Considering how Orbiter is such a simple program to install, and doesn't write to the registry or scatter files all over your system; Just keep multiple installs going. I have done that with 2006-p1, and intend to keep it installed for a while while I migrate over to 2010. I'm sure some add-ons won't work. And other will be updated and improved over time. There's just so much you can do with this simulator that keeping multiple installs is really a trivial matter.

I've got installs from 900mb all the way to 6gb. With terabyte hard disks, I don't see a problem!

Does anybody know what add-ons are compatable with orbiter 2010? Or will we have to write all new add-ons?

Can't you smell my T levels?
Signing the thanks with my left and right hand. It's not only about the quality of end-user software, but also about the people involved :)

I just extracted & installed it (give me a good ol' .ZIP file any day ;)), and everything appears to work perfectly!

Great job! :cheers:

Hehe, with the exception of Orbiter sound and the super highres earth, moon, and mars - I don't have any other addons installed. I'm enjoying flying the default delta glider and shuttle again. :)

I know what you mean. It's somehow like playing Orbiter for the first time all over again.

Awesome, Martin! Looking great!

It occurs to me that while add-on makers and other contributors get thanked pretty regularly, you only get a thank-you with each release. And it's been a while.

Here, I'll try to make up for lost time:

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

That should come to one thank you per quarter, plus a few extra to account for compound interest....

;)

Seriously, thank you and good work.
