Hello. So I said I will send link here because i played this game for half a year and its great. It helps u to understand many things in solar system... This sim is absolutely free and u can get to every planet in solar system also to ISS. There are many addons like advanced level 10 earth moon mars textures appolo mission

U can download sim from http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/download.html
U can download addons from http://www.orbithangar.com/

I had a "Space Station Simulator" once, but the computer I had at the time wouldn't play it - Now I've lost it/thrown it away.

Played it... damn... i didn't learn how to use nav comp so I was trying to get to planets "blindly" with unlimited fuel of course.... 2 hours to get to Jupiter(not because flying there was so long... because i missed it hundreds of times!)!

I never could be bothered to work out how to fly any craft, so I either flew Mercury missions which flew themselves, or just got an ICBM out and flew it round and round the launchpad before I got bored and crashed.

Good fun though.

I didn't even knew that there is actual space simulators available. This could be interesting.

Tho I had a horrible nightmare about aliens last night and now I'm afraid of outer space.

ooo!! its allll around you!!!!!!!!

Will this sim work on Neptune?

I know, Lame. :P I'm downloading now! I'm very curious. Thanks for the tip.

Well, seems to be pretty interesting game. But as offtopic, the Apollo 13th (was it) was a very good movie

LOL damn u are kidding . Im not good to understand that type english words that are used to explanation orbiter and i get it ... Im still not good but i can get to planets by MFD(multi functional displays) tansx or to HST/ISS. It takes a while but if u are good at english u can learn it fast. Everyone have to use timewarp and I suggest AMSO misson pack... I think its impossible to go visual because its hard to make it with MFD. +- few sec full power= +- few 10000km to trajectory nearest point to planet. The best goal of me is orbiting demos (mars moon) with 1km/h because its 1 km big i suggest to visit moons like europa titan ...

It does work on Neptune, but is much better when exploring Uranus

I think I tried orbiting one of the smaller moons like that, probably Deimos. It didn't work so well.

Awesome sim, though. I wasted many many hours on it last year and had a lot of fun learning how to use the navigation computer.

...

Yeah I know, but I was to lazy to do it :P. Btw. yes... i was able to use basic functions of the nav computer but not something like auto-tracing, auto-whatever... You know, some of this autopilot stuff(if there is any :razz. Still it was fun flying to some planets(... oh... the flight to the sun and it's terrifing gravity ^^).

my words ... but im not sure if it was deimos or phobos just i know i used only linear rcs to get to orbit I would play orbiter but its not the game what u can play forever It needs some updates and im there. Really nice times when i discovered it because it was one of my main dreams to orbiting earth ... And that sim made it, now i go for it in real :P

some older version of it had no surface on the sun so you could get arbitrarily close to its centre of mass at ridiculous speeds

Nice, thank you for the tip. Although I can't help but wonder why they go all through that hassle to take off and don't just hit a barrier

I tried to get to the Saturnus, but I kinda managed to keep going past it. Also I have no sound.

For the last time Tristan, stay away from mianus!

Sadly there isn't anything I can find called Hisanus or Heranus , though the latter might be a real name!?, so I can't take this any further (as it were).

Aha - I can resort to the alternative name for the primordial God of the Greeks. Ouranus... Message follows:


I don't want to explore Uranus, and you don't want to explore Mianus, but I sometimes think people have got evil plans for Ouranus.

That wasn't worth the wait was it...
