Well, let me first say that I have been messing around with Orbiter for about two years now I guess.
I found it by chancing upon the Wikipedia page one day while looking for info on upcoming flight simulators.
I love flight simulators and flying in general and I have always wanted to be a pilot.
So anyway, I found it, installed it, and was simply awestruck by the sheer awesomeness of it all.
Too be honest, in three years I have only managed to go to the Moon and back and to reenter from the various space stations. Just the other night I was looking to find out how to do more and google led me to here.
I do not make a habit of joining forums because I never feel as if I can contribute much but after spending a few hours looking around I hope I can learn from you all and really expand my Orbiter capabilities.
(My goal is a Mars mission once I figure out how to link up with the ISS, baby steps)
Oh, and before anyone asks, no, Im not a Doctor, Im a chef. My screen name is in honor of a wrongly convicted ancestor of mine. Actually, hes the reason I never became a doctor. As a young boy I grew up in Dubai. During a visit to our British-trained pediatrician, I told him I wanted to be a doctor. He laughed and told me that I would have to change my name.
Its probably funnier if you are British.
