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

[Artlav]

OHH OHH! Can you send me a copy? pleeeeeeease?

Sure:
http://orbides.1gb.ru/orbf/phun_orbit.zip

But, remember, that:
1. You need Algodoo, the non-free one with lasers.
2. It only works with (configured for, to be precise) recent Rocket Land settings (recent one inside).
3. It only works half the time.
4. It's an internal use, highly incomplete, no guarantees, no whatever hack.

To use - run Algodoo, pause with a X=, Y= plaque on the ship visible, start the program, type in the values, all digits, wait (200% is done), top-most the graph window, unfreeze Algodoo, if it looks wrong - repeat.

It's basically like ArtMoney-class cheaters, only automated and read-only.

Controls - Z/X to zoom, R/T to change prediction range.

In case it's interesting, here are the entire set of rocket land-related builds, except for motherships:

I was thinking of releasing it all as a rocket assembly pack on Algodoo forums, is it worth it and in which way?

...when on each computer you're using there is Orbiter (guilty of that - 2 computers at home and 2 at work have Obiter installations).

...when walking down the hill you try to align yourself in 40 deg AOA for proper reentry.

...when launching fireworks at New year party you make a complete countdown with classic "go - no go" sequence.

-When you download 3 different photo editors in hopes of finding one that will let you make your own vessel skin.
-When you finally find one you realize you have no idea what to do with it

Extra points if you try to calculate the skyrocket's trajectory with a TransX port running on a TI-84 or similar programmable calculator.

Guilty

When you laugh whenever someone says "Tuesday", or make a tuesday joke when someone says "I wonder when it will be due/done"

 

[eveningsky339]

When you have caught yourself looking for an AOA gauge on your car's dashboard. Not even kidding on this one.

So many people don't get that one.

Also


When you end sentences with a semicolon;

The Ferrari Enzo has a nice little g-meter that looks like an AoA display

When you realise you have more files related to Orbiter on your hard drive than porn, and don't consider this a bad thing.

There's those who type "DG" in the IRC to short my nickname. :thumbup::tiphat:

This holds true for me.

 

[vonneuman]

When you are on a computer in the middle of the night, alone with internet, you have two choices; porn or O-F.
You choose the second one.

 

[Ghostrider]

When you are on a computer in the middle of the night, alone with internet

... And you think that you don't need any freakin' internet because you have the DGIV long range antenna.

 

[Lucy]

Wasn't the DGIV's long range antenna put in so the passengers could pass the time with crappy YouTube vids?

 

[EtherDragon]

Wasn't the DGIV's long range antenna put in so the passengers could pass the time with crappy YouTube vids?

No, it's "YouPorn" vids now.

 

[Messierhunter]

They removed that ability after UMMUs started igniting their farts in the pure oxygen zero-g environment to post on youtube.

 

[n122vu]

When you're watching the evening news and the regular media has a story about the shuttle or spaceflight, and you can't make it through the entire story without at least once saying, "What?!? That's not right! These reporters are a bunch of idiots. They should do a little research on their facts before they say it on live TV. I know that's wrong just from playing Orbiter."

 

[Blacklight]

When NASA TV comes on your TV (It magically appears in one of the "blank channels" we get here whenever there's a shuttle flight and stays on until they land, and then the channel goes blank again), You immediately hop onto NASA's website, get the information, and go fly the mission yourself on your computer.

"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.

Try this:

You are Venus and I am Mars
A love of no small feat
Up aloft among the stars
Upon the earth we meet

Take my hand and my heart
For the enormous ISP
Will blast us off, a change of course
Errr...can't forget the delta V

You are my shining star
That means the worlds to me

Optional ending:

And yes I wrote this silly poem
To get you to have sex with me


Hope it works. :tiphat:

 

[tylor2000]

btw, I know this poem is a bit corny. It's supposed to be. I'm really wondering if anyone used this on their girlfriend or wife and if it worked or not. It should work on some chicks.
