An Orbiter Take-off (Atlantis space shuttle Launch)

[GOLDROCK420]

how do you know when your in orbit??? plzz help

[woutboeing]

@GOLDROCK420 You know you're in orbit when, if you look at your :orbit" multi-function display, the green circle is entirely outside of the gray circle. (see 02:44 )

@woutboeing cool thanks and do you know where i can get more flights for orbiter because it seems that i played all the ones i have

[woutboeing]

@GOLDROCK420 Every mission starts off with almost the same scenario (maybe only the date and time changes. But you can always try to find some on orbithangar (google it)

Where did you find the KSC hi resolution imagery, and does it make the Launch Pad invisible?

[GameAce10]

DUDE! You made that look so easy and cool

do you mind telling me all of the shortcut keys?

[woutboeing]

@GameAce10

For this video, only basic keys were used:

- CTRL + "+" for incremental increase in thrust

- numpad for directional and rotational control using / to switch between translation and rotation modes

- CTRL + Space for the operation of the robot arm and payload bay doors ("K").

-F1,F8 and F2 for the viewpoints. F1 for the menu.

- J to jettison boosters and External Tank.

No add-ons or autopilots were used, just the standard package.

Thx for the comment...

this video is a failure even without the insanily annoying music

[woutboeing]

for instant full thrust, press numpad "+"

for increasing thrust it's "ctrl +"

for instant cutoff its numpat " * "

for decreasing thrust it is Numpad "ctrl - "

Disappointing music.

[RJY4356]

Even without the insanely annoying techno musci, this video would still suck beyond belief

[woutboeing]

well, im sorry you feel that way.

i cant launch,get to 3 KM and fall!

[sledger25]

Serpia10, your most likely problem for the space shuttle not launching is that, under the parameters tab, you have the "Unlimited Fuel" checkbox enabled (there is a checkmark in that box)... click the box to clear the check mark, load a Shuttle launch scenario and try it again

[serpia10]

theres no launch pad

[woutboeing]

ye i didnt have a suitable addon :)

Hello Wout,

To be honest with you, your old orbiter movies are much better but this one is ok A++
