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

Laying in bed at night thinking about the mission you just fudged up and what you did wrong and how to do it better next time.

This, and at the same time, it takes all your strength and willpower to fight the urge to shrug off sleep, get back out of bed, and try it again right now.
 
when your wife asks you if there was a subforum on OF for neglected wifes of orbiter addicts :shifty:

just happened.
 
Well, the wife knows how to take my mind off of orbiter.

I was programming the wife's SatNav to show her the route to my daughters soon-to-be college campus (Tennessee Tech), and I managed to get her to start calling it an MFD (FTW!).

When every time you're driving on an interstate and you come up behind a semi for the freight company P.A.M. and you instantly think it stands for Payload Assist Module.

guilty - and sometimes even doing it - getting out of the bed and trying it again...
 
I didn't sleep last night because i was planning a journey to Saturn using TransX. and i'm still sleepy...and still planning....
 
When you paint the handle of your favorite screwdriver looking like the S1C.

When you mold your hot-tamales like SRB propellant. And wonder if you light the brown center stuff will it blast-off!?!

When you bring your scientific calculator along to the amusement park, for measuring and calculating ride performance.

GUILTY

When you find yourself building a Saturn V in minecraft, and tearing it down and starting over when you get the markings wrong
 
When one of reasons why you go to Rammstein show is because they use tons of pyrotechnics and that is releated to Orbiter and spaceflight.
Guilty of that.
 
When you dream that a new part of OFMM Webcomic was released.

When you plan on making a lunar transfer... IN X-PLANE!
[Remark: in X-Plane the moon is merely a .png file! :lol:]
 
When you write on this post talking how much you love Orbiter!
When you are watching the planet Jupiter using the telescope, you think: I was there with my Arrow Freighter!

When you then try to recreate the view in your telescope with TelescopeMFD in Orbiter.
 
When you use your cellphone to change viewpoint at a real airshow..
 
When you are accused of playing Orbiter for 9 hours at work on an 8 hour shift.
 
When you don't go to exam in college because of playing orbiter (like me today) :D
