Flight to the Moon tutorial (1/3)

[LemmingClub]

Bad tutorial. No word on how to set MFDs, no explanations, poor English, too much external views (really, you think anyone who is using this tutorial doesn't know what Orbiter and XR2 look like?), 4:3 aspect ratio. You should be sent to live on the Moon.

[IngoGallacher]

@LemmingClub Bad comment! You cannot try a flight to Moon if you don't even know how to change the MFD menues. This tutorial is not made for peoples that even don't know the basics of Orbiter. So, see you on the Moon if you can reach-it and come back alive. BTW, i bet you understand my english, but you dont know any word in my language, who is in advantage? :))

[killechief089]

how do u control it ?



[Bendarr2]

How did you make the determination that the moon was roughly 110 degrees? I didn't see it on your map mfd. The closest part was about 120 for a position.

[IngoGallacher]

@Bendarr2 When i started the flight i watched the right MFD where i had the orbital planes, but on the replay, at takeoff, i switched on the 3D cockpit to see the takeoff from this perspective.

[Alman556]

What simulator is this?

[IngoGallacher]

@Alman556 It's Orbiter free orbital simulator. You can download this from the link on my "featured" channel.

[twistedyogert]

@IngoGallacher does it work on mac computers?

[IngoGallacher]

@twistedyogert Unfortunately only on windows...

[alphon5e]

not as cool as Kerbal Space Program is it?

[ItalianTony86]

how do you install this into orbiter?

[buildercarmine]

How fast does the xr2 go because my xr5 the huge shuttle can go past mach 9

[AShadowbox]

what game is this?? it looks awesome!

[hiothezebra]

What would happen if you were to say...

Fly into the sun?

[SF1010]

Where can I download this vessel, please?

[IngoGallacher]

@SF1010 www_alteaaerospace.co_

[prosperomage]

@IngoGallacher -- Cool simulation.

Too bad it couldn't work in real life.

[Razorlvirus]

I hope they actually get a fully working virtual cockpit for the Altea Aerospace XR-2 and XR-5

[IngoGallacher]

@Razorlvirus Also! It will be a great achievement for these very well-designed ships.

[Armigo91]

What im wondering about is how to get that surface and atmosphere scenery.

[IngoGallacher]

@Armigo91 Try on orbithangar.co* and search "Realistic Earth Atmosphere", or something like... you will find a lot of add-ons ;)

[ned987]

can you use a joystic, similar to flight simulator

[IngoGallacher]

@ned987 Yes, i am using a joystick until i leave the atmosphere, then in space i am using the keyboard to control the RCS system.

[hughaldrich]

how do u start ur engines

[IngoGallacher]

@hughaldrich CTRL+ Numpad "+" throttle up, and "-" down.

[RecklessTornado]

@hughaldrich + main engines

0 for hover engines

both on numpad

[star4galaxy]

@hughaldrich you press the "on" button...

lol

[tomvm01]

were did you get that plane and the speeking voice?

[IngoGallacher]

@tomvm01 It's free to download at .dougsorbiterpage/com

[SkyyCaptainn]

Gotta love those Mach number calls when on SCRAM thrust. Mach 6 Mach 7 Mach 8 Mach 9...... Mach 21 just puts into perspective how fast this ship is accelerating tearing through the sky like a devil on fire.

[IngoGallacher]

@TheGuilherme1999

Good work! ;)

[OrmindoThePaladin]

I have a "little" question : Whenever you use hover/retro, nothing happens because you have to open thems manually. Is there a way to make this automatic, like in every Orbiter spaceship ? This is one of the most annoying thing in the Ravenstar&Vanguard.

[IngoGallacher]

@OrmindoThePaladin Yes, not once, i forgot to open retro/hover doors in critical phases of landings on Moon. I think an automatic open doors for this vehicles doesn't exist, you must be attentive to do this earlier to not have problems when you landing.

[OrmindoThePaladin]

@IngoGallacher Ach, that sucks. It's ok for realism, but if this is a futurist ship, the computer should do stuff itself (much like the DGIV). It's very bad for critical phases - I failed two dockings because of closed retro doors.

[Heartsimple]

Je suis assez déçu de cette première version en rapport aux commandes 3D qui ne sont actives... Sinon c'est un beau vaisseau mais il n'a pas à être dans Orbiter étant donné qu'il ne respect pas la notion de "simulation". J'ignore si sa version 2 "XR2 Ravenstar MK II" est disponible mais j'ai entendu dire que le cockpit 3D sera fonctionnnel, de plus il est vraiment beau!! Je ne le trouve nul part sur internet pour le moment donc si quelqu'un saurait où il est, ce serait gentil d'en faire part :)

[IngoGallacher]

@Heartsimple Oui, c'est un peu mal à l'aise en 3D de la cabine incomplète, mais passer sur cette question, sinon je pense que le vaisseau physique est plus réaliste que les autres. Désolé pour cette réponse traduit avec Google:) ne peut pas tout à fait raison, mon français est assez limité.

[Heartsimple]

@IngoGallacher Ah oui effectivement ce n'est pas traduit à la perfection mais ne t'en fais pas, l'avantage du français est que même si les phrase ne sont pas tournées dans le bon sens on arrive facilement à deviner ce qu'on cherche à dire. J'ai compris ce que tu as dit ne t'en fais pas ;-)

[Masterkoas]

what spacecraft is it called?

[Lazybum450]

Very nice tutorial, I think you should note now though, that this is made with the current released version of orbiter, and not the beta version, to avoid some confusion. Anyway, nice tutorial, Im sure I've learned something (I hope, couldn't actually fly to the moon >~> until now maybe.)

[IngoGallacher]

@TheGuilherme1999

Vhat is the problem? you cannot install the Ravenstar? Can you be more specific with your problem?

[NLonDS]

hi!,

thanks, this really helped me!!

one question... how do you get that coloured map??

[IngoGallacher]

Hello, you can find the coloured map of the Moon on the orbithangar site. There are a lot of usefull addon-s.

[NLonDS]

yeah, i know Orbithangar, but looked wrong... have it now!! thanks!!
