Stupid, Crazy, or Just wierd things you've done with Orbiter

This one's made especially for you, Artlav:

Uhh... Houston?.. I think we have a problem here!

Yeah, Houston, (hic!) I think *they* have a problem *there*. (Hic!)

Can you download that addon anywhere? and if so can someone please post a link to it

[Talon1]

Ok, here are some of mine:
-did a vertical climb to 100+ km, then dove strait down with all engines at max(it was one crazy ride[I did it on the DGIV and the XR5]):lol:
-attched 20 atlantis SRBs to an XR2 and XR5(now this is one hell of a stupid yet crazy ride!!![I even made a scenario addon for it]):lol:
- went near the sun
- crashed into the earth at warp 5 then bounced out of the solar system at about warp 10:lol:


-----Posted Added-----

Crashed the Moon into the Earth.

Made a gravity-killing vessel.

Made a time-stop module. The planets stopped, the vessels flew off.

YOU WHAT??!!!!!!!!!!!
THATS NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ESPECIALLY THE 1ST ONE!!!!!!!!!
(Also can you tell me how you did all of these?!)

 

[tonykattvc]

Shot XR1s with the Harp.

Bombed Habana

Jumped off the highest point Kulch's Space Elevator With the PMMu (ParaMMu).

Attached 20 SRBs to the XR5 (i did this before Talon1)

Did a bunch of trick with the XR2 and DGIV, XR2's wings blew up, DGIV landed safely.

Crashed the Moon into the Earth by setting it's un-orbit in the cfg instead of module.

Made a gravity-killing vessel using OSDK: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3190"]Gravity Tool[/ame]

 

[BruceJohnJennerLawso]

Without doubt - corkscrews at Mach 4 in an XR2 with both the radiator and the landing gear deployed. I still managed to survive long enough to retract the gear though.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Taking a Velcro Nova with 1% fuel in the tank, 100 times the normal thrust, and unlimited fuel enabled... and just seeing where I could go and how fast I could get before crashing or getting bored. Wound up hitting Neptune at a good fraction of the speed of light after performing a continuous burn from Saturn, doing a solar fryby, and then continuing the burn until atmospheric impact.

 

[SolarLiner]

I loaded XR2 at Brighton, applied full gas until Ecc = 0 then raised the landing gear. EVAed a guy, gently pushed downwards with the RCS, and Paf the UMmu !

I used a mass neutralizer mfd to reduce Arrow's mass then applied full thrust with time warp and ended up so far that there were floating point precision errors.

I made the ISS orbit the sun 15 meters "above it" and succesfully docked a DGIV to it.

I synced two DGIV falls to make them crash at the same time. With 100+ of wreck particles it was a real physics computation demo !

I docked round living parts of the IMS (or Building Blocks?) together so they formed a "dock loop". Orbiter didn't liked it.

I made a direct Moon -> Earth reentry with and UMmu and a Paracone (and I landed more or less on the Wideawake runway !)

I docked 3 Mir and 2 ISS together

I tried to use Orbiter Galaxy but ended up in nothing (just the star in the middle and nothing around)

Buzzed the sun by passing 1 km close (I'm far further than Voyager 1 now :lol: )

And I succesfully made a Phobos -> Mars reentry with the bay doors opened on my XR2 !

 

[dgatsoulis]

I crashed Mars on Earth.

 

[Kyle]

I gave the Earth 16 different moons once.

 

[d2k]

I crash all the time - off-topic :rofl: ...for example I land somewhere, everythings fine but then without wanting it I press Numpad 0 and kill my current vessel, always!

Ah and besides that I had negative -minus Warp trust flying backwards or something at Warp 5 (I'm not good with maths and MFD clicking).

I often found myself in the middle of nowhere, no orientation, all alone with the cold vacuum but I always wanted to arrive somewhere before I started. After I got scared of the emptiness I decided to never fly alone again (always beeing near to a planet or moon to have some 'buddy surface' to look at).

 

[AssemblyLanguage]

Launched the shuttle Atlantis to earth orbit, kept the tank, refueled, Transx'd to the moon, landed tail first, shut off the main engines and fell over.

 

[n122vu]

Had a space kegger once...

SUPER ULTRA FREE FALL!!

this is kind of fun, Put on unlimited fuel and hover straight up half way to the moon. Carefully Adjust hover so that you stay at a steady "altitude" above the earth, the open up the nose cone and EVA one lucky astronaut. Preferably do this from an outside view so you can see them falling away :lol: Then switch to the astronaut and enjoy a free fall towards Earth that lasts for hours and hours. There is no terminal velocity so you can really pick up some speed. It all seems nice a tranquil until you start to get closer to the Earth and it starts growing in the FOV ominously fast. Then before you know it, ITS RIGHT THERE AND YOUR BURNING UP IN THE ATMOSPHERE!!! Except the atmosphere is so thick it slows you down to terminal velocity and your charred lump seems to slowly drift down through the atmosphere like a leaf on a windless sunny autumn day.

 

[Loru]

Not from halfway to the moon but I dropped UMMU for GEO altitude. Not to mention my flying trains , Adam West 60's style explosion texture, rocket capacity evaluation program, autopilot and thrust vector control accidents, adventures of space shuttle BOB or the most intriguing question ever - Will it blend ??

 

[DelRioPilot]

1) Docked 2 DGIV's together about a 2500 feet above Earth.

2) Replaced Venus with Jupiter (you could actually make out the planet pretty well from Earth)

3) Attempted a DGIV Earth reentry without a cockpit canopy. The ship actually started burning up for a good few minutes before exploding completely.

4) Orbited an Arrow very low above the moon.

5) Extreme skydive (UMMU burned up)

6) Space Shuttle RTLS abort (maybe not too crazy)

 

[MattBaker]

Actually trying to figure out the highest suborbital trajectory I can eject an UMMU at the apogee and have him reenter safely.
Never got past 110 kilometers, although that would be one heck of a jump (from the edge of space dear journalists).

 

[Interstellar Planet]

I adjusted Earth's mass to make its surface gravity negative 10 gs. I burned up in the atmosphere while trying to take off in a DGIV.

 

[thepenguin]

switched the mass of the moon and sun.
