(Via XKCD, note title text: https://xkcd.com/1244/ https://xkcd.com/1244/ - nice slingshots too )
- 52-6F-62 9y agoI couldn't get that into Orbiter. If there was more comprehensive building it would be a bit more fun. It's closer to a flight sim than to Kerbal. But reading that second article makes me think I'm using a drastically outdated version— and I haven't pursued the user-made add-ons. There goes some of my coming weekend... looks like I'll be giving it another shot.
- sandworm101 9y agoOrbiter imho is more about flying than operating a space program. Flying is nice, but I am much more a fan of coordinating a mission between multiple craft. I can live with the cartoon nature, but I do not appreciate "features" as window dressing for poor coding. The way KSP handles memory (loads everything 24/7) is ridiculous and necessitates many silly compromises. And don't get me started on how they handle "heat" and aerodynamics.
