Hello all, I am agree with this, thanks to the Orbiters to clarify. The 2 progs have not the same goal (universe simulation for a hand, driving astronautical missions for the other), but they are complementary softs.
So, they can have some common interrest: they have so many works to do that they can have a good look for each one... (Like the evolutive ISS ported into Celestia, or the Jestr meshes/textures ported into Orbiter, all with credits...but these links are quite rares). The guy who send to you the message, Chris, is a 'mauvais plaisant qui ne represente pas la communaut?© Orbiter'. So, first, you have to do your great model for Celestia, 'course. Jeam
Ps: Brain Jones has just modeled a RMO launch mission for Orbiter: when the mars trajectory will be occure, it will nice to have this probe installed in Celestia too, yes?
I take this example to explain that the first goal of Orbiter is to recreate first the launch, manipulate the elements of the mission, and conduct it. In Celestia, this is the coordonates and good positionning for a good representation of the entire solar sys that are needed first. If there is a good model, it is 'La cerise sur le gateau'
