<div class='bluenote' style='font-size:16pt; text-align:center;'>Welcome to OrbiterWiki</div>

This wiki is concerned with material relating to '''[http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit.html Orbiter]''', a space-flight simulator. On this wiki we are collecting information, documentation, plug-ins and other stuff:

==Pilot Section==
<!-- These links will probably have to be slightly rearranged, with some of them going inside some of the other ones - that's when everybody has some clearer ideas what they should be. For now, just leave it as a pile of top-level links -->
* '''[http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/basics/ New to Orbiter?]'''  a good place to start.
* [[Orbiter Basics]] - your first flight, how to fly to Mars, etc.
* [[:Category:Addons|List of Addons]] - custom ships, instruments, bases, orbital stations and even planets
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_mechanics Celestial mechanics] (article on Wikipedia) - what a pilot must know in order to understand how a ship behaves in space

==Developers Section==
Information and documentation for developers:

* [[Addon Tutorials]] - various tutorials
* [[SDK documentation]] - how to write your own modules, instruments and spaceships
* [[:Category:Tools|Tools]] - a list of tools which may be useful to addon developers
* [[Misc]] - Blueprints, schematics, etc.

==Contributor section==
* '''Before you start editing, please read the [[OrbiterWiki:CRAP|OrbiterWiki CRAP]]'''.
* [[CRAP!!!]]
* If you don't know how to edit, you can read [[metawikipedia:Help:Editing|Help]] (this link goes to another website). Please practice editing in the [[OrbiterWiki:Sandbox|Sandbox]].

<div class='ylwnote'>Please note that at the moment OrbiterWiki links are entirely case-sensitive, including the first letter! This means that [[OrbiterWiki:Sandbox]] is not the same as [[OrbiterWiki:sandbox]]. Sorry about the inconvenience, but that was necessary for the API functions. In a very short while this will be changed to entirely case-insensitive - once it's fully working on our local test machine.</div>
