I would think so, mum was a fan, well actually she has quite an eclectic taste in music. I've not used that line yet... Wonder what effect that'll have on them? - probably the same, you know the 'glazed over eye look' the 'slow nod' and the 'slowly backing away' that people do :lol:

Nothing much more than uh huh. Best (I mean, most interest) response was actually from my mother. Mum : What are you doing at the moment? Me : I'm about to go into orbit around the moon Mum : That's nice, don't forget to take a pack up. Though now she does ask me 'If I went round the dark side...

Welcome! Think that might be another one for 'You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...' http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1606 Your SO comes to complain about having not seen you for ages, and you harass them for not using the radio ( which is your mobile phone ) and you point...

Actually, thinking about this a bit more where I talked of IQ tests being like a 'quiz' or 'exam' to score as high as a score as possible, how do you quantify intelligence? This point has been raised earlier in this thread, I understand but how would you define 'differing' types of...

I did one out of a book a fair few years ago. It put mine at 129. It had all sorts of different tests to be done in a certain amount of time. For Christmas someone got me an IQ test where you fill it in and then send it off, with which they then send you a certificate back with your IQ on it...

Oh my god, it's full of stars! And he was never heard from again...

The moment I came in here and saw the opening post, I thought the same. And lo, people went to bash.org and saw the conversations, with which they verily brought across to #orbiter Hey guys! look what I just found *Flood of bash.org links a plenty flooded into #orbiter, and they were smited.

I'm remember something about this from a documentary on the television some years ago. They talked about the Me 163 and how beyond a certain speed it would go into what was called a 'graveyard dive'. There was no way out of it, it was such a tuck under dive, that it was inevitably a fatal...

Do you have a source, reference or link for this?

Do you have a corrupt download perhaps? First, instead of trying to install them into Orbiter, just try extracting them to your desktop. Do they extract there? If not, then there is something wrong with the archive so best solution would be to redownload. As for installing any add ons the...

Yes true, but I wonder as you could write a few batch files that got you whichever browser you were after? Thereby giving the customer a choice? - for example, the manufacturer gave you a few shortcuts on your desktop 'Double click this to get Firefox' 'double click here to get Opera'. It'd...

Oh the wonders of FTP :lol: Click Start Click Run type in cmd then click enter type in ftp press enter type in open ftp.mozilla.org press enter type anonymous press enter At the password prompt type in your email address press enter type cd /pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0/win32/en-US/ (or...

The way I understood the 5th dimension was that if I had made different choices to what I did, then things would be different. For example, when I was 12 I caught the bus to school on a very wintery and snowy day. However the bus got stuck on a hill, the driver went to get help, and me seeing a...

Oh I fully agree. He is fully entitled to spend his time how he chooses, and that if you don't like a plug in don't use it etc. My point was that I feel trying to restrict something by cutting a lot of the things out that make orbiter what it is, to try to achieve another goal just sounded...

I think you're doing it wrong. Orbiter was never designed as a flight sim. If you want a flight sim i'm sure there are many other simulators out there already for you. Taking a lot of 'orbiter' out of orbiter just feels wrong on heretical levels. If we had a flight sim and you were proposing...
