Hey Pinetree! Cool AAR over at SimHQ. I'm on the Checklist mission too. So far I've got the hang of a manual ascent into a nice low-ECC orbit, and the turn on to suitable heading for a good inclination with ISS. Working on my node burns to zero out RInc and setting up an apogee rendevous as...

Wow! That is really cool. I'd love to be able to play Orbiter with a background image of the galactic plane - what an awesome way to appreciate mankinds's place in the cosmos... Can I put in a vote for the recent stunner from Planck? Edit: I checked out Chromoscope.net and see they have it...

Thanx Tex. And thanx for running a super forum. I'm already finding the recommended add-ons and tutorials links really helpful, and FireBalls and Izack have welcomed me on board too. Cool!

Hi Izack! IL-2 and BSG rock! Here in EnZed we were getting BSG DVD's in the stores before they were being broadcast on the local TV stations, so I 'watched' the final season by 'Blog' before I ever 'saw' it. Dudes (and Dudesses) were logging on to forums and posting live as the shows went to...

Hi FB, BlackShark looks cool. I've only got as far as installing LOMAC, and doing like a quick-launch yank 'n bank session. Finding time's the problem. But yeah, I'd like to spend some time in the LOMAC/DCS world one of these days. Thanks heaps for the welcome and being my first Orbiter...

A bit about myself? :hmm: Well, I'm kinda hiding out here a bit. I'm an IL-2 Sturmovik fan, and kinda promised to finish a Korean War campaign I was building over at the M4T and SAS forums, and... truth be told, I got to a point where I just needed a bit of a break. I stumbled over Orbiter...

Thanx Fireballs! No doubt I 'll be hollerin' for help from interplanetary space in no time at all... that, or making like a meteor somewhere over the Atlantic?

I'm just new here, but sincere congrats EveningSky. Being a Dad is the coolest job in the solar system... best wishes to you and your little man. Mum probably helped a bit too. :thumbup:

Hi all, Just tryin' out the forum for size... works pretty good. :thumbup: I had a wee play with Orbiter 2006 a while back, but my 'puter then was pretty crappy. Stumbled on the new 'oh-ten' version the other day, and it's very nice thank you. My computer is better now too - well newer...
