unclejimboWhew! 2 1/2 hours of continuous play but I finally made the trip from KSC (Kennedy Space Center) to the ISS (International Space Station) without crashing.
Understand, in the ORBITER 2006 flight simulator, you have to do all the work yourself. Launch, get into a STABLE orbit (ie. circle the earth and not burn up on reentry), then do the rendezvous and docking without the nifty little computers that the astronauts enjoy to do their calculations and monitor burn times and such.
You do the work yourself. And believe me, this is work... And rocket science no less. ^^
Still, I feel quite accomplished... You don't want to know how many times I've crashed this thing... You really don't wanna know.
