I getting more and more tempted :worried:

Perhaps if I can master the interplanetary travel, I could simulate a real life trip...like going to visit the ex-Inlaws *-)

Same here - in fact I have a version from 2003. I know I had quite a few addons and I am wondering if those can be transfered or do I have to download newer versions?

it is very light on hardware,

I have a p4 3.4 2 gig
Nvidia 7600gs and I get smooth animation with very little tearing.

and I think that if you have a older version just delete it and do a clean install. update your addons. I just installed orbiter sound... which gives you some decent sound effects... very easy and user friendly

Ther earlier version or Orbiter I ran on my old PC which ran FS 9 quite jerkily

Orbiter was smooth on that.

two good links for orbiter add-on's.

http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=d this has several good ones including one that will give you sound. it is supported by a lot of other addons.


http://www.dougsorbiterpage.com/

these are some of the best add on space craft for orbiter in my opinion. they simulate a lot of systems that are missing from the default Delta flyer, and they have simulated crew. you will need the Universal Mmu 2.0 (UMmu) add-on from the first site also.
