Orbiter

[BigJimW]

Hi guys,

This is my second post here, and I was brought here because I am currently using Universe Todays news feed on my website ( http://www.moonport.org )

I noticed that there are no threads mentioning the Orbiter Space Flight Simulator ( http://www.orbitersim.com ), so I figure I'd mention it before someone else does. :P

Does anyone here use this simulator? I find the learning curve is very steep, and when you finally successfully launch a probe to another planet, you will get a real deep appriciation of the work and math involved. It's not easy.

Hope to hear from from other Orbiternauts here.

BigJimW- Thanks for mentioning this. I'd seen it out there, but don't have "SoftWindows" for my Mac to run it. One of the few times I feel left out of the PC community.

I think someone ran Orbiter on a MAC using some sort of Windows Emulator. Not sure what it was he used, but from what I was told, it ran pretty smoothly.



What is to come.
