Hi all!

I just recently started playing with Orbiter a few weeks ago. I've used it in the past before (when I was on the flight sim kick), but never really actually sat down and tried to successfully get into orbit. I would always launch into space and break orbit into oblivion, LOL.

A couple of weeks ago, I told myself I'd take on the challenge. So today, I successfully docked with the ISS for the first time.

Thanks to Tex for the Tutoial!

Thanks all! I think what I'll do is practice my docking procedures until I have them down to a T, then I'll work on re-entry procedures. Thanks for the encouragement!

Well folks, I'm officially hooked now . I just flew 2 DGIVs to the ISS and docked with both successfully.

I guess it's time to find out how to land in one piece, eh? :lol:

Are there any good re-entry tutorials out there?

Are there any good re-entry tutorials out there?

There are a couple on our tutorials page. And another on OrbiterWiki, plus links to a bunch of others.
