Which Orbiter rank are you?

 

[Zatnikitelman]

I voted Orbinaut, but I'm also an addon developer who either has a stubborn edition of Anim8or, or an obstinate computer who won't let me get stuff done quickly.

 

[pilotpercy]

i can do pretty much anything in orbiter but i wouldnt have a clue where to start to make an addon. love to find out how though, got some good ideas

 

[pandadude]

Orbiteer for now, going on Orbinaut.
This weekend I'm planning on spending a few hours learning how to do interplanetary travel. I can do rendezvous' and accurate re-entries, I just find transx and IMFD very complicated. But I'm planning on doing the Go Play in Space tutorial on going to Mars - I found the most useful tutorials for other aspects of Orbiter all came from GPiS.

I have figured out how to get to the moon without any MFD's and with limited fuel.
Also I figured out how to do orbital mechanics, Space Station assembley by launching the parts one after another, interplanetary travel with TransX. Out of 1 to 5 of most advanced, I am about a 5.

 

[perseus]

I would like to accurately calculate trajectories with several sling show gravitational assists.
I've seen attack ships on fire beyond pluto

 

[Urwumpe]

I am the very model of a modern rear admiral.

:lol: I've actually noticed my Anim8or being quite 'stubborn' compared to the last time I had it.
(unusual, inconsistent phenomena... )

Oh, and I chose Orbinaut by the way.

I guess I'm an 'Orbinaut'. Although, as that's only one rank below an addon creator it would seem to imply that I can do everything except make addons; which I can't.

I can manually fly into orbit (within realistic tolerances- never perfect), rendezvous, accurately re-enter, dock and fly interstellar/lunar flights.

However I can't (and don't know how) to fly to any Lag points. I can't manually launch (or plan) from the surface into GEO over a specified position on Earth. Nor can I plan specific entry points after approaching on a hyperbol.

I'm pretty conent with my abilities, however.

You can fly to the Moon without any MFds? Love to know how you're able to do that!

 

[n122vu]

Orbinaut, with aspirations to be an addon developer but not the time yet to practice making them.

I met by no Cheating. Just with a Map and an Orbit circle thing.

That's the way I learned it first because I even didn't know how to use Transfer MFD.

I'd hardly call using IMFD/TransX/TransferMFD 'cheating'. Their faculties are just that- to aid you. If you're flying to the Moon using Map and Orbit MFD, you're not doing it as efficiently/realistically as you could be; and can only benefit your experience by using them.

 

[Jarvitä]

I can do orbital insertion, randevouz and re-entry (although doing it without any additional MFDs was quite a pain and not nearly as successful as after I've found them), I understand the concept of interplanetary travel but I'm not quite there yet as I'm still learning IMFD. I've used it for lunar injection and return, but anything beyond that is still beyond me. I did get the DG to Jupiter once, but that flight consisted of LEO insertion, a burn to a random solar orbit, another burn in the general direction of Jupiter's SOI and then countless course corrections.

 

[YL3GDY]

I can do many things in Orbiter(rendezvous, reentry, interplanetar trips using TransX etc).Of course, there's as many things that I haven't tried to perform(e.g. transfers to Lagrange points, some historical missions). Also I'm quite familiar with C++, but great lack of time doesn't allow me to become an Addon Developer.

 

[Sherrif of Nottingham]

I am an Orbiteer, I can make it into orbit, and shape the orbit I have been able to goto the moon, sorry if thats not the right "term" though I can't do reentries, not perfectly. The DGIV always burns up unless I use the auto pilot.

The thing I haven't tried yet was interplanetary flight, I did end up on venus once, I was showing my neighbor what orbiter was, so he floored the main thrusters, I went spinning out of control, ran out of fuel and lande... crashed on Venus. But it was with the Shuttle A, so it didn't really crash.

The only problem with my orbits, is I really don't understand what all the numbers mean on the orbit MFD, so I usually just shut them off.

 

[MajorTom]

Is there a rank for folks like me who occasionally write add-ons (launch vehicles, mainly) but are no good at interplanetary travel?

 

[jgrillo2002]

Developer. also a orbinaut.

 

[Woo482]

I am a addon develeper I have made one addon (Woo482's manned mars rover [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3430"]Woo482's manned mars rover[/ame]) and I am makeing another manned mars rover MKII "the Mars Truck"

 

[RangerPL]

I'm an Orbinaut. I can fly to other planets, perform docking etc
