Which, aside from the fiddly bits, it is.

What determines where you center the mesh? I've noticed that for other meshes, it's always centered at +X and +Y, but the length up the +Z direction varies...

Holy the user reviews of AC: Unity are bad! 3 times loading more reviews on the Steam page and still no sign of some that actually liked the game !
Welp, I wanted to have it, but meh, I'll wait another sale :lol:

Got ArmA 3 instead, that one I never saw someone disappointed of it, except the 12 yo kids who thought it would be as easy as 360 quickscopping while jumping of a ladder.

I have that beat- here's a picture I took at a local gas station :thumbup:

There's a local grocery chain, however, that offers gas discounts at their pumps based on grocery purchases. This may be one of their pumps.

Similarly, that picture was after a gas discount was applied. :lol:

Nice picture thanks to a quick browse on Reddit:

Does anyone know how to implement *automatic* throttling in Velcro?

Weird place for reaction control thrusters. They're firing into the surface of the spacecraft.

Not really in 3D, but some interaction should happen there, just like it happens on the Space Shuttle.

On the lake Skadar side of Sozina tunnel, it's -12*C, snow and calm.
You go through the tunnel, and on the coastal side of the mountains it's +15*C, no signs of snow and lots of wind.

5 km of distance travelled, feels like 1000 km of a difference.

"Drive Wheel", actually, but the rest matches up pretty good :lol:

Do you know any programm used to generate the orbital elements of a planet?

Excel can already do this, if you know the math. CF Gauss should be one important name there.

Special software is not around for this, but any mathematics suite (Matlab, SciLab) has the functionality you need for turning observations into orbits and perturbations.

Using this picture is very easy:

Well, depends how you want to see it. You could say "fahr" as in "Wir fahren nach Italien", then it's definitely drive wheel. Or you could say "fahr" as in "Fahr zu du trottel!" then you might make it drive wheel as well (although more DRIVE! wheel) but go wheel works as well.

Let us not talk about fly wheels there, which are not making you fly.

With enough inertia everything can make you fly...for a short time.

That's not flying, that's hurtling. You don't fly in space, you hurtle. On a ballistic path.

Hurtle is the word of the year. Let's use it often and wisely.

You can also be flung, flinging is great fun. There is even a machine for it...
