and looked great and was very easy to set up, and even furnished custom mounting data for the Delta Glider IV.
and finally...
> The Carl Sagan Space Center add on.
It's been years since I last used Orbiter and I'm basically approaching this as a complete noob again, so I need some help getting re-established if that's ok. Also, if there are any new alternatives to the booster system mentioned above with similar user-friendliness that anyone can recommend.
...and if there's any tips or anything else I should be aware of.
Sorry for these questions but I'm just anxious to get started again!
Thanks! :thumbup:
EDIT: Oh yeah, the DeltaIV/booster combination is still in my avatar, lol
