Hello from a semi-Newbie

[Arthur Dent]

Hello,

I used to be rather inactive member from the M6 times. Although I created some stuff, I only released one model of the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=485"]Ramrod Spaceship/Mech[/ame] with interesting transforming animations in 2004 as an orbiter vessel.
In those days a learned a lot about orbiter, like docking to the ISS with the Space Shuttle or landing on the moon with NASSP (but not how to land the Apollo capsule safely on earth) and other interesting stuff in the Obriter version 031217.
Since then I am wating for the sophisticated Buran (with working autopilot) from DealerMcDope.

Due to a shortage of free time I lost track of Orbiter and forgot a lot of orbiter stuff I once achieved to learn.

Fortunately I found AC3D which brought me new interest in designing my own (humble) stuff for Orbiter, which will hopefully benefit "my" virtual nations space agency. (It's called WASA (German))



It's good to be back and see that the active Orbiter community is still around!

Don't hold your breath unless you have heard something really new(like say, this year). Last time he was around was sometime back in 2004. Last time his site was updated was in November 2004 so that one has been dead for over 4 years now and his Energia/Buran project has been dead even longer.

You might however be interested in two other add-ons dealing with the same vehicles:

- Mark Petrov's Buran2: [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2181"]BURAN2[/ame]
