Learn to fly through space in this simulator game!

It's an early Sunday morning and you've had a rough week. You want to just leave Earth for a while and take your hand at something a bit challenging. How about flying a spacecraft through the outer region of the world?

This is not a shooter game, it is a spacecraft simulator. What this means is that there is a pretty steep learning curve (hey, flying spaceships isn't for chimps you know) You will have differing objectives... launch a satelitte, rendezvous with the International Space Station or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.

Are you ready for Orbiter's realism?

In order to really excel in this game, you may need to do some additional reading to really understand how to fly spacecraft! (the ability to read separates man from chimp) One good place to start is JPL's Space Guide.

The realistic views and angles of the flight will be extraordinarily interesting and challenging. The most rewarding part of this game is what you learn and how much fun it is to learn how to fly spacecraft!

I am speechless after playing it as it is an amazing game. The game is just amazing and can not be described by words.

An absolutely amazing space simulation platform. More a simulator than a game, Orbiter requires knowledge of orbital mechanics to effective use the simulator. Many add on vehicles/scenarios created by the orbiter community. You can even create/define your own spacecraft and share it with the Orbiter community.

If you enjoy simulators you will love Orbiter. The graphics are top-notch, and the program is highly flexible. You can fly everything from historic Apollo moon rockets to futuristic sci-fi spacecraft. Although the basic program only offers a few different spacecraft and no sound, all of that can be easily remidied with freely available mods on orbithangar.com and orbiter.dansteph.com which provide tons of vessels and sound plugins (you can even drop in your own mp3 files to listen to during your mission). Installing extra spacecraft and sound effects is easy and allows you to simulate past, present, or futuristic spaceflights. With notepad you can quickly create your own missions with any objective you desire; you can even assemble your own space station if you want. Learning to fly can be difficult, but there's lots of help available on the forums and if you're into spaceflight or aeronautical simulation this is a must try.

It's a very good real-time space flight simulator. I really enjoyed it but it has a lot of "empty space". It hasn't any sound and that makes the game slightliy boring. Also, its complicated. Most people like coplex games, not complicated games that take hours to learn how to play them. I'm one of those people. Last, the game needs more available vessels to play with. That (plus sound and lesser compliexity) would make the game really addictive and intresting. I hope I was expressive enough.
