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

[TimeCr0ss]

When you register on the Orbiter Forum to tell everyone you're addicted to this sim, and have been for awhile only to find this thread.

NASSP is simply amazing (being a looooong time diehard fan of the Apollo program)

Thanks very much! I finally made it to moon in Apollo 8 today!!! I really enjoy that this is not just a point an fly sim. I've been trying for awhile now to get to moon and have failed every time. My friends say "it can't be THAT hard"....pffft...

I love Orbiter :thumbup:

I did a right-click to try to get a different view. I also clicked on the start button too! Can you believe that!?!

When you move your head to avoid the thing you're flying (guilty).

I am very guilty of that.
My screensaver is a slideshow of my screenshot folder. Naturally, I walk into the room and think "I didn't know Orbiter was still on...Ooh, this looks interesting!" -moves mouse to change the view, screensaver closes- "Gosh darn it. :dry:"

Good times all around.

It's always nice to see new members that really get the point of Orbiter! :thumbup:

You know you're addicted when: you hit a raccoon(or other small animal) on the highway and tell your wife to inspect the tiles with the RMS.

 

[Voyager]

Turn your car into a Deltaglider. Think cops are aliens. Accidently blow up your kitchen from using orbiter. Using your computer so much it burns out.

^ Guilty as charged.

 

[Sky Captain]

When chased by the cops you frantically scroll through the menus of your cars GPS to find a *insert your car model*Prefs file

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you see "Hall Probe" and do a double take because you thought it said "Hail Probe."

I read that as 'Hail Probe' the first time.

 

[vonneuman]

I read that as 'Hail Probe' the first time.

So did I. And that scares me. :lol:

Hall

p.s. That was the first time I've ever hailed the and I didn't even do it right. So Hail

You know you're addicted to Orbiter (Or maybe O-F...) when you dream about seeing members of the forum Can't remember who was there though...

 

[dougkeenan]

You know you're addicted when you walk around ISDC in an Orbinaut t-shirt looking for Orbiter! (Found it being used with another shuttle landing simulation.)

Do you mean a t-shirt with this?:

​

How does it look on a fabric?
Another space flight simulator has a t-shirt design with Orbinaut inscription?

Right, that's the one - I wore it on black. Showed it to George Whitesides front and center.

And I apologize for my clumsy language. While looking around the exhibition hall I noticed two monitors with schoolkids landing shuttles. Crude but effective. As a crowd built I mentioned Orbiter (free!) and the demo host deftly alt-tabbed over to an Orbiter panel. He loaded the default landing scenario and admirably brought it in. Wish I'd caught his name and by now I was out of business cards.
