On Friday, Microsoft gave MekTek permission to distribute Mechwarrior 4 for free. The initial server crushing rush is over so you should be able to get it pretty easily. The download includes MW4, MW4:Mercs, and extra 'mechs/battle-armor/weapons etc not present in either game. 111 different...

Well like any good Orbiteer, I like to play around with centrifuges. I highly recommend SpinCalc: http://www.artificial-gravity.com/sw/SpinCalc/SpinCalc.htm Aesthetically I prefer 2001 Discovery type centrifuges. I'll share a design that I'm working on now that I think is pretty neat. So my...

Post a funny seasonal story! Here's mine: I was a freshman in high school and it was Halloween and my friend invited me to an event at his church. It was decently fun (didn't have anything better to do) and lots of wholesome activities like a moon bounce, carnival-ish games, and a huge...

SpaceX's Falcon 9 is on its way to the Cape from LA. Keep an eye out if your on the road. http://spacex.com/updates.php Can't wait to see the 9 launch.

I thought the Orbiter community would enjoy a source for excellent lectures regarding Technology, Entertainment, and Design (TED, get it?). It also has talks on global issues and science. http://www.ted.com/ __________________________________________ Two vids I recommend are one talking about...

So I'm deciding not to create a vessel specific .dll and instead use spacecraft3 on my NLSSTO project (yes, still alive). I'm trying to make a decision on what the orbiter community would prefer in my vessel design. First we have the incactive child, where the payloads are just empty meshes...

I've made a fun little addon. It is now up at Orbithangar: Mooninite Pack This addon is based upon the aliens from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Ignignokt and Err are both uMmu meshes (rather small compared to a human though) and the ship is config based. You will need the uMmu addon from...

I have a feeling this thread may arise some coding-related emotions, but here it is. I know there is a way to get C# code to interface properly with C++ and even C code. (I think it has something to do with changing the function calling conventions and other small details) This is why I want...

I'm not sure how I'd rate this year's prank on the hilarity scale. But the topic is significantly more interesting to we Orbinauts. http://www.google.com/virgle/index.html Anyway's I'll be reading through it to find what scientific merits it has. The 'pioneer' survey is has some funny questions.
