This is the earliest I can find information about Orbiter, called "Orbit" at the time, on the internet.

With or without sugar? :lol:

Also, the Doctor's slowly wheedling away on that feature list:

Things that are not implemented yet but may be in the future:
Surface modelling from topographic data. Currently my planets are as flat as billiard balls.
Dynamic cloud models. I am currently battling with visual artefacts when modelling semi-transparent cloud layers some kilometres above the surface. If I find a solution I will implement it.
Intelligent navigation computers/autopilots/AI. Currently the player-navigated vessel is the only one in the solar system. I have some ideas for batch-driven autonavigation systems which would allow me to put in computer-controlled vessels performing sensible manouvres. This is still a long way down the pipeline.

AI controlled vessels for Orbiter 2025? Oh yes, please! :lol:

Joke's on you guys: I am the ultimate sock puppet.

You know, I'm still wondering why you don't just have an own Forum for all of you... :p

I do, sort of. I have my own website which is done with Wordpress. I'm the only one who posts on it, and I switched off comments because I got tired of deleting spam all the time and nobody looks at it anyway.

So that's kind of like a forum for just me and all the rest of me as well.

After M6, everyone except you was replaced by puppets. We've just been keeping up the facade all these years.

Oh no. It was assumed that you were going to never reveal!
Now they come to light our fictitious documents of our fictitious aerospace companies, and our strange maneuvers (orbital maneuvers possibly) to hide large amounts of money.

Somewhere, a little boy is crying bitterly because he thought it was really fun to park his toy tractor on an unattended truck. Until the truck drove away. :(

What, like, the Microprose F-14 imulation from the 90ies? I had the disks for that, but I lost them at some point...

Yep, they have it on DOSbox for 7 dollars. On sale now for less than 2 though.

Obamas last speech in Germany today. And what does he talk about?

We celebrate 500 years German purity law (for beer). :cheers:

All the rest of his speech will likely be forgotten tomorrow.
