Kerberos42

Just found this, pretty cool what can be done with this software.

I need more time with this program. It would be great if it ever came to the iPad, this is becoming my go to device replacing my desktop for pretty much everything except actual development work. I think the touch interface would be phenomenal for working with Kerbals.

That's awesome! I have no problem achieving orbit, the trick I'm facing is achieving my "desired" orbit. I need to spend more time with the orbital tutorials.

Care to post a pic of the launch vehicle? I find there is a lack of parts to use the larger components. I'd like an adapter to nicely mate the larger and smaller diameter components.

I'm running Flight on Windows 8 CP. Works fine. I can't help but wonder if perhaps they have something in the works. Maybe Flight as it is now is dead, perhaps MS realized it wasn't going in a suitable direction and they are going to work on something else. I have a difficult time believing that the MS FS franchise is dead completely. But who knows, definitely seems odd to release patches for a defunct product, that really doesn't have any serious issues.

I'm really having a blast with this. Its a great mix of humor & simplicity yet still complex enough but without being too technical. So far I've got one ship stuck in orbit with its Kerbilnaut drifting in space a couple of kms behind. Another ship launched with way too much velocity and is now orbiting the Sun some 20,000,000 kms out. Yet another ship made it to Muns orbit then ran out of fuel before spectacularly crashing into the Munar surface. So far I'm 0 for 3 (that actually left the planet). It would be cool if you could launch bits into orbit, then assemble an interplanetary ship there. And also be able to launch a rescue mission for my poor Kerbilnaut drifting in orbit. Bring up a fuel tank so he can de-orbit.

So an abandoned trawler drifted through the Panama Canal, or all the way around Cape Horn and up against the current to Alaska. C'mon, that's pretty far fetched. It's much more likely that it was washed out to sea during the Japenese tsunami and the crew went crazy and turned in to zombies.

RoboRoy, I'd like to thank you for the fact that I have not eaten for the last 6 hours. This program has consumed me, its great for my OCD. Now if I could just figure out why my parachute keeps deploying just after lift off. Not good!

I just logged into the beta forum no problem, there were posts from yesterday, so they don't seem dead.....yet.

Now that the demise if MS Flight has come and gone, has there been any information out of the Flight studios about what was originally planned for the program in the short and long term? A road map if you will of what scenery areas were considered, aircraft that were planned? What new software features were in the works? Was there any thought on aircraft to complete the achievements for speed, altitude, distance, cargo and passengers? I'm just interested to know what direction Flight was intended, and what we will miss out on. The cancellation of Flight reminds me of the demise Canada's Avro Arrow program.

My shortest was the Air Moorea Tw'otter flight between F'aaa on Tahiti and the island of Moorea. It's 17kms, and about a 10 min flight. I did this flight 6 times in one day once.

Wonder what it would cost to get a hold of the Flight source from Microsoft. If they have abandoned it, perhaps they could be convinced to license / sell the engine. I personally would invest my time and money into such an endeavor. Some people spend thousands on custom cars etc, I'd be willing to spend a couple g's to continue flight development.

Thats kind of like when I rolled up at a Burger King drive through window and ordered a Big Mac meal.

Is there a list of the Alaska Aerocaches already posted? I was in the hospital for a couple of days and missed the ones after the first two, I'd like to head out and grab the missing ones.

I was really hoping maybe a Cub on floats would be part of the DLC. I'm getting really tired of the bush pilots at the seaplane bases laughing at me as I drift in with the Icon.
