NY Auto Show: World's first 'sky-worthy' car The vehicle has retractable wings allowing it to fit in a suburban garage. Thought this was rather interesting, even if it so darn slow. Its maximum speed is about 100 knots (185 km/h), cruises at 93 (172 km/h) and drives on the highway at about...

Today in my aviation club at school, we had a man come talk to us. That man, who introduced himself as Mr. Pelingro, was on the ignition panel of Apollo 9 and 11. He worked on the cooling of the fuels in the Saturn 1b and V. You can see some of what he worked on here: The duct work on the...

Well, bad news. The site I use to compile (and partly create) the patches I make, has been hacked and has been rendered useless. I'm not going to post a link in fear of spreading any viruses (if any) to the site but here is what it looks like at the moment. So, I really cannot make any...

Since there's a lot of shuttle mania going on not just here, but on the media and what not, I decided we should have a thread asking for people's favorite shuttle patch. My personal preference is STS-129's patch. I have no specific reason for liking it other than the fact that I really like...

{read more} I hope that all our Arizonan orbinauts are OK.

Hello all, I've created a new VSA that will have goals as any VSA does, but will do other things that have not been done quite yet. First off, it will tell a background story in the future. Here is a basic timeline: 2013- Coup de'etat in Russia brings communism back to power 2015- NATO is...

No matches on the forum great :P Anyways, I'm just starting a thread for you to post good, bad and ugly names for spacecraft :lol: Feel free to post anything you think is a good name or maybe some of your favorite names of programs past or present. (or future for that matter ;) ) Hail the probe...

I'm sure this has already been addressed, but not in any threads I could find. But honestly, the Arrow Freighter, AR-18 or whatever you want to call it needs some serious re-paints. It's a solid ship, and I think it wouldn't be doing it justice to not have more than two re-paints for it. Thanks...

Just another stupid question from yours truly. Well I've had these (Space Station Building Blocks 4.0) downloaded for a while but i really haven't done anything with them yet, and I have no Earthly idea on how to attach a module to a space craft (I'm planning on using a space shuttle(default...

Yeah I'm requesting another lazy autopilot, but thats because well I'd like cleaner landings ;) Just one to work with VSTOL craft or if theres a way to adapt the Arrow Freighters autoland autopilot to other craft and package it in a MFD form that'd be awesome. I haven't seen anything in the...

Just an off topic thread here. Do you show it off to others or keep to yourself? I've kept it mostly to myself as I just moved well 400 miles from my home. I don't really come across to others as a person who might like this stuff. At least thats what some of my friends have said. Ive told some...

O-F Staff Note: Nine off-topic posts from XR2 Ravenstar Mk II thread moved here. :lol: thats the problem.

Hey all I've been playing around with the shuttle for a while but nothing more serious than launching into orbit and releasing payloads and ending the scenario. And I've always just used the Lua MFD for launching. Then a couple days ago, it started to weird stuff to me. Well just one thing...

I don't know if anyone has seen this but i dont know what to make of it. Anyways, here you go. Honestly I think it's fake but whatever. People believe this stuff.

Hey I disabled the 'Top Stats' at the top of the home page by accident (I was messing around with my options in case you ask) and i would like to have those back on. Is there a way i can re-enable them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey all, I'm sure you all are very familiar with the DG-IV-II by DanSteph. And the Arrow Frigate included in his UCGO package. On the Arrow Freighter there is a convenient little thing that automatically lands you and the flight computer on the delta glider makes a lot of different maneuvers...

Hey i was just wondering what all the requirements are to be a fighter pilot in the U.S Air Force. Its all I've really wanted to do. I know its extremely hard to do too and requirements may seem endless. Any response would be appreciated. And any tips would be great too. Thanks! :thumbup:

Looking for shuttle pilots! If you think you've got the skills visit http://www.azrockets.org/vossa/ and apply!

Hey all, I've been using the UCGO add-on alot and i can land easily at places with a VOR frequency, but whenever i unpack a XPDR landing beacon, i can never find a way to select it for landing. Any help would be appreciated.

OK, i wouldn't know any of the mathematics behind this, but it'd be great if you're using R-Warp 1.5 when that simply puts you on a collision course with a planet/ship/station. It'd be great for lunar missions and simple orbit and de-orbit missions.
