It provides engine noises, ambient sounds in the cabin, radio chatter and other sounds including mp3 playlists. The default version of Orbiter has no sound, however a popular add-on called "OrbiterSound" is available.
#ORBITER ADDONS PATCH#
From patch 060929 onwards, Orbiter has supported TrackIR, which allows the simulator to track the head-movements of the player and adjust the view accordingly. The addition of a virtual cockpit also allows the player to freely look around from the perspective of the pilot. These allow the player to use the mouse to interact with the panels, and allows more complex systems and instruments that are customized for each ship. The simulator also supports customized control panels and instruments, including 3D virtual cockpits and 2D instrument panels. Each features several modes of operation, with all commands given via the keyboard or mouse. The traditional simulated control interface in Orbiter consists of two Multi-function displays and a Head-Up Display. The position of the planets in the solar system is calculated by the VSOP87 solution, the Earth-Moon system is simulated by the ELP2000 model.
#ORBITER ADDONS FREE#
Orbiter was developed as a realistic simulator, with accurately modeled Planetary motion, gravitation effects, free space and atmospheric flight. The Delta Glider in low Venusian orbit, showing the 3D Virtual Cockpit, including Multi-functional displays (MFDs) and the Head-up Display (HUD) This mode can also display labels on the celestial bodies in the solar system at certain coordinates on their surface for indicating cities, historical markers, geological formations, and other interesting sites. The planetarium mode can also display labels indicating the location and identity of objects in the solar system, such as planets, moons, or vessels, that appear within a certain proximity based on their type. The simulator also includes a planetarium mode that allows ecliptic and celestial grids to be overlaid onto the star map, along with labels of the constellations and other celestial markers. Although Orbiter contains a database of over 100,000 stars, these are for display purposes only and interstellar travel is currently not possible in the simulator.

Dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets are not included in the solar system included with the simulator but exist as add-ons. The solar system presented in Orbiter consists of the sun, the eight planets and their major moons. The user can also attempt to build a space station in orbit. Docking and attachment systems allow the user to simulate docking with a space station or other spacecraft and rendezvous with and retrieval of satellite.

Orbital, sub-orbital, and interplanetary travel are all supported. A spacecraft's engines are defined only by the amount of thrust they put out and amount of fuel they use, allowing anything from solar sails to conventional rocket engines to futuristic nuclear fission and fusion drives to be simulated. The simulator is realistic enough to re-enact historical space flights, however the ability to fly fictional ships allows the player to reach areas of the solar system that cannot be reached by manned spaceflight at the present time. Orbiter allows users to explore the solar system on a number of spacecraft: both realistic, such as the Space Shuttle Atlantis and fictional, such as the "Delta-Glider." The developer Martin Schweiger has included fictional spacecraft to allow for easier flights for less experienced users.
