With the loss of John Young we lost a great test-pilot, engineer and adventurer. The guy worked at NASA untill 2004, come on, who can say that... Godspeed sir

Well, I don't know for the US but in Belgium we have something that's called Space studies and it's a master you can complete in one year time where they focus on orbital mechanics etc. You could check it out for the US and see if they don't offer online courses. Good luck!

Did you do it with a stick (recommended) or just by mouse and keyboard? Congrats!

Does anyone know why the NASSP Project Apollo site advises to enable the nonspherical gravity sources? Just curious... or is it mainly for the realistic-factor?

So in the end it's mostly mission control :lol: thanks a lot guys!

Ow thanks a lot, I will remember that for just in case! NASSP is next on the list. It it very tempting to only use the cockpit view I must say whilst playing... but very hectic for beginners...

Hmmm I was wondering that too if it would affect the realism. Ofcourse I'd like to have my simulator as realistic as possible. I think I mastered getting into orbit by now at a pretty high level and it still occurs... How could you perfect it or let's say how would real astronauts/pilots cope...

The drift is indeed symmetric. An increase followed by a decrease and thus making it quite difficult to allign with the ISS properly for my R.Inc start increasing as a result of the apa drift :P. I am speaking of altitudes of + 200km where the atmosphere forces should be minimal. Gravitational...

Hey Everyone First of all I am new to the forum so I say hey to you all! Therefor I am also quite new to orbiter. I have been playing it for 1 month now, but I can't seem to to stabilize my height once in orbit. I do everything as the guides tell me to do. Once I have reached orbital velocity...
