Nine years in the past: orbiter forum archives.

[fort]

Reorganizing my addon's archives, i've found this, coming from (one of ?) the first author (s?) of NASSP via SimFan. I do not know if i will delete it - i do not think that there is more that a dozen of Orbiter's users wich have it and maybe less - but if it is the case, i'll like to share it with the Orbiter forum. It's some topics coming from the ancient's age of Orbiter's foras ( i was not there at that time ) when people was living as the Trodoglytes does. Not corresponding through morse or smoke's codes but not far from that.

Look at the earth textures! That must be... what... level 3?!

Amazing how we've come on... (or rather, how Dr S has come on...)

Frying Tiger made the Delta Glider we all love.

By the way...

Has any of you tried to use the old Orbiter? I tried Orbiter 010503, the oldest version available at OrbitHangar. It was amazing. It was so weird I could barely get off the ground. To start, I had to take-off from Olympus. I have no idea if it's possible to be switched. Then, I couldn't figure out how to move the camera. The textures and meshes were also... bad, to say at least.

I must say that I loved this experience. I always liked trying old stuff. I would try Windows 1 if I could!

Having experience with O2003 helps. The controls change a little every version, but such a leap could take you aback.

I didn't know that you can cry from nostalgia...

it also remembers me at the time when I didn't know that there are add-ons for the Orbiter and whe I thought the best way of flying a ShuttleA from earth to mars would be to aim it at mars and burn til 30 percent of the fuel is used... damnit that's only 1 and a half years ago!!!
and just one year ago I learnd to get a Space-Shuttle to Orbit. Piloting-talent isn't all - yuo must also know, what's to do.
