Stopped reading there.

Am I the first one to notice that "Amazing Space Simulator"s initials spell "ASS" when shorted? Anyway, in the youtube vid posted on the channel the "Orbiter 2006 preview vid" titles are not even erased properly at the start. It's like he went through little to no effort to hide it. Maybe...

I had a 4850 until last fall. I never noticed any problems like that. If it's a driver problem it must be something about the newer ones. Maybe it's a conflict with another program or something? Something that tries to acces the video memory at the same time you play Orbiter?

Windows 7 x64 (Aero ON) CPU: Intel Duo2Cuo e8400, normal frequency is 3.2 GHz IIRC, I keep it overclocked to 4.0 Ghz GPU: ATI Radeon HD5850 My desktop resolution is 1600 X 1200 -zraysoft.exe says I get a frame every 1.34-1.35 seconds -zraygpu.exe says 64 FPS maximized, 64 FPS in the smaller...

Sorry, updated the link with a more relevant one. 63% is not that far off though.

One awesome dude. I read some of those when I was a kid. On another note<--- this is a little old, but maybe it can give some insight when budgeting discussions arise.

Uh... IIRC the Mars missions had a 50% success rate. And out of twelve landings, five failed as far as I remember. I can see how a manned mission to mars won't be that reliable in some eyes. That being said, someone has to take that first step. And we won't get there if we treat our space...

So... any chance to see less selectable items in our spacecraft lists soon? :)

Even a very basic alpha/early beta of Orbinomics would be great, I think it would enhance Orbiter's flavour greatly. You would suddenly have a purpose to simming, even if the economics are simple at first.

Just a side note - if ascending to the ISS seems to take too long and it's boring, trust me, interplanetary travel will be a blast :P. The key word here is "patience". Anyway, that's why the warp function is there for. Regarding tutorials, dunno, what ship do you want to get there in? There's...

You mean there are other trading tools? All I know of is Orbinomics, and that's a work in progress. Are there others I missed?

Yes, it was selected. Even if it's selected or unselected, everything in the MFD resets to defaults once you exit/enter the game.

I just recently discovered OrbiTrader MFD, via the OMP threads here. I think it's a great idea, and I needed to know if any further development is planned for it. It would be great if there will be many more goods available for trading, if the cargo capacity would be increased according to the...

I swear, if I catch any of ya on my ranch trying to rustle some cattle, I'll shoot you on sight! A man can't have peace from you jackals, not even on Mars!

Currently re-reading Neuromancer, by William Gibson. Great book, the mood and aesthethics are particularly good.

Hah. I can spot a sparrow a mile away. Thing is, it's been ten years since I started looking at crappy/eyecancer.png/small crt monitors, moving on to lcd's and crap, and most of my day is spent reading or doing stuff on the computer. So I have pretty good eyes, but at this rate I don't know for...

Interesting information. Thanks! How thick is a shuttle window, anyway? Any link to where I can read stuff like this?

The windows seemed transparent enough not to be filtered... but then again I'm not an expert in radiation filtering. While at it, can you point me to some reading material about filtering window technology? I would like to know more of the subject matter.

Hmm... Unshielded windows. The astronauts would work out quite the tan if they take their helmets off and look out a sun-facing window. The suit/helmet will prolly be mandatory though.
