Could you include my tutorials?

Could you include my tutorials?

I was wondering if you thought my tutorial is good enough to include on this list. Its listed under this thread:

"From the Earth to The Moon" an AMSO 1.17 Apollo 11 Full Mission Tutorial Using IMFD

Maybe you could take a look and see if its good enough to list under your Apollo Program tutorials.

Thanks.

Just a quick note; I checked and the following links do not appear to active:

More Basic Tutorials

• How to Make Orbiter Videos & Screen Shots

Advanced Flight

• The Easiest Mars Trip I've Ever Done! Using I-MFD

Space Shuttle Tutorials

• Atlantis to ISS
• Atlantis Reentry and Landing

Apollo Tutorials

• Apollo Lunar Landing Mission Tutorial
• Apollo 11 Tutorial

I do not mean this to be critical; I just wanted to point out links that are no longer active or no longer contain the listed tutorial. I love reading through these since I learn so much from them.

Restoring Orbiterschool.com after a hack takes a significant amount of time, so here are my tutorials, originally stored at Orbiterschool:

Rocket Science for Dummies reworked:

• Lesson 1: Into orbit
• Lesson 2: Climbing up and falling down
• Lesson 3: Inclined to change?
• Lesson 4: Ships that pass in the night
• Lesson 5: There's no place like home

A bit outdated IMFD 4.6 tutorial, From the Earth to the Moon

 

[Bud]

Just like to add a link to my Earth to Mars tutorial using TransX. It says its for an old version of Orbiter but is still usable with the newest edition.

[ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2091"]Interplanetery Flight Tutorial[/ame]

Its proved popular over the years so perhaps i'll do a 2nd edition!

hi, I am inorbit.

We know that

I want to add orbiter tutorials to my blog.

Are you adding the whole text or links?

so I want permission of developers of tutorials.

What tutorials in particular?

I would recommend contacting each author individually (and privately).

 

[TSPenguin]

I'd also recommend reading the licences the tutorials are under. Many (if not all) can be freely distributed as long as you give proper credits.
