The sound mod only plays sounds while in cockpit view, in third person view, there's silence (except in atmosphere), aside from the classical music playing.Kerbal Space Program is a game about a green humanoid species, named Kerbals, starting a space program.The sound add-on averts this by default, but gives you the option to play it straight. Space Is Noisy: Technically, the core game doesn't come with sounds.Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: You'd really think this game would make up their statistics?.

This doesn't count the more fictional mods that DO feature some FTL. However, the truly ridiculous amount of fuel you would need makes it a practical impossibility.

Faster-Than-Light Travel: The game uses strictly Newtonian physics, not accounting for relativity, so it is theoretically possible for a ship to exceed the speed of light with standard rocket engines.

Artificial Gravity: Unless it's generated by the good old rotation method.

Orbiter averts these space-related tropes:

Space Base (of the non-villainous planet surface variety).

Also you can use technology across every era of spaceflight, from early spaceflight technology (the Vostok and Apollo programs) to modern tech (the Space Shuttle and Ariane programs) to speculative tech or tech in research and development (the never-implemented Orion engine, the VASIMR engine, solar sails) to advanced tech from Science Fiction shows and movies ( Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5, Stargate, Battlestar Galactica.)

Really, you can set the date to be whatever you want.

Twenty Minutes Into the Future / The Future It's highly recommended that you have at least a basic grasp of orbital physics and the fundamentals of spaceflight before you even think of playing the game.

Nintendo Hard: You are, for all intents and purposes, flying a real spacecraft.

Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness: As hard as humanly possible for a layman-accessible Space Simulation Game.

There are literally thousands, and many of the more high-profile ones are considered by the community to be essential parts of any Orbiter install, to the point that it's just assumed as a given that any new user will have downloaded them.

Cool Starship / Cool Spacecraft : Way too many to list.

And for some, Real Life spaceplanes, like NASA's Space Shuttle, the ill-fated Russian Buran or the never built ESA Hermes space shuttle.

Cool Spaceplane: The entire Delta Glider class.

Asteroid Miners: The Twenty Minutes Into the Future JMC Mining Company in scenarios involving the Delta Glider Mk IV.

Also, in the default scenarios Mir is still flying, and has been moved into a convenient orbit for lunar ejections. the Soviet Union narrowly beats the US to the first succesful Moon landing, an Apollo Programme-derived spacecraft lands on Mars in 1985, etc.).

Alternate History: In some of the mods and add-ons (e.g.

Absent Aliens: Unless you're counting the mods based on Star Wars, Star Trek, Babylon 5 or other verses, which feature the ships of the various non-human species from those movies and TV shows.

Tropes used in Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator include:

If you want something a little less demanding, try the Kerbal Space Program instead. In addition to this basic game pack, there are literally tons and tons of (equally freeware) fan-made mods that expand the game in virtually every way: Adding new launchers, spacecraft, spaceports and space bases, scenarios and campaigns, texture and graphic updates, even entire planets and solar systems, and new HUDs for the ship's onboard computer. The game is freeware, so if you feel interested in it and aren't scared by a steeper learning curve, you can grab it here. Think of it rather as Microsoft Flight Simulator meets Planetes. Make no mistake, Orbiter is no fast-flyin' laser-shootin' space sim. The simulator has been in development roughly since 2000, and the latest stable version is Orbiter 2016, released in August 30, 2016. It was created by Cambridge tutor Martin Schweiger for educational and entertainment purposes.

Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator is a diamond-hard realistic Simulation Game involving spacecraft and spaceflight in general.
