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

When nearly every computer in your university/school has Orbiter installed.
When you think main purpose for every space probe humans launch is to get new hi-res images for Orbiter.
 
Try to fit THAT in the glove box when you leave the car... :lol:

What the...?!?!? I apologize. I thought I was somewhere else... (post 1257). That's the second time today...

Gasp! Same here!

...when you feel very, very, lucky that Orbiter is a portable application.
 
when your friends say what game you are playing you immediatly show them i to play and explain to them that orbiter is not a game.
 
When you have Orbiter installed on every piece of storage media you can find that it will fit on. mp3 players included.

...when you have at least four Orbiter folders on your computer:
  • One for normal Orbiter usage
  • One as a backup
  • One for development
  • One for backup of your development folder
  • And maybe a fifth one to test all the addons you've downloaded from Orbit-Hangar and other sources.
  • And maybe one for just storing all the downloads in case you want to reinstall them at a later point (but you never will - it is more likely to download them again, in case a newer version has been released)

3 specials, one normal usage, one REOTIO and one REOTIO wich I've tuned up to 2010p1 and on wich I instaled some more Add-Ons, because it slowly becomes my second normal-usage-installation because it's the onlyst one where the XR-class works and two backups of this installation - that makes 49,16GB...

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

...Your handy has only Orbiter screenshots and videos... ...and when you're using it not for texting and phoning... ...only for watching the videos and screenshots... ... and when you check o-f in school... ...and when you ask your friend the silliest questions about orbiter... (2 of my friends have orbiter installed - i said them that orbiter is a game... :lol: )

guuuuuiiiiiiltyyyyy!!!!!!
:lol:
 
My ultimate orbiter addiction related event would be getting a HOTAS purely for Orbiter so I can fly like an Su37. Thrust vector, hover and active CG control is much easier with all the buttons :3
 
I use three joysticks for that
^^---another sign of addiction.


When you skip going outside and eating lunch at the park in 63F weather and instead spend your lunch break sitting at your desk testing the addon you are developing, and catching up on O-F.
