Title: voyage to the red planet (120kb)
Post by: Sancho on February 27, 2002, 07:22:47 PM

I've been playing a lot with Orbiter (http://www.medphys.ucl.ac.uk/~martins/orbit/orbit.html), a free space sim.  Yesterday I successfully flew to Mars for the first time.  Here's a snapshot of the view on approach:

There's a few more pics here (http://www.jump.net/~cs3/mars) (668kb total).

Man, it's exciting what computers can do nowadays. I downloaded Orbitor not long ago and couldn't figure it out. From your screenshot I can see some HUD instruments I never saw before. Of course, I didn't read the instructions either. I had no idea it had this kind of scope.

I remember hitting time compression and my computer flipping out and crashing. That might have had something to do with my short run with it.

No way I'm taking 2 years to fly to Mars and back!

No meters; it's all digital readout.  Not sure about the feet, but I doubt there's rudder controls.

In short, no and no.   :D
