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

[markl316]

When you jump up and down continuesly to simulate a brief second of zero G (It's 0.5 seconds of pure enjoyment)

On a trampoline, its about 1.5 seconds.
When astronauts are in zero G, to they feel that "stomach being flipped feeling" like on a freefall ride?

Here are a few I am guilty of:

Buying a $60 dollar throttle quadrant from saitek to have main, hover, and retro throttles (pretty good buy, though).

now isn't that something we all want to be guilty of, i didn't know they made one.....

 

[Ghostrider]

When you refer to your car's GPS as the "Map MFD", to the radio as the "COM MFD" and you feel the need to "dock" with the gas station in order to refuel. And once on the highway, you try to deploy the radiator.

I'm at home sick, but unfortunately, I am getting better.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... :lol:

sometimes I wish I could just use Ctrl + F4 and scenario edit my way out of school

 

[James.Denholm]

When you go to a football match (AFL, of course...) just so you can let loose your pent-up emotions about the recent success of the Soyuz mission without attracting stares from others.

Worse yet, when it isn't even your team playing...

EDIT: It was a Soyuz, right?

Bloody Victorians, Think AFL is the best :lol:

 

[unussapiens]

I'm Victorian, and I detest AFL. It's the only sport where you get a point for missing the goals (If you don't understand it, check it's wikipedia page).

Oh thank god, What sport do you support, (please be NRL, please be NRL)

 

[unussapiens]

In all honesty I don't follow any sport. But if I did it probably would be NRL (So much better than rugby union)

 

[tblaxland]

There's a few Aussie's here, so I created Orbinauts Down Under. Pop on over and feel free to join if you like. :speakcool:

Oh yeah, I follow NRL (Sharks).

Agreed. Only 2.5 weeks left for me though. Then it's orbiter 4-5 hours per day over the summer :lol:.

One from the old forum:
You know you're addicted to orbiter when you check your watch and it says MJD 59213.4573 and you realize you are late from work.

Hang on, the flag says you're a Yank!

you get a point for missing the goals

That's what sets it apart! It's unique!

 

[Scarecrow]

Hang on, the flag says you're a Yank!

tblaxland's flag says he's an Australian. markl316 is an American.

...when you see an Orbter screenshot and push F1 to get back into the cockpit!

just happened to me right now in the screenshot-thread... :sorry:

 

[Bj]

when you take screen shots of Orbiter, then print them out on the local Kodak kiosk, then place the picture in a mousepad

:beach:

 

[Ghostrider]

When you take screen shots of Orbiter, print them out at the local digital photoprint kiosk, then show them to your friends: "Now, that's me on the Moon..."

...and thats the truth :rofl:

 

[NukeET]

when you take screen shots of Orbiter, then print them out on the local Kodak kiosk, then place the picture in a mousepad

And I thought it was bad enough to use screen shots as desktop backgrounds...

...when you refer to your vehicle's cruise control as an autopilot.

 

[markl316]

When you correct your physics teacher because he says the generic term for the high point of an orbit is called the apogee.
