*Hrhm* You want to be an ace pilot and you fly when you are drunken?? :) (just kidding)
You know I wouldn't allow you to fly with one of my spacecraft in this drunken state! :drink:

Hey man, if I pay good money for the vessel, I have all the right to crash it while backing out of my driveway and in
any state :)

Imagine this: A police officer writting a ticket for drunken driving to an ACE pilot in full pilot gear, leaning out of the
DG3 cockpit with a stupid grin on his face while studying the damage to the neighbour's trashcans :)

Oh, didn't notice. I am an ACEEEEEEEE.. Ya'all can wax my tail now :)

Hey McBrain, nice project you're working on. The XMB-60 Discoverer looks good, can you take it off from the planet
surface?

No, you have to launch the HAB-Module with my UNI launcher and dock with the XMB-60 in orbit!

Hey mcbrain, 2 bits of feedback on your spacebus I just tested

1. It takes forever before you can break the atmosphere and start putting on speed. The ship doesn't seem
underpowered though.

2. The virtual cockpit was reversed, the text on it doesn't look to pretty backward. I have a piccy.

1. After take-off you have to pitch to 80° and then pitch down slowly while you gain altitude. I can't tell you the exact pitch values because I do it by feeling, so you have to try out the perfect values. :) It's like a Space Shuttle launch! I hope you can launch a Space Shuttle without autopilot and OMS assist! :)

2. Sorry for that, but when I made it in Anim 8 or (w/o smiley :) ) and noticed that the conversion reversed it, I was too lazy to correct this! But the VC isn't functional so I think you won't be confused by reversed text, right? :)

I understand what you mean, but I try to go up so I can start putting on some speed, otherwise the atmosphere
stops me from accelerating any further. I takes a while just to get to 20 KM, and even there you can't accelerate to
very high speeds. But about the space shuttle, I can get anything off the ground, without ANYTHING*!!! I haven't
managed to dock to a space station with the shuttle yet.



*the exception being the engine of course. The pesky fuel only weighs me down! ;)

McBrain, once your site's up and running in your own web space you might want to ask Dan to modify your Orbinauts
Map tag to have the URL attached. Just a thought. (is thinking good for you? Who knows?)

OK, out there!

Now my new website is available! www.mcbrain-spacecraft.com :flower: :beer:

Dan: May you add this URL to my Orbinauts Map entry?

Michi: If you want to save server space you could delete my site now from your webspace!
          Thank you very much for your help! :gift: to you! :)
