All my life I just wanted to be one thing: an astronaut. How amazing would it be to travel through stars and planets. Walk on the moon and life in ISS.
Unfortunately ESA say I couldn't. They say it has something to do with failing a lot of test during my application procedure, which I still think -after all those years- is nonsense. I decided to become the closest thing to an astronaut: Salesman. (#failure #StupidJob) But always kept dreaming about how it would feel. So I looked a lot to the sky and a while ago start playing Orbiter. But playing Orbiter isn't the same as the real thing. And because my family thinks it is a terrible idea to build my own rocket to shoot myself in a orbit around Earth (pfff, what do they know, Right?) I got a different idea: I want to build an realistic Apollo Simulator using Orbiter and NASSP. But ofcourse not with buttons I have to press with my mouse on a screen, but real buttons, etc, etc. I was wondering if someone did this before and if that person documented things he/she did? |

It's indeed an awesome project. But I will call the price not that awesome. I think it's cheaper to build it yourself. Wouldn't be that difficult to link it with NASSP. I believe there are addons for that. |

For reference, here's the real thing in action.
You can see how fast it updates the screen, the general color of the status lights, etc. |

Hi,
My brother and I have been working on it on our spare hours. It is going slowly, but still we are close to a POC. Our topic is in the french-ish forum, at http://orbiter.dansteph.com/forum/in...?topic=12563.0. Have a nice day |

This guy is building a full-scale CM mockup, might be someone to talk to if you want to know more about how to build this kind of project.
