Hi there,
I wanted to find out who has given Orbiter Simulator a try? Quite a touch simulator to get the understanding of. I tried it many years back, but I gave up with it, and then only a year later I was looking for some sort of space orbiting game. There was space station something I had used ten years ago available via Gamespot. But that was quite useless as the company went bankrupt or whatever. I have only managed to crudely understand basic short distance docking. I have used the Shuttle, ISS, Skylab, and the Module(s) the authentic one that was tested in orbit in March 1969. And the long gone constellation project, concept one. MPCV I just enjoy the simulator, listening to some tracks from the Enterprise soundtrack, and basic manuvering of crafts in low Earth orbit. There are stars available to view, and the constellations can be viewed. Cygnus is currently my favourite as there is one Exoplanet there. There are plenty of addons, how ever a lot of science fiction, or just improved upgrades. Overall for anyone who has used Flight Simulator, if one knows what they are doing and has a good understanding or Orbital mechanics and mathematics they should do well. Fuel can be edited to take a trip to the moon or Mars. I can't land properly on the moon, or even take an orbital flight. It is hard stuff. The module is very difficult to orbit in compared to the old shuttle. |
