Hello everyone!

[Pieter.a7x]

Hey people!

I'm Pieter, i'm 21 years old and i'm from Belgium.

I've always been a fan of the Space Shuttle and ISS, and always played Orbiter on a very low level ( just messing around with the DG and letting everything crash basically )

But i've decided to take it a bit more serious so i can finish a real mission and get a higher level of achievement than just flying the DG into space.

Any advice is welcome. ( I've downloaded Go Play In Space and will start with that ).

Grtz and thanks!

Tex made also a nice DG to ISS tutorial in video format.

Thanks I just finished Smack!.

I hope i get used to these terms quickly.. not as easy as it seems in the videos.

Take your time. Learning orbiter takes months or years...

Can't manage to return to base after my orbit around the moon.

While i'm burning in retro-grade i can't manage to stay in the same direction with my nose and i get sucked down. Every other aspect is the same as the tutorial shows.

Any ideas ?

You need an ejection from moon to lower orbit.

But my lowest point in orbit is at around 40 meters, like the tutorial suggests.

How can i go in even lower orbit?

Hower craft press "A" just when you lift off...and than hit a main thrust...until you don't get orbit...after that kill main and hover...
Delta Glider,ShuttleA,ShuttleB...thay got main and hover...still more craft,who will count all...

Getting into orbit is not the problem, it's getting back to the base after getting into orbit. As soon as i get to the point where i have to retro-burn to get out of the orbit, my dg starts to move in the wrong direction (even with level horizon and retro grade on). Thanks though.
