A short exchange on the
comments section of this video
Wakeupcalldeadend: "Orbiter 2010 is a million times more realistic than this. Amazingly Orbiter 2010 is barely known while this game is succeeding. I guess the crowd finds Orbiter 2010 too difficult so they prefer a dumbed down version."
Scott Manley: "I guess this is why some orbiter fans were mad when my first Orbiter video was me flying the space shuttle into orbit, Manually, on my first attempt, without reading the manual. (which prompted lots of comments about how terrible the orbit was)
Seriously, making disparaging remarks driven by jealousy isn't how you spread the word and recruit fans. KSP has helped bring a lot more players to orbiter, you should welcome them rather than acting like you're better than them."
separationofmind: "There's a lot of nicer people on the Orbiter Forum than this. I originally started with Orbiter and got caught up in KSP. KSP and Orbiter serve two different needs and two different experiences, they both have their merits and both have their downsides. I'd hardly call KSP a "dumbed down" version of Orbiter."
Elitism and condescension aren't good.
