Hi all simulator lovers. I am here because it is my intention to share all the unforgettable experiences I have had with one of the best simulators I have run into in my life.  That is "Orbiter Space Flight Simulator" I cannot post links here, but a fast search will lead you to this magnificent master piece of software by Dr. Martin Schweiger. Which, besides all the superb graphics, and realistic orbital mechanics simulation, is FREEWARE!!! Orbiter has been available since the year 2000. It has created a quite impressive community along the years. From plain forums of fans, developers and frustrated astronauts, ( like myself,) to Virtual Space Agencies and Interplanetary Confederations. I will not hide my intention of getting web hosting to share all my experiences. Which include, of course. STS flight Misions for the best Virtual Space Agency in the web: SimNASA. Spacewalks at our Skylab Columbia Space Station. A trip to the moon and recreations of historical flights of the Apolo program. And other, not so realistic adventures to Jupiter on the USS Enterprise. Best regards, Joe R. Mexico

[quote=snlildude87,Jul 16 2005, 02:44 PM] Why can't you post any links? Well, there's a note right here saying: "Note: Do not post links, watch the language. DO NOT ask us to read your post! We read posts as we get to them." I just did not want to break the rules.  Thanks for posting the link and the pictures. If any of you decide to give this software a try, please do not hesitate and either mail me or post here. I will be glad to help. As with most simulators there are two ways to play, the easy (unrealistic,) and the hard way (realistic.) A minimum idea of orbital mechanics will be necessary. I can provide a whole bunch of links to resources in the web. Now, if you like pictures, look at this one. It is a spacewalk we performed for SimNASA a month or so ago. My very good friend Jason H on the right and myself on the left.  Ups! I reduced the picture to be 590 pixels wide. I hope it was enough. If more reduction were needed, please let me know. Hope you all like it Joe

I tried orbiter once, it was quite a while ago, back in 2002 I think. I liked Flight simes and was a big fan of the MS Flight Sim series, I downloaded this, and never really got into it, I quietly deleted it from my hard drive and I never really thought about it until I saw this, I might re download it and give it another whirl, who knows it may have become a lot better. If you like this, you may like MS Flight Sim, or perhaps even freelancer. Give them a try if you see them around.

Well. Here's another picture. I couldn't stop my launch of the discovery last week.  So, while the real STS-114 is in orbit now. Mine has already landed. Look at it in its way down.  Hosted by xs.toEnjoy!!! Joe Mexico

Learn To Fly
Flight Simulator X acts as a potential teaching tool for wannabe pilot (17) QUOTE The biggest difference between a video game and a simulator? Realism. Video games are
meant to entertain, after all. Simulators, on the other hand, are usually educational tools. A few
games, however, manage to do a bit of both. Flight Simulator X is a good example: it’s not
only fun, you just might learn something. The vast scope of this Microsoft game will overwhelm at
first, especially if you’ve never played a flight simulator before. This latest version in
the venerable 25-year-old franchise packs a dizzying array of features: there are mor....

F19 Stealth Fighter
The Best Flight Sim Of All Time! PMPL (12) I don't think many people know about this great game. Well it was released in 1988 (yes you read
correctly) by Micrprose inc. I'm sure this game was state-of-the-art when it came out as most
games are. The graphics aren't too bad, better then I expected but the audio is a problem and
can be very irratating. Imagine your PC speaker, if you have one, bleeping out the same high pitch
sqeel for a few minutes - not very pleasent. Missions are good with four difficulty levels - green
oponents which will never attack you, regular oponents which will make the occassi....

some ideas of what to build to start off with... If you full-fill their needs then thats one

a very interesting game.....
