“Yeah, “Orbiter” is a VERY GOOD simulator. It has stunning graphics, VERY realistic flight physics and playability. But ist VERY hard to play, the beginners can be discouraged with lots of options. But I repeat, this is best space simulation I’ve ever played!!!”
When you see the startup screen you get a god idea about just how big and complex this is, but just fight on and learn and you will have a great time. There is no crashcourse in this game (Though there might be a course on which you can crash).
Stunning space-panoramas with a nice feeling of floating in midspace between planets and shuttles when you space-walk (go outside the shuttle). (See the screenshot).
Just take in the feeling of the game fast and then start learning, but don’t expect this to be mastered in minutes.
The screenshots are simply a few basic situations in the game, if you want to see some of the more aweinspiring views, try out the game, or go by the developers site to see some of their shots. Amazing graphical moments.
Also on the developers site you can find additional planets, vessels etc. as downloads.
Another thing that really makes Orbiter – Space Flight Simulator enjoyable for me is how it manages to stay interesting even after playing it multiple times. Many games feel repetitive after a while, but here, the experience still feels fresh because of the small details and different ways you can approach the gameplay. As you continue playing, you naturally start improving and understanding the mechanics better, which makes everything feel more rewarding. I also appreciate the balance the game maintains—it’s not too difficult, but it’s not too easy either. You can play it casually for a short break or spend longer sessions without getting bored. That flexibility is one of the biggest reasons why I keep coming back to Orbiter – Space Flight Simulator. Overall, it’s the kind of game that doesn’t just entertain you for a moment, but actually gives you a consistently enjoyable experience every time you play.
