Orbiter! Achieved my first orbit. WOW!

Postby SabreHawk » Sun Dec 21, 2003 9:52 am

I know a few of ya'all have this Space flight sim, but I had it on my drive for a year but just never got around to flying it, so busy wtih all else ya know.
Got it out and was impressd with it, wow.........I made my first trip up to orbit,..........what a trip! This is the "Delta glider" and ya dont even have to launch in the usual way, ya just take off in atmospheric flight like a plane, and then...............pithch her up and hang on!!
Wasnt easy though, it gets kinda tricky handling it as you reach the upper atmosphere. ;)

Whew! Now I just gotta get down from here........ :o

Well, by the time I had calmed down enough to take this shot I had already been on the dark side, this is a little after one full orbit( takes approx. half an orbit to get stablized, and do the final insertion)

Yeah, I'll getcha a shot of the ride down, soon as I figure out how do get down! :o

Mother!!!! ;D
