Orbiter too. It's incredibly difficult to make your orbit. You really have to get it right from the get go on the ground. If you have to do an orbit transfer, that can sometimes be a huge amount of your fuel just to line up for the transfer before even breaking orbit.
I gained a true appreciation for difficulty of the kind of maneuvers that are common place in science fiction after spending time with Orbiter.

It gave this distinct feeling of "the real deal" when you played it. I remember my friend telling me he actually googled down some US Space Shuttle maunals and used the real checklists when launching in the game.
