Orbiter Space Flight Simulator v.060929 - Windows

Download added on Sat, 11 Nov 2006 | orbiter060929_base.zip

Orbiter free space flight simulator for Windows 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista and 7. ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.

But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background. Good starting points are JPL's Basics of Space Flight, and R. Braeunig's Rocket & Space Technology.

Realistic physics. Planetary motion, gravitation effects, free space and atmospheric flight are accurately modelled.
You can land your ship at a space port on a planet surface, or dock to an orbital station.
High resolution planetary maps provide some nice visual effects.
Configurable environment. Users can add planets, space ships and space stations to the existing universe, or design a completely new solar system from scratch. The Orbiter Software Development Kit contains libraries and sample C++ code for addon developers who want to write plugins.

jianqingTue, 10 Nov 2009 15:01:04 GMT: I hope i am commenting on the right file! This sim is great! But you need to figure out how to make it work! Create a folder called Orbiter 2006 somewhere in your computer such as program files or E:/ or D:/, etc. Then put all of the files downloaded into the Orbiter 2006 folder. If you simply save the file, it won't work because it is in the zip! This software can be fun! Many addons availible at orbithanger.com! You can even download a Cessna or a Boeing 737 to fly!
