Editing Earth spaceports in Orbiter2016

[[Image:OrbitMFD.jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>OrbitMFD showing the earth (gray) as well as the ship's orbit (green) and ISS orbit (yellow)</center>]]

'''OrbitMFD''' is an MFD that comes with the stock installation of Orbiter. It provides a graphical and numerical representation of a ship's orbit.

== Credits ==
OrbitMFD is supplied with the stock installation of the Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator as provided by Dr Martin Schweiger and has been a part of the simulator since its inception.

== Operation ==
OrbitMFD graphically shows the orbit of the ship in green and if a target is selected, the target's orbit, and a celestial body, typically the body with the most gravitational influence on the ship. Any body in the simulator can be selected to show the relation of the orbit to that body. In addition it will show a number of parameters. Pressing the SEL button on an MFD, OrbitMFD is the first MFD in the menu. The graphics will also display the ascending node with a solid square along the orbit, the descending node with an open square with a dotted line between the two, also the apoapsis with an open circle and periapsis with a solid circle.

-Orbiter 2016 includes a number of spaceports modeled in the simulator. Below is a listing of those ports.
+[[Image:OrbitMFD.jpg|400px|thumb|right|<center>OrbitMFD showing the earth (gray) as well as the ship's orbit (green) and ISS orbit (yellow)</center>]]
-Any spaceport that indicates 0 visible pads includes a pad with zero dimension. These pads can be modified to include dimensions to make them useable. Any spaceport can be modified by the user and new spaceports can be added. Instructions to do so is included in Orbiter.pdf.<ref>Orbiter.pdf Orbiter Space Flight Simulator 2016 Edition, Martin Schweiger</ref>
