You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[Pilot7893]

You watch the following McDonald's commercial on TV, and the second word they change makes you think of Orbiter

YouTube - McDonald's McCafe Commercial "Daily Commute"

I lol'd

 

[Star Voyager]

Good morning gentlemen,
For anyone monitoring, I have found myself doing this. You now you're addicted to Orbiter when there is a fire drill at school and you call out "Houston, we got a problem, here." Also, when someone attempts something, fails, and somebody calls out "Failure!", you finish by saying "is not an option". And finally, when anybody says it's quiet, I say, "I wonder where Gunter Wendt?"

When your girlfriend yells out "APU fuel 70%" during a long bout of intimacy...

She also frequently tells me "warning, landing gear is up" but I commend her for putting up with hours of ravenstar voice commands echoing through the house on a daily basis.

lol My favorite ship!

 

[sunshine135]

...when you paint a COAS on your windshield and yell out docking confirmed when it hits dead center on the tennis ball hanging from your garage ceiling.

And finally, when anybody says it's quiet, I say, "I wonder where Gunter Wendt?"

That is going to be my new silence-breaker. Whenever it gets really quiet, myself or one of my friends will burst out, saying that.
We are really random.

 

[RangerPL]

When you kill yourself after walking into a post to "disable the Meshland module in 'Life Launchpad'"

When you wonder if Orbiter can run on your iPod.

When you bust your arse to find Wi-Fi so you can check this forum.

*double post sorry. Can't fix it, I'm on my iPod Touch.

When you press T to try to fast forward in real life, realize it only works in Orbiter, then press R.

 

[Ark]

When you're in the process of moving your crap from your apartment back into your parent's house, and during the whole process you refer to everything as "cargo" and "payload".

 

[the.punk]

When you're drawing with your finger howmann transferorbits in the air.:rofl:
I have actually done this.

 

[Hmuda]

When you make the [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3974]paper[/ame] [ame=http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3977]model[/ame] of the DG from the Hangar...like me right now.

 

[ar81]

When you see a video of Apollo 11 and you say "I was there".

 

[silent_protagonist]

...when you hear someone on TV talking about a GPS satellite moving at 18,000 mph, and you point out to everyone in the room that GPS satellites are in rather high orbits and would be moving much slower than that. (I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know the exact number off the top of my head )

Lol is that the stupid new McDonald's commercial that everyone's been talking about? I had no idea...

 

[george7378]

... When you have to remind yourself that Cessna 152s don't have translation mode.

... When you wish there was an MFD to help you choose what to order at the cafe.

... When you expect to hear music when stepping out of the car (Orbitersound 3.5)

... When you find yourself doing spacewalks in the swimming pool.

 

[kino_astroboy]

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when:

NASA accepts your candidacy as an astronaut because you had "spaceflight experience".

You change the exhaust pipe of your car to a bell nozzle.

You add a HUD to your car.

As you are walking to the park, you cross the street thinking that you adjusted RInc to 0 and think of DTMin instead of distance.

:rofl:

 

[Orbinaut Pete]

... When you find yourself doing spacewalks in the swimming pool.

I have to say, I'm guilty of that too!

Although I don't call it a swimming pool, I call it a Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory! :rofl:

 

[LoserSVK]

If u r having a good time with your honey and in end of it u say: 'DOCKING CONFIRMED!'

 

[ar81]

When you watch a History channel documentary and you hear a poor translation that says that the asteroid that killed dinosaurs traveled at 60 km/hr, or you see a "documentary" parachuting from space, and you wish to write a letter to them to ask who was the "expert" who said that.

A car can travel at 60 km/hr. Human body can withstand a max of 500 mph (subsonic) without breaking apart, and space parachuting would involve heat protection at hypersonic speeds.

When you think that staying in the swimming pool for too long would make your bones to lose mass.:lol:

And you are taking cordless tools and toolbag in it with you

Michel Fournier would disagree with you, I think (yes, he is for real): http://www.legrandsaut.org/
