My contact vote doesn't count since I clicked it accidentally...

Here in the US flying is generally a very expensive hobby too. That's really mainly why I didn't earn my pilot's license until I was in my 40's although I first soloed when I was 16 years old. In the US if you build your own airplane you have the legal right to do all your own maintenance on it...

I must agree with you on this point. Compared to most of the rest of the world we have it very good here in the USA for general and homebuilt aviation. I feel very fortunate indeed to live in a country that allows ordinary people to build and fly their own aircraft as they see fit. I wanted to...

After re-reading this post I must clarify that I agree with you Tex. I'm not disappointed in the forum at all... This is a great place for us orbinuts to get together and bang heads. Thanks for providing the forum! :)

Well said. Thanks. :)

Looking great, can't wait to try it out.

I am getting the same CTD with the "CEV at ISS" scenario and the same log error messages as Urwumpe.

Hi guys. My name is Gwen de Lucero. I'm 45 years old and am a 21-year IT professional(computer programming, systems analysis and design) as well as a USAFR veteran (Aeromedical Evacuation on C-130 flight crew). I am happily married to a wonderful guy named Eduardo who is a very talented but...

I agree it's looking very nice indeed. I eagerly await the finished version myself!

The models are really looking good. Very nice work. The only problem I have found so far that hasn't been mentioned is that when launching with the Ares the interior point of view is fixed outside below the Ares rather than in the Orion capsule. Handling seems good to me but RCS rates feel a...

Very nice. I'll see if I can give it a test run this evening.

I look forward to trying it out. I have been enjoying your first CEV package a great deal lately. :speakcool:

Re-reading Rendezvous with Rama and the rest of the Rama series by Clarke :)

Thanks Andy, I'll give this a try.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to alter the roll angle used by orbiter's built-in Prograde, Retrograde, etc. autopilot? it has always been a bit of an annoyance to me that the autopilot rolls so that one side (rather than the top or bottom) of the spacecraft is facing toward the body...

Yes it does. I am running the package available from orbiterschool.com at: http://http://orbiterschool.com/files/addon/ttm24.zip I find it works beautifully.

Congratulations on a job well done and welcome to the ranks of licensed pilots! May you have favorable winds on your flight toward your goal. Now you get to buy the next round of drinks :cheers:

Docking the PTM to the Lander I just use the docking MFD, activate the top docking port on the PTM (SHFT KP5) and work to align the PTM longitudinally, to the aft of the lander 3 to 5 meters below it. I then work my way toward the lander keeping my speed very low and alignment as precise as I...

I definitely think we would be remiss to not include "To the Moon in 24 Hours" To the Moon in 24 Hours (with panel) by Ken Bolli. It is one of the most complete and realistic add-on packages I have seen.
