That is why Orbiter is more complex than almost anything else in the genre — the program won't tell you where to fly or correct your trajectory. To dock with a station, you have to calculate the launch window, the inclination of the orbit, and the moment to enter the transfer trajectory yourself, working with instrument panels and maneuver planners. The reward for this is something that no arcade game offers: a true understanding of why space is structured the way it is. For decades, a community of enthusiasts has existed around the simulator, gathering huge sets of add-ons — from historical 'Apollo' missions to shuttles and fictional ships.
