Hi all, the main orbiter forum is down at the moment so i thought I would register and post here.  I used to be big
into orbiter, but with a new job and such I got away form it for about a year or more.  Some of you may remember me.

Well I am back now.  I just bought a copy of Ron Monsen's excelent Eagle Lander 3D V2.  That got me re-interested in
starting up with orbiter again.  Since i have been away for a long time I have no clue where to get the latest and
greatest addons.  I want to start out with some moon missions.  NASSP 5 is out I heard.  I also need the newest
sound pack, launch towers for NASSP and the shuttle fleet (I remember I had a real detailed one before my HD
crash).  And any essentials like tools and such.  I seem to remember somone had a site with all the newest and it
was kept up to date well.  Can any point me to it, or a good place to start?  One or two sites would be easier than a
bunch, know what I mean.

Anyway, it is good to be back.

Andrew

Welcome back andrew, yes I remember you ;)

I'm sorry I'm illiterate about other's add-on I'm too busy with my hown,
I know there is a new version of NASSP here: http://spacebarjoe.free.fr/NASSP5.zip
and a fix here: (not sure if it's the last version)  http://spacebarjoe.free.fr/NASSP5_FIX1.zip

If by any chance you tried already my DGII there is a DGIII going that is nice also
with plenty of new feature, smoke, skin support, EVA, AE35 antenna, more anim part etc etc
Here: http://orbiter.dansteph.com/index.php?disp=dgIII

and image here:

skin support , eva support



panel :



Have fun, the new version of Orbiter is very nice and the next one is really
promising (see screenshot section on martin's site)

Well, where can we start.

http://www.avsim.net - this site has many orbiter downloads, but has fallen in to disuse a little.

http://www.orbithanger.com - great site, lot's of downloads.

http://www.eharm.net/shop/freeware/orbiter/orbiter.html - Harmsway's site. Contains links to NASSP 5 and
enhancements and links to the latest shuttles. Everything you wanted.

http://orbiter.dansteph.com - this site. hosted by the mythical Dan. Available here is the latest OrbiterSound and the
Deltaglider III beta.

http://www.orbithangar.com/atlas/ - good site. not many people tend to refer to this site. But it is still a brilliant site.
Many add-ons and the links section is one of the best i know.

http://www.orbinauts.dansteph.com/ - Courtesy of Dan. Not a download site, but still a brilliant idea, that has
worked. It has a world map that Orbinauts can place their names on. Check it out.

http://www.orbitersim.com - Official Orbiter home.

There are more. But these are probably the best. Feel free to complain if i have missed any.

Hope i helped.

Dammit Dan, you got there first. :)

Dan i looked just now at the who's online feature and your name was on twice. Now i have an excuse for that. The Krytom username has two users, but yours has only one, so what is going on?

User recognition is based on IP, I think I hit the "24H IP change" of my ADSL in the midle...

Thanks for the wecom back Dan, guys.  Thanks for the help also.  I just tried a shuttle mission and realized I have
forgotten most of the key commands.  I need to brush up in orbital manuvers befroe trying a moon shot.

Great work on the new DG Dan.  The last time I talked with you I was testing out the passenger functions you had
added.  It looks like it has come a long way since then.  Keep up the good work.
