I found this neat addon that allows Orbiter to randomly generate all sorts of terrain on a moon. Not only that, the terrain changes "as the sim is running". Coupled with the new Warp Drive MFD, this is fun. 8)

And here another one that seems to work like the one above but with a different purpose.

It's amazing how Orbiter is expanding given that it's only freeware. I use the warp drive all the time and it's fun to be able to zoom past Jupiter and then Neptune in no time.

After reading some af Katahu's post about this sim I decided to waste some long dial up time downloading to see what it is all about.
And you know what, this is pretty sweet! Added the sound pack and HiRes textures and even better!

Off to download some more stuff to add to it, maybe take a trip to Mars after work (with warp drive LOL!)
