Should a Orbiter tutorial series for Kerbonauts worth the creation?

How about an Orbiter Tutoials Set for Kerbonaughts?  

  1. 1. How about an Orbiter Tutoials Set for Kerbonaughts?

    • Sure ! I want to discover the fun and realism that Orbiter can give

    • Well, thanks but no, I'll prefer stick to the entertainement KSP gives me

    • I'll follow you in the show of Orbiter's full potential, but may not try myself.

Following a discussion in an other thread, I got the idea of introducing this community to Orbiter, which worth way more than what you expect.

In fact you can do everything you can do in KSP (except building and exploding rockets) and a whole lot more ! Want to do "a small step for [a] man, a giant leap for mind kind" ? Strap a CSM and a LM into a Saturn V using AMSO to launch yourself to the Moon. Want to bring <Random Module> to the ISS ? Take one of the Shuttle Fleet (that's the Mod name, yes) and go rendezvous with the outpost as the sun rises over the horizon. You are more in a "suicidal" mood? Seat into a XR2 Ravenstar and make a speed suborbital transfer from Canaveral to Wideawake. Want to colonize Mars, Mercury or even Titan? Okay, go with your DGIV in the Arrow Freighter and wait for the window, then unpack all the base modules and place them as you wish.

Now if I do these tutorials, it will cover the journey to outer space from just after install (how to install mods as they are sometimes creepy, what to install first, what does what things, etc...)

to Saturn flights using a Jupiter slingshot, passing by free-return trajectories, aerobraking, and for the Ultimate Milestone, the Voyager Grand Tour, with Voyager. I may or may not do a "build your space station" part too.

So, are you interested in getting to the fictional solar system which contains Mercury to Neptune, go answer this poll (answer it too if you don't want, you may just want to choose an other option :) ), and I'll be glad to teach you how to orbit, the Earth way.

A bit more about the format:

These will be video tutorials on my YouTube channel (SolarLinerGames), the length will entirely depend on the time I'll take. Some episodes may be separated as parts, to keep the video file low (bandwidth restriction :/). So I think the max length of an episode or part will be 50min to 1hour (avg 2 Go of upload, quite good, the best I can do for file size/video quality balance). I have no clues on when and what upload frequencies, as I manage my channel in my free time.

So yeah, good flights to everyone, and may some Kerbal will meet Earth guys :)

I actually found orbiter long before KSP. I kinda... sucked at it. The only way to get to planets was warp drive.

When I found KSP, it actually helped a LOT of flying in Orbiter. I even managed to get to mars in dans DGIV.

Don't remember how, but it was with MFDs and tutorials.
