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

[Scav]

When you're driving around, and you see any one of these:

XR-
TLI
TEI
LOI

. . . etc. on the license plate of the car in front of you, and you think of Orbiter.

 

[Columbia42]

I saw a 965-TEI plate the other day.

 

[PeriapsisPrograde]

When you consider how much accuracy is lost with a bad framerate.

 

[jimblah]

Donations

You argue with your girl friend over how much you can donate to the forum. As soon as the dust clears, it's a done did deal.
:facepalm:

 

[iamwearingpants]

When you play Air on a G string at your wedding.

 

[GigaG]

When you try to find the Escape key to press it 3 times and eject when a roller coaster dives.

Also, with all this talk of "Air on the G String", I'll personally say that I don't like the song and always disable Orbitersound's MP3 function.

 

[Stevodoran]

When drinking tk lemonade you keep calling it 7k without realising.....

 

[SandroSalgueiro]

When you are driving and you time the use of the gas pedal in order to reach the next traffic light.

 

[Pipcard]

When you call out "rotation" and "translation" when moving images on an image editor.

(Guilty, when I was making my skins)

 

[Pyromaniac605]

... you get annoyed with people saying "guilty", because it's obvious we're all guilty of everything in this thread.
... when your friends tell you to turn retrograde and take you to an OA meeting.

 

[HAL9001]

when you thank almost every post in this thread...
guilty

 

[n122vu]

...you can't understand why NASA doesn't use Orbiter for its 'artist's depictions' of missions.

 

[OrbiterSpore]

...When you post in a other forum's chat a link to every launch that appears and gets everyone's attention. (Guilty)

Doing it right now. At DC-F. :LOL!:

 

[HAL9001]

...you can't understand why NASA doesn't use Orbiter for its 'artist's depictions' of missions.

I use Orbiter for my own ones, together with SolidWorks, I create and fly the Ship in Orbiter, but because I can't make msh's I than use SolidWOrks to construct the ship, render a movie from it and than I collage both together with Adobe-Premiere-Pro-CS-5

 

[Moach]

when you're the office go-to guy for all space and physics related matters *

when you're the one who tells your friends what's the latest in spaceflight news (whether they care or not) *

when you find gravity very uncomfortable, and find yourself in need to take a break from it from time to time *

when your definition of someone being "rich" encompasses having enough money to launch stuff into orbit *

when you don't think 200k for a space-tourism ticket is "too expensive" *

when you're already saving up for the above :lol:

when you spend a socially-unacceptable amount of time reading through full mission transcripts in spacelog.org *


* = guilty

[OrbiterSpore]

...When people call you "Orb" in the other forums. :lol:
...And when you correct them by saying that you're not Orb, but OS. :lol:

 

[iamwearingpants]

When you compare G's you feel on amusement park rides with planets in the solar system.

Also, when you think of brakes as retrograde burns

 

[Nazban]

When you use a keyboard to control your car, and + for accelerate, and - to decelerate.

You lightly tap the + once, thinking that there is no friction to stop you going on forever.
When you take a quick turn, your finger automatically presses 5 :lol:

If you figure out a way to engage translation mode, you'll be rich.
