    Humor Happy Valentine's Day!

    More importantly: Today is "Welt Mettbrötchen Tag". Hard to translate in English... something like "World 'bread rolls with minced pork' day". So, enjoy! And don't forget: On March 14th is "Schniblo Day" :love:

    Idea Realistic Exhaust Velocities

    Yeah, congratulations! Boy or girl? How old now? Details! :-) I am also a father of two girls so... I know about your sleep deprivation :thumbup::thumbup:

    Hardware Joystick hardware suggestion?

    I use this one this one and I am very happy with it. Not too expensive and it feels pretty good. ... and to be honest: When I travel to the moon and back I use it for perhaps 5 minutes - at a total session time of let's say two hours. So... don't spend too much time and afford on this :)

    Need help with Space Shuttle Ultra

    Just a question regarding SSU: I never tried it but it seems to be really complicated. Is it possible to f*ck things up so badly that the whole machine gets unflyable? Like: "Whoops, wrong button." *Baydoor opens and closes repeatedly, Orbiter starts to spin, cabin decompresses*

    Request Bursts of RCS

    If "my" idea is included in the MFD - perfect! On the weekend I'll have a look, thanks a lot!

    Request Bursts of RCS

    So, because of my absolute lack of understanding of the internal mechanics of Orbiter: Is it possible? :lol: I hope you didn't misunderstand my "pain in the *ss". I just wanted to say that it's almost impossible to stop a vessel from rotating without pressing KillRot.

    Request Bursts of RCS

    Dear all, Yesterday I thought about the following: Would it be possible to write an MFD or an add-on that changes the behaviour of the RCS thrusters? Now the RCS thrusters just fire as long as you hold the button. I would love to have an add-on which sends only a short burst out of the...

    Scenario How to put a space station into orbit around Mars?

    I have to ask: Did you launch every module manually into space?

    Humor Random Comments Thread

    Yeah right, sometimes it happens. The realization just occured while finishing this flight: 1. Several flights with my beloved DGIV to the Arrow Freigher (which is docked to the ISS) -> Dropping of cargo and crew -> Several reentrys and landings on Wideawake International 2. Final docking of...

    Humor Random Comments Thread

    I just realized how badass we all are :) Flying around our solar system, landing on moons, handling our space ships, reentry on earth, landing on a specific spot - and not crashing. My wife always says: "I can't understand why you like this game. Staring at a black screen, watching numbers -...

    Ha! Now will you look at this! This is what I call precision :-) Is it stupid? Sure it is, but it works :hello:

    Problem Reentry flames too early

    Dear Orbinauts, A strange problem came up here. As the title says: The reentry flames come way too early - in around 90 km height with -100°C outside. I don't know what caused it - probably an Add-on I would guess? Does anyone have a clue where the start of the reentry flames is defined...

    Has anyone ever tried this?

    Are there even cameras in the sleeping compartments? Mhh, interesting. I never thought about the whole concept of reproduction in space. This seems more difficult than I thought.
