Hi, I'm returning to Orbiter - I last used to 2010 version, but never really got involved in the forum.
I am an old Shuttle flight controller - back room, Payloads discipline, so no great shakes.
I like these space simulators, and actually wish I had access to them back in the day when I was trying to understand spaceflight and orbital mechanics.
I bought the old MS space simulator and played with that for years, but then the computers wouldn't run it anymore. Then I found Orbiter, played it for a bit and then drifted away from it for a while.
I got to thinking about Orbiter again after I upgraded my PC during this pandemic and have been playing around with it for a bit.
I'd like to try my hand at building spacecraft so that's on my list.
cheers,
Bob H.
