You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[ky]

okay lol :lol:

 

[Nazban]

A browser like IE and firefox.And I would be late for my bus if i watched the launch.

In my opinion, watching STS-134 live would be worth missing a bus ride:thumbup:

but then again, different people have different opinions:lol:

...when you buy a computer capable of simulating A LOT of redstone in minecraft to simulate a minecraft computer
...when you make a minecraft mod capable of making LEDs
...when you've made your own computer in minecraft
...when you play orbiter in minecraft
...when you pass out from lack of hydration after playing orbiter in minecraft for 5 days
...when you get home from the hospital and play orbiter in minecraft...

I know what! A browser MFD that lets you get on youtube and pandora and O-F and stuff!

Has been done experimentally once. Worked, but wasn't very practical because of MFD resolution and input limitations.

It was more of a joke than anything...

YKYAtOW...

you decide to see what is the lowest altitude orbit you can achieve with the DG around the moon instead of studying for your final in the morning.

 

[Eli13]

2 and a half feet? Thats the lowest I've seen.

 

[Krikkit]

Ahh, I had it down to a sustained circular orbit at 5.3 meters but I forgot to decimate the time scale on my next RCS burst and ended up taking a nose dive.

I will try again after finals.

 

[diogom]

I think I can set it to less, but I'll try tomorrow :lol:.

 

[Scruce]

When you try to get to the point where gravity is balanced between the Earth and Moon and sit there motionless.

 

[Eli13]

When you do your homework while launching a DG or XR2.
And wish your computer let you fly an XR5.

My dad wouldnt drop me off at school so I had to miss it.

when you manage to reach 1mm x1mm lunar orbit and sustain it for 3 orbits in realtime

when ^that^ is your idea of a Physics A Level experiment

could you post some pictures

 

[Eli13]

that has to be one fast orbit.

You don't miss much - the XR-5 is a great ship, bu the greatest exoerience is to fly an XR2. The XR5 just has mjore capacity (quantity), the XR2 has more capabilitys (quality)...

 

[Eli13]

Its not about that, its just i wanted to try it out, and 2 FPS doesn't really allow for that.

 

[Grover]

could you post some pictures

im not that addicted yet... give me a weeks practice, i think its possible to be landed and orbiting at the same time... lets give it a go!

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you do a countdown when starting a lawnmover (gas engine)
10
9
8
(7) safety off (press the safety lever)
6
5
(4) go for engine start (you grab the charging handle/wire)
3 (start the engine)
2 (increase rpm)
1 (rpm max)
Liftoff! (start mowing)
:lol:

This is fun, I must get myself to mow the lawn more often.

 

[ky]

When you make a post on the world ending today. Lol im sorry for the idiots that believe it.
