You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you sculpt a statue of Probe out of mashed potatoes...



is it on a 1:1 scale? if so, i could join in on the "Can recycling"... not that i like to get so severely under the influence, but if its for a good reason....

maybe we could fill it with some sort of slow burning explosive and see how high it goes!

:rofl:

1:1 scale would be a little scary with the kind of winds we get around here. How about we build it in your back yard? :lol:

I wonder just how many cans it would take to do that? :huh:

When watcing this video
YouTube - ‪What an Astronaut's Camera Sees‬‏

you immediatly start to wonder where did he downloaded that Earth texture

The thing is, as I'm sure I don't need to remind anyone, our computer tech is expanding as rapidly as ever - I have absolutely no doubt that within a few years we'll have computers that could deal with textures like that absolutely no problem at all.

when you never have less than two tabs of OF open at once

when OF is not only the most popular webpage in your browser, but its also the first that it suggests whenever you touch any of the keys o r b i t e f u m

when you have more [real]time simulated at the controls of a spacecraft than you have any other vehicle in real life.

when your computer's OS runs inside an orbiter instance

Semi-guilty. Only works if you type in "O".

...if when you touch the "H" key, Orbiter-hangar is the first suggestion (guilty)

...when your total Orbiter installation totals 1 TB.

when you consider 1TB to be Orbiter Initiation

when you believe that Orbiter is a religion, and a way of life (not guilty yet)

When you have more forum posts than Martin (a joke, i know he has better things to do)

When you download A LOT of orbiter addons but half of them you dont even use.
When you are in the mid of São Paulo with a LOT of itense traffic,you try to use hover jets.
When you are more than 20 hours in your pc ,and it is overheated,you try to deploy the radiator because you have the fear you will die of hypoxia.
When you move orbiter from your old pc to a new one with a GeForce 8600 GT just to install alot more unused add-ons.

Guilty. I have tons of addons for both 2006 and 2010 that I'll likely never use, but I downloaded them and used them at least once because they looked cool.

When you think that go to moon is easy (sadly there isnt timeswap in real life)
When you try to put SCRAMJET engines on your shoes just to walk faster.
When you think you can blow Apophis with bomb mfd.
When you start to cry because a crew member of "GL-01" was been killed of too many Gs
When you use HARP cannon as a killing machine :chainsaw: (when i was using orbiter 2006 i loved to attach UMMU to a haap cannon and shoot it at 1000 m/s and see the poor guy burning in slow motion :lol:

...When you actually cover the whole launch of a spacecraft by using Orbiter-Forum as your model. (guilty as charged; i done this today, on another forum :) )
...When you think that if you start to store some money on a safe you will eventually get enough money to a ride on SS1 or 2.
...When you invite someone that is addicted to DRAGONS (you heard it right, D-R-A-G-O-N-S!) to play Orbiter and eventually make it join O-F. (GUILTY! Wonton is the person!)
...When you think all the above is mild addiction. :p (Guilty)

...when you have radiators on your computer.
...when the XR-2 nose cone hatch closing sound plays when you close the door on your car.
...when Microsoft Sam is replaced by the XR-# autopilot.

...when intercept/approach/dock becomes so routine it's no longer challenging -- yet you still get a thrill out of it. :)

...when at night before bed you catch yourself mumbling, "Just... one... more... launch."

...when you wish you could spawn a URMS to take out the garbage.
