It is a long time now that I run the Orbiter simulation. I really love this sim. It is so flexible. And Dr Martins was very generous to make it free for all to use.
I remember the first time I found the Orbiter site. I was google for a better sim than microsoft space sim. When it come with the hit "Orbiter space sim, a FREE space sim" I was very sceptic about the "free" portion of the sentence. I wait for the page to download. ( I had a dailup connection at that time.)I went to the download section, expected at any time to be notified to get my credit card ready. And sure, beyond my believe, it was truly free. I painstakinly download the files. And when everything was setup, my jaw drop to the floor. I could not believe my eyes.
But as good as Orbiter is, it would soon become very boring to run.
And that is where the add on people plays a important role. Without all the people out there creating add ons for Orbiter, it would be very boring very soon.
I realized that it take a lot of time and a good deal of frustation to make these add ons. But there efforts is noticed by me all the time. ALL of the add ons, how small, is very important for Orbiter. I am not going to fall in a trap to classify a particular add on as the best. They ALL are the best.
So allow me to say thanks to all the add on developers who create something special for us.
Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!:speakcool:
By the way, a big Thanks to Dr Martin too.....
