    The Atheist thread

    Just thought it would be good to create a topic for people who wished to do so to just identify themselves as atheists. We, like every human, feel the need get to know other people that think like us, and that share our beliefs. I think the level of atheism in this forum might be a little...

    Idea New vessel idea

    Hi, I have an idea for a spacecraft, which I think is new (I've searched to see if it's already done but did not find it). If any developer finds it interesting, feel free to use it! The idea is to do a hybrid between a shuttle-A and a DG. The spacecraft would be winged, and it could fly...

    Heartbraking......... IMHO These are, in part, the symptoms of the virus of irrationality.

    Orbiter and EEE

    Yes!! I was considering buyn gone, and a big factor was if Orbiter would run on it or not. Anyone have a Dell mini and tried Orbiter in it?

    Orbiter Rocket Racing League

    Hey, cut me some slack, it was released the day before my post, and announced on the forum the day after. :P Maybe Bj's addon would be a good idea, if we use other vessels.

    Astronauts urine becomes news

    :lol: "Work has been somewhat slower than expected because astronaut Heide Stefanyshyn-Piper lost her tool bag during the first spacewalk."

    VR headset

    I used a similar model at a Brookstone store. Its like looking at a television at a distance, what i saw was a (not too large) square in front of me, so peripheral vision is zero. I suspect this one is similar, as it says: "Equivalent to a 62” screen viewed at 9 feet", "32-degree field of...

    SpaceX Successfully Conducts Full Mission-Length Firing of its Falcon 9

    Too bad the video does not let us get a good sense of scale. That thing must be huge.

    Orbiter Rocket Racing League

    Sounds cool, I would definitely participate, time permitting. I also think the XR vessels, or the DGIV would be preferable, mainly because they crash if the ship heats up too much. This is what would make the race tricky, otherwise it would be full-thrust all the way, and unrealistic...

    My first re-entry

    Congrats! Thats the idea, you need to keep adjusting your AoA. Here are some tips: High AoA's (35-60) will sink you in into the atmosphere (temperature will rise, but you will slow down much faster) Low AoA's (0-30) will give you more lift and make you sink slower or raise your altitude...

    Simpit Reference Links

    Thanks for putting my page up there. I must say, my simpit is a cheap toy compared to what you guys are doing. I'm amazed. At least people can use mine as an example that you don't need to invest too much money to build your own.

    XR2 Public Release Candidate Testing

    Dbeachy, thankyou for your hard work, I am having tons of fun with this addon, It is really amazing. A few minor issues I have encountered: Sometimes when I give trim up using the mouse cursor, and then try to give trim down with the cursor again, it keeps giving trim down instead of up. When...

    Simpit Outside Visualization

    I used a fresnel lens for my simpit. If you use a monitor, putting a fresnel lens between you and the monitor will basically make it seem like you are looking through a window, rather than just looking at a monitor. It is a really nice effect, and it's easy to produce. However, you should use...
