The following text makes scenario to display a description in the Orbiter Launchpad window, before you load a scenario. In this case it will display "Ready to take off" in the launch pad window. It can be left blank if you don't want to include anything in the description.

It's not the standard DD/MM/YYY HH:MM format - It uses [[Julian Day|MJD]] format. If you browse your "\Orbiter\Utils" directory, you will find a program named "Date.exe" which allows you to convert to and from MJD format.

The camera section indicates if you are looking at your ship from the inside or the outside. We won't cover the camera parameter variations yet. In this case you start right inside the cockpit. Also notice you  can change the default Field of View (FOV) value for the scenario if you want to start out with a wider or more narrow view.

Now we have 2 ships in your scenario. You may use F3 to display a window that allows you to switch from one ship to another.
 
 
 
Congratulations, you have created your first scenario!!
 
 
 
===OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES===
 
 
 
Now edit other scenarios using Notepad and learn how they are built.
 
Just remember... if a ship class is not present, either your ships would look invisible, or it may crash orbiter to desktop.
 
 
 
If the FOCUS section has a ship that is not defined in the SHIPS section, you may have problems too. If you refer to a non existent MFD or if you have any syntax error when defining the parameters for each property, you may have problems.
 
 
 
If a scenario is crashing, try to add a standard [[Delta-glider]] ship only. If it crashes, the problem is elsewhere, a syntax error probably. If not, then you don't have the required files to have a certain ship flying.
 
 
 
You also may try to see the camera section for each scenario and what results are obtained. if you read the Orbiter manual, you may find more information about the contents of each scenario.
