was just strange when i tried to set up orbit around the sun it started acting weird warped my orbit and sucked me in. The orbiter crashed. Tried it at sundown, still crashed just wasn't as bright. ;)

Getting close to the sun makes orbiter crash.

Oh and Ghostrider I am so with you, there are never enough lesbian witches.

They do look like a little upside down T, but yeah I've always heard them called standard arrows. Hmmm never thought of them as a inverted T until now lol.

Thanks for the welcome. I got orbits and transferring to the moon down, then went to aligning orbits, then docking. The last two have been the most difficult. Just starting to learn about transx so when I get ready to head to mars I'll be ready. ;) Thanks Tex. Thank you. Sweet! Thanks for...

Well I printed out the Orbiter manual pdf and bound it so I could go through and read up on everything cause there is a lot. Tried docking again luckily I hit it just before shadow and this time was a little easier. Docking MFD was throwing me off because of the little yellow arrows, yellow x...

Wow thanks for the warm welcome. I hope to be around for awhile, seems like every time I open Orbiter I find something new to play with. Right now I'm getting my PS3 controller to work as a joystick, after some problems with it causing my mouse to drop out I got it going last night but fell...

So I'm moving in for my very first successful docking to the ISS after spending half an hour thrusting all around it. I'm just getting in line I'm just a little way out and BAM! we go in the shadow of the earth, and wow that made something already pretty hard to almost impossible. I thought...

Hey all, new to orbiter and thought I'd sign up for the forums seems like a pretty nice place. My name is Patrick, was looking for a space simulator the other day because I watched Apollo 13 for the umpteenth time. I'm pretty much a jack of all trades geek who's been into astronauts, space...
