So I just took off from Mars, where do you want to go gentlemen?

Flying over Olympus Mons like a baws and don't even give a fuck.

I'm afraid even with time acceleration turned on it would take thousands of years to get there.

Sorry.

But I'll give it a go.

It's a concept craft for the game, it has wings so it can be conventionally flown/take off in Earth's atmosphere.

>> No.4494272

>>4494266
Because you want to land on a planet?
And some of them have some atmospheres?

And we're off.

Unfortunately I don't know how to pause the game, only slow it down, so while I type this I expect the craft has crashed into the ISS killing everyone on board.

>> No.4494296

...and I pressed the wrong button, a second later I'm miles away from the ISS.

Now to figure out how to set my computer to transition to Mars

Me neither man, hit F8 until you get a cockpit view like pic related.

From there click on shit with your mouse.

Don't even ask me how to use the MFDs to set a course, you'd need to be a fucking astronaut to do that shit.

Hope they at least gave you the spacer discount?

>> No.4494388

>>4494361
Can't. Due to signal loss and also due to delay when routing the signal.

>> No.4494397

>>4494388
How long is this delay? For example, the astronauts in the ISS, if something went wrong and they sent a message to Earth, how long would it take to get here?

>> No.4494418

Well fuck I did my transfer burn at the wrong time (random)

And I'm currently on my way out of the solar system, no chance of Jupiter or Saturn catching me, If I'm lucky I'll end up orbiting the sun, not likely though.

I've figured out HOW to do the transfer burn, but not how to set my on board computer to tell me when.

Shit sux, I'll try landing on the Moon instead.

I know the owner.

>> No.4494449

>>4494397
It'' not the delay to earth that's the problem, but the routing delays from the surface station to Canaveral.

Also, telemetry isn't always 100% correct, so a situation might get interpreted wrong, which might be hazardous.

Damn, I just read up on this shit, apparently it's pretty impossible to plot a course to the planets using the default MFD. I have to use TransX, but with that I have to read a shitty PDF, cannot be bothered right now, sorry.
