Post Description

Orbiter 2010 is a realtime interactive space flight simulator. The first and best of its kind.

Orbiter 2010 has been released on june the 8th 2010. Orbiter 2010 is the final product of martin schweizers orbiter 2006 and is added with sceneric improvements over the standard version of 2006.

Orbiter 2010 lets you take control over various existing spacecraft like the international space station, space shuttle atlantis, various probes like the hubble and some fictional cargo lifters like the shuttle-a and the deltaglider IV.

Orbiter 2010 adds in addition to orbiter 2006 the integrated ummu mod adding a crew and failures to the spacecraft.

Orbiter is a simulation state of the solar system and its 8 planets from mercury to neptune. And most of these planets have their larger moons added to their system. You can travel anywhere. But gravity is a key role. A ignition to mars may result that you wonder out in space and never get there. Mars is not staying still in the sky so you"ll need to be able to read the panels on your spacecraft in order to get there.

The orbiter game is not for the faint of heart. The game is hard in physics and it uses almost any existing space physic that is used in modern spaceflight today.

so its not a fictional orbiter and it needs some basic understandings about space, newtonian gravity, air physics, angular velocity and many other physics to get your head around. Transx and longtitude latitude and velocity factors are required to atleast get somewhere outside of earth. Youd be surprized how hard things can be so it might take some effort to get the hang of it.

orbiter is a real time simulation. Which would mean it would take months with a real craft to get to another planet. Luckily theirs is a time warp that can multiply time up to 100.000 times. So getting to neptune is possible within a hour of gameplay.

Orbiter is added with many new addons every day. Orbiter itself is very basic and takes less disk space on your hard drive. Orbiters main installation will make you bored after a while. 

the site of orbithangar takes you to a grand database of addons.
Addons are extremely easy to install in orbiter. They mostly consist of a few main directories which you should only overwrite in addition rewrite certain docs or other hard efforts are therefore not required. 

Most mods on this site are compatible with orbiter 2006 so theirfore half of them would probably not work on this newer version as im experiencing myself.

LET OP!

Het is zoals bovenaan beschreven staat echt een moeilijk spel zeker als je niet bekend bent met vlieg simulators en gerelateerde fenomenen. ALs je na 100x proberen nog steeds neerstort is dat dus niet zo gek en het kost echt tijd om het een beetje door te krijgen.

Hoe het spel werkt staat in de nfo en het word bestand beschreven. Het is heel uitgebreid en er zit ook de officiele key manual bij zodat je weet hoe alles werkt. Het is echt aan te raden deze te lezen anders weet je bijna niet wat je doet en lukt het je misschien alleen maar om van de aarde af te vliegen. Dat is echter ook leuk om te proberen. Het is maar een paar honderd mb groot dus wat mij betreft de moeite waard.

Veel plezier met uw verkenning van het zonnestelsel en vergeet geen zuurstof mee aan boord te nemen [sarcasm]

Happy leeching
