    Active pilots?

    Hey, I got back into Orbiter 2010. I'd like to have a go at some multplayer docking attempts. I still had the teamspeakserver info and am lurking around there right now. Some company would be great. :)

    How to revert back to Mars Level 8

    which mars level 10 are you trying? I've had it successfully working and I use a pretty old graphics card. low framerates, but I don't mind. I'm quite experienced with problems relating to installing add-ons like planets, or any addons, actually. maybe I can help

    Windows woes

    pagefile tips: *make it a fixed size, about 4 times ur RAM, so windoze doesn't change the size, which costs processor and writing time. *ideally, put it on another harddrive then the one used by windoze and your other programs, on a seperate partition at the beginning of the disk. *less...

    OHM KSC to Ascension Island in 20 minutes

    there's lots of non-standard info in your .scn file, Agentgonzo, not very noob-friendly. I am talking addons that you don't mention, but arent' neccesary anyway, but do leave a couple of lines in the .scn file. No problem for me, but newer users might not want to go into editing a scn file if...

    IMFD IMFD doesn't save data?

    in my experience, only the mfd's that are open are saved in the .scn file in the quicksave directory, with all inputs saved.

    If you were chosen to go to the moon....

    i would not think about wha to do on the moon, since I'd be there only for a short period of time. I'd try to take something against the boredom on the long flight going there and back. A laptop with wireless internet hooked up to the deepspace antenna, my favourite online multiplayer games and...

    The colour of the universe is not beige...

    springs to mind the concept of synesthesia.. it's all vibrations anyway. sound, light, heat.. different organs sending parts of the spectrum to the brain.. which knows no difference, until it learns 'this is sound, that is light' and so on.. this can be unlearned or is sometimes never learned...

    Challenge Apollo 11

    hey guys, I'm flying the apollo 11 mission from the Amso addon, for the second time. 1st attempt failed due to the AP switching off and me screwing up the earth orbit insertion. (flying the saturn manually is hard, the first time) I find this quite a challenge compared to cruising around in the...

    Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good

    i'm jus responding to your title; yes indeed, striving for perfection can have a very negative influence on just being plain productive and useful.

    Is this kind of thing possible

    i've done this.. it's fun! launch one ship, send it ona course to Mars, then launch a second ship, and try to arrive at the same time. The DGIV's antenna makes it easy and fun to track the other ship.

    Songs to listen to while flying

    being an old-time u2-fan I'd recommend their first couple of albums, up untill it get's poppy.. somehow, nice synchronicities happen with words in the lyrics. (even better results with atmospheric flights)

    Question Apollo AMSO separation help

    I'm just doing this now and find the visual docking between the CSM and the LM to be easier than the docking mfd. Just make sure you turn around exactely 180 degrees and kill-rot. then rotate to align the red T on the white circle on the LM with the crosshair in the CSM upper-left window. then...

    TransX Retrograde sling of Jupiter

    when I returned from Neptune I went retrogarde around the sun, meeting the earth on the opposite site.. I did use 20k dV, so it wasn't really realistic, but at least I got back. :)

    NASA Moonwalker claims alien cover-up

    uhm.. so if the gods come down to start-up armageddon you'd be quite surprised, or would you simply interpret it differently? The fact that science can't proof yet that something like God, who is a living being without a physical body, can exist, is in my opinion a failure in science, which is...

    Poll A question of word usage.

    I tend to use 'my illegal copy of.. ' rather than 'my copy of..' oh, no.. Orbiter is free.. :) but english is not my first language anyway.. it's a second language, however I have been spending about 7 years talking mostly english with my fellow students and a girlfriend I dated for a couple of...

    General Question quickstart line in scn files

    yeah about checklists and stuff.. is there a way to open files from within Orbiter? Like pdf's and doc's, not just the notesmfd (which doesn't work in my install anyway) but some kind of internal filebrowser for all kinds of documents I might want to consult while playing.

    Windows woes

    Yes, security holes will always be found, it's the job of the anti-virus-writers to work on that, and they do it daily, windows just needs to be fast, it's already bloated enough. The only reason I don't use 98 anymore is due to incompatibility reasons, otherwise i'd still have that installed...
