How long have you gone without playing orbiter?

Answer this poll.

About 3 months already, without even touching Orbiter. But then installing a new add-on and getting the old Columbus feeling again, is just great.

 

[Woo482]

about a month (give or take a few week)

 

[ar81]

I haven't played Orbiter since I had that email problem...
I have not even touched my addons in progress...
I discovered that a law is about to be passed, so top management could make the same mistake I did, but in their case instead of violating company statu quo it would be a penal case that violates law, given some characteristics of what they did via email.
I won't tell them how to prevent it. I do not trust them.
Let them make a mistake and learn that my mistake was smaller and unintentional, but they could have a penal case in their hands.

The longest stretch for me has been about a month. But that's simply running the program and doing something. Actually "playing" Orbiter the longest stretch is about 3 months.

I haven't played Orbiter for about 4 months. I've become addicted to playing EVE Online right now, and that's only because of its galactic economy. I periodically check the Orbiter main page to see if the new versions is out, but other than that i don't feel very Orbitrnaut right now.

About a week or two...
DGIV is just too much fun!

 

[Alex01]

"Play", as in really do a mission,not really. I'd give it 4 months.

 

[Master of Blades]

about 4 months... sort of ran out of things to do @w@

I get opportunities to use Orbiter is spurts. Longest without? 6 months or so. Longest ability to fire it up daily, maybe 1 week.

I went almost forty years without playing Orbiter.

Since discovering it though I probably haven't gone more than a day or two!

 

[thomasantony]

Well, I can't remember when i last used it. Its just lying there in my HDD. Its surely been many months.

 

[golden_eye]

Hmmm between school and work I don't have much free time to play orbiter all that much. I fired it up a couple weeks ago actually to test out the new version of Orulex but before that it had been many months. I voted 6 months but that's an educated guess at best.

It seems like I'm not the only person who has Orbiter in a hibernation state...

We are movers, people, movers: quick to abandon a game, then come back, days/months/years/decades later, and say: I remember this!

I haven't played Orbiter since I had that email problem...
I have not even touched my addons in progress...

This e-mail incident, when did that happen?

The closest option in the poll for me was 6 months I'm ashamed to say. I am itching to play soon, but given the hurricane clean up it may delay things a bit. Since the forum here got so busy (before hurricane Ike) I found that I didn't have as much time to play, but I will never set it down forever, I LOVE THIS SIM!!!

 

[Istochnikov]

My time lapse without playing orbiter isn't measured in days... is in HOURS In fact, my poor IBM/Lenovo lap has it installed for playing while i'm in the University

 

[RangerPL]

I think about 1 month now. I've played every now and then to mess with the DGIV, but I've been playing FPPs recently. That, and school is also taking away orbiter time.

 

[YL3GDY]

I started to fly in Orbiter in early 2002 - version 021202 was my first! But since then I had a great lack of time for about two years. I have resumed in 2005 - but even now it's luck to look into Orbiter one time per two weeks.

 

[Kyle]

Went 3 years between 2003 and 2006.

 

[n122vu]

Longest stretch since I rediscovered Orbiter in July of 2006 was about a month.

Being a family man, It's hard to find time to simulate any missions at home during the week. Friday/Saturday is usually my launch window.

I now have it installed on my Lenovo T60 at work and occasionally sneak in a Shuttle Fleet reentry or DGIV/ISS rendezvous over lunch...
