Orbiter Screenshot Thread

[Loru]

Is the shuttle named in honor of Christa McAuffle? If so, her crew mate Gregory Jarvis (a payload specialist from Hughes Aerospace) was also honored on Orbiter with the Jarvis series of rockets (the basis of which comes from an advanced study and rocket bid from Boeing).

Yup. It is named after Mrs McAuffle.

I made a Photobucket album of launching AMSO Apollo 12, with cute names and wiseacre descriptions,

I'm intending it to introduce people to Orbiter. Enjoy and share!

Ultimate orbiter moon tourist adventure!
EVA flying at mile per second just few meters of ground!
Trip starts at Brighton Beach and lasts one moon orbit!
Price-your life! :lol:

This is how I'm making space stations right now:

(I use AttitudeMFD to cancel most of my translational movement)

(An obvious tip of the hat to the folks in the movie, SpaceCamp.)

(The modules are grappled by the URMS, and then the XR5 rotates and translates to connect the module to the station. The connecting is done by eye (not by instruments) because you can't have the DockMFD of the module and control the XR5 at the same time. I know it's not realistic, but it's the best I can do. It's cool to be able to bring four or more modules up at a time.)

If you use ExternalMFD I think you can lock its focus to a particular vessel, instead of it following the currently focussed vessel.

I see it now, there's a pin icon at the top right corner of the window. I didn't notice that before.
