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

When you call family members and friends to come over and see that your addon was selected by Orbithangar's random addon function.

DOMINATING when it takes you about a zillion clicks to realize that, no, your family members and friends aren't listed under either BASE or SHIP in the DGIV long range antenna interface.

GODLIKE if instead of resorting to the phone, you write an alternative configuration file to contact them through that antenna.

Before I start you know what the Challenger Learning centers are right? Ok, if you don't here it is: the Challenger Learning Centers were created by the families of the Challenger astronauts. Think space camp but for school groups. Anyway the one in my town has a working flight simulator. Full cockpit that they use to simulate a 737(even though the cockpit is for a different airliner, one that uses a stick instead of a yoke), o ya it is awesome. Anyway I can't help but thinking how cool it would be to try Orbiter on that thing.
Addicted much?

Here is the flight simulator I was talking about

Just think of it, Orbiter on that

I have conducted a series of tests on my wife regarding various Orbiter pickup lines.

"Hey baby, I'm ready to dock."

Result: Looked at me as if I were mentally incapacitated and returned to what she was doing. Unsuccessful.

"I'm tuned to your transponder and closing at -0.5 m/s."

Result: Looked at me as if I were mentally incapacitated, but fortunately I had gotten her pants off before this statement. Half-success.

Any other pickup lines that need to be tested?

Try this one on her:

"Hey baby, do you want to inspect my pressurized mating adapter?"

Try this one on her:

"Hey baby, do you want to inspect my pressurized mating adapter?"

EXCELLENT :lol:

Though she would either be wondering what the hell a pressurized mating adapter is, or why the mating adapter has to be pressurized. =S

 

[n72.75]

EXCELLENT :lol:

Though she would either be wondering what the hell a pressurized mating adapter is, or why the mating adapter has to be pressurized. =S

Or why the hell it need's to be adapted in the first place.

Hmmm, sounds promising. I'll try and give it a go tonight, but we are both sick with mono, so libidos are down.

It's only pressurized in preparation for docking

Or why the hell it need's to be adapted in the first place.

Meh, large nosecone, small docking port, or vice-versa?

.....you hear this out loud, without your computer even being on...

 

[jinglesassy]

when you memorized the apollo 11 launch documentary and whenever u launch orbiter you recite it in your head

 

[tylor2000]

When on a camping trip you use orbiter to find constellations you hadn't been able to find (or hadn't had a chance to look for) before in the real sky.

Especially when you didn't plan on doing that or knew you had your computer with you in the first place.

when you keep coming back to this thread just to reassure yourself that other people are doing odd things as well

"Hey baby, do you want to inspect my pressurized mating adapter?"

Urk,this line was quite the failure... C'mon guys, when I found Orbiter I expected it to spice up my love life. I need results here.

"Hey baby, do you want to inspect my pressurized mating adapter?"

Sounds like the old "would you like to play with my joystick?"

What do you expect?
You will hardly achieve any results without using RendezvousMFD first.

Are you looking for a firm solution to your space travel needs?


Just download this addon. . .

 

[Messierhunter]

when building a space station you lose a module and instead of just moving it with the scenario editor you painstakingly launch another craft up with the forgotten module

<-Guilty.

When you start thinking that a simpit doesn't go far enough and you need to buy one of these to go with it:

Speaking of simpits, when that still doesn't go far enough, you start thinking about letting these guys build a full scale replica for you:
http://www.spacetoys.com/proddetail.php?prod=spaceshuttleorbiter
Only 1.2 million... before the interior... and shipping. Though finding a place to park it would be tricky and might violate a few zoning ordinances, so how about just the interior by itself:
http://www.spacetoys.com/proddetail.php?prod=RFS11
I bet they'd even be willing to wire it to key mappers for a little extra

If I ever win the lottery, you know what I'm buying.

 

[Sky Captain]

Wow that full size shuttle replica is AWESOME I wish I had one sitting in my backyard I would live there:speakcool:.

This replica will not fly

Really??? With enough rocket boosters anything will fly.
