Free Space Flight Simulator

Just seen DR's post on the UFO simulator. Knowing that not everyone has MS flight sim thought I'd share the wealth on a kick ass free prog. The delta flyer is by far the best by means of ease for space flight. Take off from florida and head for the moon. Or change your config file to a moon of saturn and check out the rings (they are rockin). You can even start out on the mars base with Olympus just a little north (be sure to change your config file to a delta flyer for more fun but save it under a different name). Download the latest skins for super realism. Plan a trip to mars and clock in 100x hyper time for a quick trip. Or just atmosphere hop for awhile. Here's what the site says...

ORBITER is a free flight simulator that goes beyond the confines of Earth's atmosphere. Launch the Space Shuttle from Kennedy Space Center to deploy a satellite, rendezvous with the International Space Station or build your own custom station in orbit, or take the futuristic Delta-glider for a tour through the solar system - the choice is yours.
But make no mistake - ORBITER is not a space shooter. The emphasis is firmly on realism, and the learning curve can be steep. Be prepared to invest some time and effort to brush up on your orbital mechanics background.

Cool find. I wish I had more than 700mb left on my hard drive.

Man, HDDs are super cheap. I bought a 100GB for like 80 bucks. Or else delete some of that porn.
