i am wondering what should i do for my first addon,a vessel?,a surface base?
i want to do a big interstellar/intergalactic addon but i dont think im quite ready for that. so what is the closest thing i can do to that without getting to advanced?

Try with base. You'll familiarize yourself with meshes and textures.

thanks for the suggestion,Loru:) the one problem with it is that i dont see how i can make a base with planets,stars and galaxys. i suppose i could do it but putting it on a planet in our solar system would look pretty weird

Start with a base here on Earth (or the moon or Mars), in other words, take small steps. Crawl before walk, walk before running. :thumbup:

Don't get discouraged and keep trying. Above all, remember to do the work to please yourself, you'll be your own worst critic.

While not in the spirit of what you are wanting to do.. I believe orbiter needs a better way to manage the amount of MFD's I got going. Real-life aircraft are actually much more simplistic in how you navigate through the avionics. Orbiter has a lot of tedium when working with the MFD's.
