Inspired by a post I made in another thread I decide to make it official. Here are my thoughts, the Orbitnaut uses a lot of MFDs in their typical flight. Let's go back in time (aka 1950's Robert Heinlein for example) and see if people can do without. The conditions: 1) A DGIV parked on KSC...

Yes, I admit it, I suck at docking. Would it be possible to have a auto pilot auto docking sequence like the DGIV series? I'm mainly interesting in the XR2 for this.

(Aboard the ISS a couple of weeks later we find Charlie looking at a Monitor with great interest. Boris joins him.) Boris: "OK, why the evil grin?" Charlie: "He's at it again." Boris: "The rookie pilot who shot past us Vertically going up and down cursing all the while? I won money with...

The fumbling misadventures of someone who really shouldn't be behind a joystick. I had orbiter a while back but ended up losing in in a systems crash a while ago and decided to give it another go. Went ahead, got the files, the sound files, the DGIV (wonderful craft!) then tried to read some...
