[hamsterats1223]

i was getting close to the moon when the orbit came stuff happend the best part was the moon came out with a epic theme

[unparallelshadows]

You sound JUST LIKE "Theroachyjay"

[brianay3000]

my thrusters dont cut off

[brianay3000]

how do you seperate in manual mode, i press the j action key and it just makes me abandon my flight

[122Usk]

haha i can't hear the dog xD

[Clone683]

if you press T or R you dont have to press CTRL-F2

[cameroncave]

how do I tern on autopilot

[cameroncave]

The laptop is hard but if u have an xbox 360 controller the use it. Its a lot easier

[them34]

is there like a addon for noobs? like just click 'orbit' then 'moon' then 'return' or something?

[thesnorklemonkey]

@them34 Follow my Apollo 13 tutorial for an add-on like that. It's the closest thing there is.

[YoursTrulySarcastic]

lol pay no attention to the dog outside xD I'm going to download this right now it looks awesome :D

[NCONiall]

Hey my thrusters cut off at 75.3k is that ok? Just asking because your thrusters cut off at 70.7.

[NCONiall]

@NCONiall Just found out that I'm using the new AMSO which displays actual fuel instead of a percentage lol, thanks for the tutorials though :)

[MrWalshy93]

@NCONiall It doesn't matter. That's just the amount of fuel you've used :)

[ottarsss]

and i cant find the interplaneterian thing i press sel 2 times but it just goes back to the orbit thing with the green and pink circle i need help

[thesnorklemonkey]

@ottarsss Did you activate the "IMFD" module in Orbiter like I did in part 1?

[ottarsss]

@thesnorklemonkey probably not (oops)

[ottarsss]

when i took off there came a auto-pilot malfunction and then my ship went kaboom

[thesnorklemonkey]

@ottarsss Then try try again. Don't fastforward through liftoff.

[Clone683]

@thesnorklemonkey did you have damege and failier turned on?

[Pirate1120]

@ottarsss I had the same problem. Just found the answer to it the other day. On the website below the main download, Install the patch. That should fix the problem

[CodeGreen47]

Dog ftw.

[znttnt11]

Do you use TransX?

[thesnorklemonkey]

@znttnt11 I've never really learned it, no. I use IMFD for interplanetary travel, and Lunar Transfer MFD for lunar travel.

[IzmirMr]

15 or 50

[The4321meins]

@IzmirMr 50

[spartons222]

i can land almost perfectly now but i cant install this it wont work when i do i have 2006p1

[thesnorklemonkey]

@spartons222 Try upgrading to 2010 P1 and then installing.

[spartons222]

whats the minimum requirements?

[thesnorklemonkey]

@spartons222 The requirements can't be very high. Proabby 256MB of RAM, any old Graphics Card can run it. You can even set your visuals to low in the launchpad.

[bennyvega100]

I love Orbiter...It's a totally realistic sim, and it's free! Booya!

[kngkrl22]

This tutorial is very helpful

[coliepolie123]

If you can fly to the moon in this game, do you think you could fly to the moon in a real spacecraft? :3

[thesnorklemonkey]

@coliepolie123 Flying to the moon in this game involves a number of advanced, but simple programs and near perfect autopilots. Flying to the moon in real life involves the memorization of every switch, every system, and every little thing in the ship. Maybe with months of training, but as it stands, no I couldn't.

[cubsrock10997]

hey when im flyinghow do i open my mfds? cuz i cant figure out how cuz i have a warp speed mfd but i cant figure out how to use my mfds.

[saxman0428]

Are you using Orbiter 2006? Because i have 2010 and I've downloaded the Interplanetary IMFD and i can't find it on the MFD's.

[thesnorklemonkey]

@saxman0428 This tutorial is done in Orbiter 2006, but IMFD still works in 2010.

[xLieutenantMx]

Where do you go to read the full control manual?

[usofa12]

Dude 3 degrees outside?

[thesnorklemonkey]

@usofa12 What are you talking about?

[usofa12]

@thesnorklemonkey - On your desktop screen. The weather gadget on the right side says 3 degrees.

[thesnorklemonkey]

@usofa12 Oh, haha. Yeah, it got real cold at that time. I live in Ottawa, Canada. Spring can get pretty cold. Today was 35 degrees though.

[usofa12]

@thesnorklemonkey - Oh here it was 74 today. In the shade!

[JBL179]

@usofa12 Oh, but this is in Celsius. So what you saw as 3 degrees was really 37 degrees in America. And 35 degrees was 95, which was the other day. So it changes pretty rapidly over here.

[usofa12]

@JBL179 - Oh sorry, right, I didn't see that! Thanks!

[thesnorklemonkey]

I should have the third part up tomorrow night.

[jambooger]

Good Job. Im looking forward to the upcoming parts.
