«ORBITER is a realistic space simulation using proper physics for the modelling of planetary motion, gravitational fields, free space and atmospheric flight etc. As such, it is more challenging to master than an arcade game - you should at least have some basic idea about mechanics and planetary motion to get the most from it.
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 two minimum installation files will include the «Base» and «Textures» packages. Additional Earth, Moon, Mars etc... texture files and patches are also available.
