Ahh Orbiter.  Had it.  Didn't like it.  Dumped it.  For some reason I couldn't get my completely ficticious spaceship off the ground in one piece.

Thats why when you install it you look for Burt Rutans White knight and spaceship One, Add it on because its all free, and make a little bit of history at home.

its not an easy sim, its for the people who enjoy the work with it aspect, I loaded heaps of stuff and went to the moon, sling shot around it and came back, entered orbit, found the entry window and landed the flying brick, all in the same time as a sydney to London trip.

Its a space sim flight sim thats Totaly free, it installs into a folder, doesnt need to go into the opperating system, so when you dont want it any more you burn the folder to CD, so if you want to share it or try it again, you copy and paste it anywhere you have space ( Mind the pun ) and its that easy, I'll admit the spaceship thet comes with the orriginal part is trick to get the hang of, But the delight is in the add ons that other talented folks have made for it. Fire up Voyager and see the planets, its a fantastic Solar system jaunt. I have the Enterprise ( Picards ) and even though she doesnt have Warp drive, she is fun to fky to mars, or saturn thrusters only, but I havent checked out the new things for some time now.

Check it out, Its Freeware.  ;D
