Thanks everyone, that's exactly what I was looking for.

I have no problems with the D3D7 client, but as far as I know D3D9 and D3D11 won't work with 2010-P1.

I'd like to give these new graphics clients a try but the Orbiter public beta builds appear to have been taken down from Sourceforge. Does anyone know if I can get the latest beta build anywhere else?

OK I'll admit it, I'm actually looking forward to this movie. I'm not too bothered by technical and scientific inaccuracy, if the end result is entertaining I'll usually let that kind of thing slide.

The plane I did my first solo in, a Cessna 152, was destroyed in a mid-air collision about two years ago. Apparently it was a control tower screw-up, they instructed him to make a left climbing turn, straight into a Piper Warrior. The Piper landed safely, but the Cessna was destroyed and the...

If there's one constant throughout history, it's that each generation has believed that the next generation will be the ones to lead humanity into chaos. Somehow, we're still here.

So it will either be a resounding success, paving the way for commercial access to the International Space Station, or it will blow itself to smithereens. Either way, we're in for a hell of a show.

Was it Buzz Aldrin who called the Ares I-X test flight an outright fraud?

The anticipation has been building steadily for quite a while now, a few more days wouldn't hurt.

It's a shame about the lack of skin support. I was looking forward to flying an Arrow painted in QANTAS colours. Not that it really matters though, Dan's add-ons are always great.

Awesome! Can't wait to take this baby to Mars.

It is but one of many Tuesdays, and that's good enough for me.
