Happy Saturday, everybody.

What a cute Midnight sun!

*faints with bloodshot eyes*
:uhh:

Except for the ludicrous wind and rain, it was exactly like in that picture. :lol:

But if all went well I should be able to post an interesting timelapse on monday when I'm back in Italy.

Here a panorama (warning: big picture):

Just whipped it up quickly, so there are a couple of mistakes with the stitching.

Back when I first joined the Orbiter community I never thought I'd get regular updates on a nuclear power plant in Tennessee. Weird how things are connected when you think about it.

That's one of the reasons I really like this forum.

And here the promised time-lapse:

Keep in mind that this is over a period of almost 5 hours ending at about 3AM.

Added a 10 fps version, since the 30 fps one turned out very short:

Two tornadoes have ground contact right now in northern Germany, west of Flensburg.

Through the gates of hell,
as we make our way to heaven,
through the Nazi lines,
PRIMO VICTORIA!

Arrow Freighter scares me

While performing a takeoff in Pluto (premiering textures), a message appeared (down left in my screen) that changed to different texts urging me to read the manual of the Arrow Freigter (manual console, HELP button).
What is this?!

What?! I did not order any HAL 9000 that forces me read manuals!.

I'm gonna call Spacetech and they will have to listen me.
:facts::rant:
In my country, traders teach us to not read manuals (to the delight of them).:rofl:

Anyone else use the Apollo 17 in Real Time site? Really enjoying it.

Summary of the past weeks of bad weather in Germany:

• 3000 severe weather alerts
• At least 4 confirmed tornadoes *
• 11 deaths because of severe weather

* confirming them is a lot harder and takes longer than in the USA here, because the damage patterns for the weaker tornadoes are much more subtle here.

Not a good time for flight demonstration squadrons:

• Thunderbirds F-16 crashe, pilot unhurt on June 2nd
• Blue Angels fatal crash on the same day, June 2nd
• Russian Knights fatal crash today in the Moscow Region
• Patrouille Suisse crash in The Netherlands, pilot status unknown

EDIT: the pilot of the stricken swiss aircraft managed to eject safely.

Rule number one, make sure the airport works, before you sell off the ship...

In the worst case, he would have arrived riding on a cannon ball.

Indeed, at least he didn't escape. Not sure who the gaolers were in Corsica, but they probably didn't get their contract renewed.

Its odd, but looking at that landing video, it looks a bit like FSX...

Maybe it was a stupid idea to ban a Corsican near Corsica.... And a Tuscan noble on a Tuscan archipelago....
