Downloads
Each XR vessel may be downloaded either as a single large zip file or as multiple 2-MB RAR file pieces. (WinRAR is recommended for extracting RAR files.)
Note: XR vessels require DanSteph's UMmu 2.0 and OrbiterSound 3.5 (click here for the download page). Be sure to follow the XR installation instructions in the XR Flight Operations Manual, which is included with each XR vessel's installation package and installed to Orbiter's Doc subdirectory.
You may download a version of the earlier XR5 manual translated into Spanish by Julián Soulages here.
In addition, Ugo Palazzo (Ripley on Orbiter-Forum) has translated the XR Flight Operations Manual into Italian: you may download it from his Web site here.
Important: XR vessels require Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2010 P1; older Orbiter versions will not work.
Note: Use of Orbiter's DirectX 9 (D3D9) Graphics Client is recommended because of its high framerate, particularly under Vista and Windows 7. See the first post in this Orbiter-Forum thread for download information.
Refer to the section titled Installation in the XR Flight Operations Manual for more information on how to run Orbiter with the D3D9 Graphics Client.

VistaBoost 1.0
Release date: 9.9.2007, 42.2 KBDownloads:
Vista enables ClearType font smoothing by default, which causes an Orbiter framerate hit compared to Windows XP. VistaBoost is a plug-in module for Orbiter that automatically disables font smoothing when Orbiter launches and restores font smoothing to its previous setting when Orbiter terminates. If you have a fast video card VistaBoost can improve your Orbiter framerate under Vista by 60% or more. Also works with Windows 7.
