You know your NOT addicted when you wonder who the hell Zat's talking about. (Guilty)

You know you ARE addicted when you look up Tsiolkovsky in Wikipedia. (Guilty)

:rofl: Guilty also!

When you email your email provider and ask about any sheduled downtimes just to be sure not to miss announced emails from developers.

I actually did this a couple of minutes ago:

I was making bacon, so in the process of lighting the stove, I said:
10, 9, 8, 7, 6 ignition sequence start, 4, 3, 2, 1, IGNITION (lighting the stove)

When I had to turn the heat down a bit, I was like "Endavour, Houston, go for throttleback:rofl:"

Then, when I turned the heat back up, I said "Endavour, Houston, go for throttleup :) "

The last thing I said is "Coming up on MECO.... CUTOFF" when I turned the stove off.

The bacon was very good.

And what did you make for negative return? :rofl:
An abort to orbit would be when you can eat it but the stove was turned off to early.

Also, when I installed Orbiter on my school laptop and was sneaking in Apollo 11 during English ... :lol:.'

I also said "Endavour rolling heads up":, when I flipped the bacon. I forgot what I said for SRB jet or for neg return.

And to add another one... when you only have 17GB space left on your 250GB hard drive, and 30% of it is orbiter addons... Guilty of this one!

When you spend more time in the forums talking about Orbiter and reading up on the docs than actually running it.

... somehow that just don't seem right ...

:blink:

When you get a tablet computer just for ease of having VMC running.
Whenever you go to your C: drive for something else, you always click on the Orbiter folder.
When you wish cars had thrusters just so you could dock...er...park them easier.

I have two more for ya... but they're pretty disguising.

A mission abort in orbit would be if the bacon wanted to "come back early, the way it came in".

An entry-interface is when it's time for the bacon to come out eventually.:rofl:

And then you forget why you opened the drive in the first place, and just go to the Orbiter Forum for something to do. :p

When you spend hours programing it to work with FSX to get a detailed Earth with the solar system. Talk about having your cake and eating it to!

When you shut the engines off and start a final approach from 30,000 feet with a glide slope of -20.



In FSX.

I should turn off FSPassengers when I plan on landing... :coffee:

It's a long one, but anyway:

When you are stuck in a traffic jam and you think to yourself, "Those vessels aren't moving because I didn't give them any thrust! Of course..."

When you search your car for a F3 key.

When you don't find the key, you remember that Orbiter dosen't have collision detection, and promptly drive into the car in front of you (after attempting, in vain, to find a set airspeed auto-pilot in your car so you can concentrate on steering with your brakes).

When you partake in the crash, and think to yourself, "Hey, I don't remember activating Meshland!"
