Carbondale, IL, where it's supposed to be the greatest duration. I'll be camping at South Sandusky near Rand Lake and hiking in Shawnee National Forrest during the week. I have a pair of Barska 20x80, which I used before for sun viewing, with a Baader AstroSolar filter, of course :)

Thanks for the tip! I had no idea about their scholarships.

Here's some more model rocketry fun with my daughters. ESTES Red Rider, Executioner and Mammoth using standard motors. ESTES Argent using composite motor.

I just got into model rocketry, I have two 6-year old daughters and managed them to get hooked already! So far, I have been using ESTES rockets and engines, I'll probably tinker with them for few more months before moving up or getting certified for anything bigger. Here's a video of our last trip:

Confirmed. Another problem with this addon is there's no vessel-specific sound, eg. XR Ravenstar, which actually generate HUD warning that the OrbiterSound was not loaded properly. As I recall from 2010 version, the problem was with too many vessels and Orbiter Sound having some arbitrary limit.

Yes, much better. Thanks!

I've come back to Orbiter after one year break and I'm using now three monitors. The problem is HUD display is now really large and low resolution (all vessels). Increasing FOV helps a bit, but it's still not optimal. Are there any hidden settings for HUD display/resolution? Thanks!

Well... I think there's one thing left to do: the Arrow can drop UCGO crates full of Jack Daniels and Pin-Up Magazines for those 6 days left: UCGO Cargo Funny's Stuff Pack

The app was for 4.99 for a while, now it's free, you can pay for some extra planes though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.laminarresearch.xplane_default&hl=en

I'm sure once that Tuesday comes, I'm taking the following day off due to sleep deprivation:)

In the second picture, the camera was beyond the mirror's focal point, thus the inverted image.

Is the base upgrade available for download somewhere? I couldn't find it in the OH and the earlier external link doesn't work either....

That was awesome! I got this screenshot from the livecast.

Ditto, yellow chevrons prohibit use of runaway for either takeoff or landing.
