It is still possible that the information collected here will only be rumors or will get implemented in a later orbiter version.
 
 
 
If possible, links to references and sources should be given. If it appears on the [http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/gallery.html Orbiter gallery page], its not neccessary to link to the source.
 
 
 
==Extra windows for MFDs==
 
The next version will support additional windows for displaying MFDs, allowing a higher numbers of displayed MFDs.
 
 
 
==File structure==
 
The configuration files for vessels will get moved into the subfolder "config/vessels". Its currently not known, if this applies to bases and planets, too. [http://orbit.m6.net/v2/read.asp?id=29059&recordnum=40]
 
 
 
==Gravity gradient stabilization and disturbance==
 
Vessels will get affected by [[gravity gradient]] torques. The effect will get calculated in orbiter using the [[PMI]] of the vessel, so nothing will change for developers. [http://orbit.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/docs/distmass.pdf]
 
 
 
==Level 10 planetary textures==
 
The maximum possible texture resolution for textures will raise to 32768 x 16384. This feature will also change the structure of all planetary textures, so planet textures for the current version will not work properly anymore.
 
 
 
==Visualization of forces==
 
The forces acting on a vessel will get visualized in the next version. Its not known yet, if how this feature gets activated and if its possible to customize the display for custom forces.
