Re: NEW ORBITER VERSION 031105!! - Anyone interested?

The particle effects Orbiter version (www.orbitersim.com) has been eagerly awaited by Orbiter nuts (me;)) for months and is finally out as 031105.

For those of you with confused looks...Orbiter is a realistic flight simulator for spacecraft...you can fly Mars Direct to the moon, once the boys making it are done that is...also, I'd recommend Mars, although it's tougher to navigate it.  You can fly the shuttle to the International Space Station.  The focus is on realism...so don't think it's gonna be easy!!

Long ago I used to spend hours in the MS Space Simulator.

Here's another topic that was started to discuss the Orbiter simulation.

The site is still active.  http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/forum.html

Has anyone currently active in the forum tested the program?
