Me too..
Pilot every time. I have this thing for flipping those flippant switches.
However, its really hard to do that when Sara is screaming her lungs off on the flight deck directly behind you and your Commander is busy holding her off from randomly hitting switches.

Pilot twice, tried MS this last time....
I was plt track in 2000 and 2001, and I absolutely loved it (though in 2001 Amy wouldn't let me play the GPS game cuz I knew all the answers - they hadn't changed it!). I went back, week 42 this summer, and I decided to try MS track becaues I wanted to go scuba diving again. And while the track specific things were pretty cool (i particularly liked the one where we had to build the plane/gliders... and the apple-naut was cool too!), and the scuba diving was awersome, but as far as the missions went, MOCR was pretty boring during the EDM as Prop... When I was EVA, it wasn't too bad, although no one told me what I was supposed to do, so we lost the satellite... Oh well! Anyway, I woulda liked to try the new sims for pilot, but who knew they were gonna go and get computers that actually listened to pilot input?? Hopefully, I'll be able to go back, either in Adult ASA or as a counselor...
As far as the loud - yep, that sounds like Sara, alright, and I only knew her for part of a week...

I have an tendency to be on the loud side, lol. I have never tried the pilot track mainly because I really really like doing EVAs and not being responsible if the whole thing crashes and burns. I mean, do you really want to trust me with landing that thing? Haha, I miss nosedive Max...

Well..
I had assumed that they didn't really replace the computers in Enterprise so that they would actually respond to pilot input. During training for Charlie, Brent told the person in MOKR to run the landing video, and the joystick didn't do jack, as expected, it was a video.
So during our EDM, Max and I assumed that it was just going to be a cheap video again. Someone should have told us that it was actually going to work in the EDM..
Also, they really need to rewrite the checklists...

During one of the mission when I was in MOCR (I'm pretty sure it was Charlie), I was PROP, and I was watching the landing video, and I noticed we couldn't see any landing gear out, and they were pretty close to touching down... So I told Flight to tell Capcom to remind the Plt and Cdr that they NEEDED to have it out before landing, and EVA suggested that it was possible you just couldn't see the landing gear in this video. So the orbiter is maybe less than a minute or two away from touch down, and suddenly the landing gear pops out, and we're all like - wow, i guess you can see the landing gear... So for us, at least, the video depended on the pilot/commander's actions, even during the one hour missions...

I did MS for three years and loved it, and then I did PS because MS was full.
I've found, that in the Orbiter it was quite different-On the one hour missions, I just did physicals, did a checklist and did a rather dull experiment, and let the MS's back in as PS. MS, however, gets to go out and work on the satallite.
Space Station is rather the same, except as PS, I was in control... Not like it mattered.
I did enjoy being PAO in MOCR, I loved doing the "Announcer" voice. I had to keep smacking the Mission Specialist who kept cracking up, however-She said I sounded just like the people on tv.
And in the 6 hour missions... Well, I wasn't one of the first ones to get knocked off, instead I busted my rear trying to cure everyone on the orbiter.
Other than the EVA's, I'd say MS and PS are somewhat similar.
And I did like the title of Station Commander as a PS. I love control, ::Grin::

Well it is sad that they are killing the PS track. No one really signed up for it anyway. What I want to know is how teams will be structured and how missions will run after this happens....

I don't think that had anything to do with the pilot or commander because we noticed the same thing and asked them about it and they kept telling us that their landing gear was deployed.Soccer wrote:During one of the mission when I was in MOCR (I'm pretty sure it was Charlie), I was PROP, and I was watching the landing video, and I noticed we couldn't see any landing gear out, and they were pretty close to touching down...

Yeah, that happened to me in ASA Summer '02.
The video always looks like the landing gear comes out at the last second..
But the new flight sim software is cool. It really works!

i didn't hear ANYTHING about it being cut... Although, when I was in Academy and got forced to be a PS, I HATED it... I was soo bored, and I did stupid experiments in the middeck of Atlantis... I dont think we even did a pre-EVA physical... So it doesn't bother me... I just wish Pilots still did Scuba... I changed to MS this year just so I could do the scuba again (my first year in ASA, I was badly congested, and unable to dive, so I wanted to dive more than once, so I changed tracks... But if I were to be able to go back again, I think I'd do pilot again, now that i've scuba-ed twice...).
