    What do you think orbiter is?

    Yes, classification not a prerequisite of being awesome. I'm not, nor i'm sure is anyone offended if it's called a game, and sure most simulators are classed as games. And what about software like STK... http://www.stk.com/ This software sells to nasa, military, national security and other...

    What do you think orbiter is?

    I think that Orbiter itself (without Addons), is just a simulator tool. There's nothing at all relating to a game except for the general type of program it is. It shares alot of similarities with computer games in the sense that 1) it's a program and 2) it uses DirectX for a 3D virtual...

    What do you think orbiter is?

    That's not a tool, it's a game. Show me that it allows you to design your own cars from scratch to model acceleration, aerodynamics, and braking... It's a racing game, not a driving simulator... I've driven before... A driving simulator would consist of not exceeding the speed limit, following...

    What do you think orbiter is?

    I'd say respect martins... Read what he has on orbitersim.com About Orbiter ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere.But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be...

    Chuck Norris jokes

    From chucknorrisfacts.com Noah was the only man notified before Chuck Norris relieved himself in the Atlantic Ocean. Chuck Norris once invited all of the other badasses from TV to duke it out in order to see who was the supreme badass. Only two showed up-- Jack Bauer and MacGyver. MacGyver...

    Yeah, i'm having an awfully hard time keeping my websites up! lol the program you are looking for is called eq2ecl.exe by Alex Frost. This lets you provide text file with TLE's in it and it'll convert them to orbiter ELEMENTS lines for a scenario.

    Delta Glider EX - Extremely Low Thrust

    The shuttle orbiter weighs about 18000kg more than the Buran which Energia was designed to launch, so Energia cannot get it to the 200kmx50km orbit you describe. Also, the Buran had 325% more dv in it's OMS engines for final insertion. The OMS engines on the shuttle could not provide enough...

    Nozzle Design

    I like bentonite for small motors, but I feel it will not work well for the H/I/J motors i was seeking to make a nozzle for... I did come up with a new desing which consisted of a PVC Coupler with a bunch of very small screws into it, filled with UGL Drylok Hydraulic Cement, and let harden...

    Safety and legality

    Lol... Those kids are IDIOTS! I've seen this before... I laughed pretty hard when I first saw this... The two most expensive things someone will usually own in their lifetime is their house and their car. I figured out a while ago that it's generally always better to do these kinds of...
