You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[dougkeenan]

how about this one;

...you go outside and look at the stars, and see a bright one, then bring out Orbiter to check what star it is

Similarly, once while walking the dogs at night I noticed a bright full moon. So I came in, fired up Orbiter "Date MJD ;" and looked up in the virtual sky just to be sure.

Play the Demo of SSM2007 and:

- Hit R for stopping time warp
- Hit F1 for switching back to cockpit

when ever i play ASMO i turn on my speakers to full and do full throttle
one time it woke up my neighbors dog

 

[joiz]

I have pressed T when my computers going bad, i have clicked to see the NASA pics from diffrent angles and i have looked for the f9 button when i saw a glinting satelite go by outside and to see whether that bright star is a planet or just a bright star...

When FSX and SSM07 remained untouched for weeks, if not months

When your wife catches you wearing your motorcycle helmet with the
face shield down while sitting at your computer.

Just kidding... my face shield was up. I had just made a perfect landing.

I'm speechless :blink:

When you look at a photo from one of the MER rovers (or any spacecraft) and you try to drag the screen to look to the side.

When you spin your car in a 180 degree turn and "burn retrograde" to close an orbit around McDonald's. :blink:

Now what I did was nutty, I was watching the Space Shuttle Discovery launch from 3 miles away last week. (Note to self, find a way to get cheaper tickets.) I actually caught my hand turning and twisting for the roll Program, like on SSU.

 

[Tsynique]

Once when I was parking my car (it was a close one) I was seriously looking for the Dock MFD to find out which way to turn a bit more and how much can I still move forward. Took time to recover :blink:

Does McDonald's have a strong enough grav field? I though you could just RV with it and, maybe, dock.

 

[Tsynique]

Does McDonald's have a strong enough grav field?

Judging from the sales they do everyday I think its gravity could be compare to a black hole

 

[synonys]

While watching an orbiter video over the internet you hit F1 to change view.

Or you play orbiter so much that you forget what specific key does what, you just instinctually press the correct keys to get stuff done.

 

[eveningsky339]

Oh no, Mickey D's gravity field is very strong. The universe had ended by the time I placed my order because time had slowed down so much.

 

[Andy44]

Oh no, Mickey D's gravity field is very strong. The universe had ended by the time I placed my order because time had slowed down so much.

It certainly makes my gravity field stronger if I eat too much there...

When you are on a long car trip and you are looking for a way to accelerate time:rofl:

I can picture someone pressing "T" over and over on a long trip...

 

[Master of Blades]

I can picture someone pressing "T" over and over on a long trip...

Not too much though, you 'd spin out of control and end up in the middle of nowhere, spinning frenetically...
