Radio Free Orbiter Sound Pack

File Description:
A sound addon for the ORBITER Space Simulator which provides some original neo-classical music for those long journeys to other worlds.... Definitely just an experiment (albeit an expensive one, in terms of file size and download times), exploring the opportunity for original compositions to be enjoyed concurrently with DanSteph's FABULOUS OrbiterSound 2.1a or later. Certainly a self-serving, narcissistic effort to make myself available for further musical development along the ORBITER line (LOL!). Read the enclosed .txt file for installation tips.

Face On Mars

File Description:
In July, 1976, Viking Orbiter 1 was acquiring images of the Cydonia region of Mars as part of the search for potential landing sites for Viking Lander 2. On 25 July, 1976, it photographed a region of buttes and mesas along the escarpment that separates heavily cratered highlands to the south from low lying, relatively crater-free, lowland plains to the north. Among the hills was one that, to the Viking investigators scrutinizing the images for likely landing sites, resembled a face.

Atlas V 500 Series Boosters fifth set

File Description:
This is the fifth and final component of the Atlas V project. This adds the files to be able to use the 500 series Medium Shroud boosters, and the Atlas V 55502 Heavy Lift Vehicle. You need the other four parts of the addon to use this one, AtlasV401_01.zip, AtlasV400_02.zip, AtlasV500_01.zip and AtlasV500_02.zip. All the possible variants have their own scenario at SLC 41, so you can launch your own payloads with a minimum of Scenario file editing. Enjoy

Early Saturns Version 1

File Description:
The Early Saturns project accurately simulates the early saturn boosters that predated the Saturn IB and Saturn V. These interim vehicles taught the US how to build superboosters and helped make the moonlandings possible. Included: Saturn C-1 two stage booster Saturn SIC three stage Saturn SIC/boilerplate with a test Apollo CSM (similar to block one, recovery systems not implemented in this release) Launch Complex 37A and B, update to Launch Complex 34 REQUIRES VINKAS MULTISTAGE DLL! NASSP SATURN IB REQUIRED IF YOU WISH TO USE THE SIB ON THESE PADS.

Shuttle Abort Runways

File Description:
The shuttle abort runways are located all over the world, to land the shuttle in case of an engine failure. In this Orbiter add-on, all the runways have lights and approach lights. Also, each runways has its own VOR beacons, one for each direction. There is also a pdf file of NASA with detailed abort procedures. A recommended download is Atlantis MOD 1.4, that can simulate engine failures! You can find it also on Avsim. This is my second upload of the abort runways, I forgot to include Cape Canaveral, sorry.

Launch Pad Lights

File Description:
Eye candy only! - adds "spotlights" to launch pads 39B(standard Orbiter version), LC-41 and Kourou ELA-3. Includes 3 invisible spacecraft with custom exhaust texture to resemble light beams and 3 scenarios(one per pad). Cut-and-paste the vessel entry from the provided scenarios into your desired launch scenario - or just check out the light show.** Uses 512 x 512 .dds - may not be compatible with lower-spec graphic cards ** requires Vinka's "spacecraft2.dll" (not included) ** scenarios 2 and 3 require "Launch Complex 40 & 41" add-on from Orbithangar.com and "Centre Spatial Guyana" from Avsim.com

Mars Atmosphere Enhancement for Orbiter

File Description:
This is a cloud texture and new Mars.Cfg (must be renamed) to give Mars dynamic clouds. While Mars does not have any water for clouds, it is known that severe dust storms on the planet can send dust into the atmosphere for days. The original Mars in Orbiter does not have any dust clouds, but this enhancement simulates the dust in the atmosphere. Since they are dynamic, you can have clear skys one day, and a dust cloud passing overhead the next. When you land or launch from Mars, you now get the feeling that you are passing through an "atmosphere". It's a pretty neat view.

Rendezvous MFD 050621

File Description:
Rendezvous MFD allows you to perform a precise approach to rendezvous with minimum fuel usage. With one burn, you can end up right at the center of the target after travelling tens of kilometers (in Earth orbit at least). It uses Hill's equations (also known as Clohessy-Wiltshire equations) to generate a desired approach profile based only on the interceptor's present position and a desired time-to-intercept. Varying the time to intercept allows you to choose a variety of arrival directions including RBar and VBar (assuming they are practical from the interceptor's position). The MFD includes an auto-burn feature. It has been renamed from the early-beta release, when it was called Approach MFD. REQUIRES ORBITER 2005! Be sure to read the installation instructions!

Surveyor Lunar Lander 1.0

File Description:
The Surveyor program consisted of seven unmanned lunar missions that were launched between May 1966 and January 1968. Five of these spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, 6, and 7 successfully soft-landed on the lunar surface. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of lunar surface landings, the Surveyor missions obtained lunar and cislunar photographs and both scientific and technological information needed for the Apollo manned landing program. Four spacecraft, Surveyor 1, 3, 5, and 6, returned data from selected mare sites from Apollo program support, and Surveyor 7 provided data from a contrasting rugged highland region. The Orbiter version brings to you the historical flight of this unmanned lunar landing probe. The flight plan should bring you within 10,000 km of the Lunar surface. With one mid course correction, and enough practice, you can land it the moon.
