General Question Does Earth spin & Orbiter simulate atmospheric flight?

[Andy44]

I forget what this thread was about, but I now desire a pint of beer badly for some reason.

Ah, I remember now: can you drink a pint of beer while landing on a north-south runway?

The answer is yes.

Can you simulate this in Orbiter?

I don't think Orbiter supports alcoholic beverage consumption. Maybe someone can write an add-on.

Desire a pint of beer badly, the ambiguity of the English language.

If you were going to simulate alcohol in Orbiter, Why on Earth would you stop at one pint.

Well for one, I wouldn't do it on earth.

Given the cost per mass, putting one pint of beer into orbit can be quite expensive. But upon further reflection you are correct; I shall have more than one.

Somebody did: Orbiter Minibar

Shocking, can't you just round up?

N.

If we round up on German roads properly, we will end up with Mach numbers.... :lol:

In my field (Software Development) we have a saying:

Software Development is a race between Software Developers trying to build bigger and better idiot proof software and the Universe building bigger and better idiots.... but the Universe has a 15 billion year head start.....

HUMONGOUS IMS shipbuilder
PS Although the IMS 2.0 build team probably thinks more along the line of building bigger and better code to handle Dantassii's HUMONGOUS IMS ship ideas... and Dantassii coming up with MORE and MORE HUMONGOUS IMS ship ideas..

Now, there's a thought. A butterfly in Orbiter. Some wag would probably want a VC for it.?

And then it would splat on someone’s windscreen. End of butterfly.

I find it a worse problem when people say they believe in Science!
So gravity works because they believe in Newton ?
Now maths are a matter of faith ? Cool!

Really a confusion of concepts that's more and more common.

Returning to the North-South runways, would that affect Aircraft Carriers?
On that case have a moving runway, so I guess they would be more "affected".

I spent four years on a carrier, wasn’t a problem to launch and land any direction they felt like.

Dude, this thread had been dead for three years, let it rest in peace.
