You know you're addicted to Orbiter when...

[n122vu]

When the only reason you have Windows on your computer is to run Orbiter.

Guillll---tyyyyy.

GUILTY

 

[Ark]

When you finish reading a book about a time-traveling alien artifact on Cruinthe, and you promptly pack up the XR2 and fly there for a landing and exploration.

 

[HellShadow]

This thread should really be a sticky!!

 

[unnamedkid]

i pressed F1 in any simulatior games fron now on...

 

[vonneuman]

This thread should really be a sticky!!

I concur

 

[Ghostrider]

This thread should really be a sticky!!

Why bother? It's becoming so massive it's got its own gravity field, so it doesn't really need the stickyness factor. If you don't believe me check the dV required to escape from it on TransX and...

Darn.

 

[dgatsoulis]

When during your first solo landing in a C-182, you think to yourself:
"Better quicksave now, in case i mess this up!!!"

I'll be updating some of my disclaimers.

 

[insanity]

When you spend most of your day thinking about how to create your next addon, instead of thinking about sex like most people do.

I've never had that problem, in fact sex (or at-least the prospect of) may be the few things that stops me from orbiting.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

Your right there... Nothing can interrupt my Shuttle return to KSC like my wife posed topless in the doorway of the computer room.

You should combine the two. It'll be stellar.
"Oh baby, we're coming up on MECO"
"Yeah, this cockpit is so hot"


Booty, essays, and sports are about the only distractions I have from pursuing the dream of doing nothing, unfortunately they are rather pressing concerns so my orbiter addiction is managed.

...when you have a dream that someone made a UMMU compatible C-47, but there was a bug where they were visible "floating" outside the airplane. then you fly into the ground and they all fall out and die...

When the only reason you have Windows on your computer is to run Orbiter.

GODLIKE if you plan to buy a PC with Orbiter; Orbitersound; the DG-IV and the XR-# series craft pre-installed

 

[Andy44]

When you are reading a textbook that describes how gravity gradient stabilization works, and all you can think of is building an addon that looks like the satellite in the drawing, has the same moments of inertia, and experimenting with it in Orbiter to see if the book's author knows what he is talking about.

 

[flytandem]

You know you're addicted to Orbiter when you have just been running the sim for 12 hours nonstop and take a break to look at the Orbiter forums only to realize after a few minutes that you would rather go back to the sim.

... where have you been in Orbiter today?

 

[Brycesv1]

when building a space station you lose a module and instead of just moving it with the scenario editor you painstakingly launch another craft up with the forgotten module

 

[n72.75]

When you think Planks constant is somehow related to double floating point precision.

 

[n122vu]

When you're on final approach in FSX, and you realize you are going to come up short of the runway, and can't figure out why your damn hover engines aren't having any effect, or why the hell you're veering to the left...

 

[n72.75]

When you call family members and friends to come over and see that your addon was selected by Orbithangar's random addon function.
