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

[perseus]

Seeing a video of astronautics, and move the mouse by pressing the right button to change the camera position and perspective. :lol:

 

[BEEP]

When you spent the most of your free ( and stolen ) time from the last six months developing a MFD and despite not a single net soul cares to give you even just one 'OK it's working for me' betatesting reply you still spend the whole World Cup, which is happening in your country, gloriously trying to find out how to convert a global referenced vector into a camera view oriented frame.

Remembered another one:

You REALLY think that dividing the movements you do when parking your car between 'translation' and 'rotation' sometimes saying the words at every change, ACTUALLY helps you on performing the task better and easier.

...when you cancel your plans to confirm that OF Maintanence work is completed on time.
...you simulate airlock decompression before exiting your car.
...orbiter physics has convinced you that you can walk on both water and land.
...you have an urge to change the image quality from 5-14 when walking outside with no glasses.

 

[Interstellar Planet]

...when you wish that life had an "r" button so your could have time to do more orbiter.

[TMac3000]

When you have Orbiter zen...

Sometimes when I'm taking off in the XR-5, I just kind of loosely monitor the instruments, while letting the roar of the engines surround me and watching the sky get dark. It feels, just for a bit, like the old girl is flying herself :thumbup:

 

[Astro SG Wise]

... when you try another sim and just can't get it strait because you keep clicking the wrong buttons, (or vice versa).

 

[jplaja]

....when taking an exit from the highway you go though the flyover feeling as if you were aligning planes with the coming road and then you start speeding at the node.
:lol:

 

[Astro SG Wise]

When you pretend your pontoon boat is Atlantis, and you are at a rendezvous with ISS at the "dock". Escpecially against the current, I find it quite fun to parallel dock :thumbup:!

When you try to do this:

 

[Anroalh12]

When you draw the ISS in class.

 

[Delta glider]

When the ringtone of your phone is T minus 10,9,8, iginition sequence has started,5,4,3,2,1,liftoff. Guilty.

 

[TMac3000]

When you have this conversation:
Me: [tells mother about latest Orbiter adventure]
Mom: "You really need a girlfriend."
Me: "I already have a girlfriend. Her name is Orbiter. She's kind of a snooze in bed, but we have loads in common!"

 

[Treetop64]

When you refer to a car's fuel efficiency by specific impulse...

 

[Abdullah]

When you make an airlock from your garage to the inside of your car and have your car dock there before you get out.

 

[Falconstare]

when you narrate to yourself, out loud, in real time exactly what you're doing in Orbiter at that moment to see if it would sound interesting to someone else.

 

[GodAtum]

when you wear a spacesuit when flying and do all your abolutions in a bag.

 

[Urwumpe]

.....when your relationship breaks up because you had been spending too much time in a weak-stability boundary region.
