Happy new year - all the best from Scotland for 2021
I got back into Orbiter over xmas and was stunned to see the development that has gone on for the last decade to NASSP. A personal thank you to all those who have coded panels and simulated systems to give an experience im sure that would bring a warm smile to any NASA veterans. It's been a steep learning curve, I fly so at least i'm used to atmo stuff. The MCC and RTC stuff is amazing but I need a little help (have read all the manuals and I am currently Apollo 11 having just sent the SVIB off like a firework with the automated LOX dump).
1) Versions ..... during initial install I was swamped with the different forks and what needed to be downloaded to give me the newest core MFD's, sounds and scenario files. I may have a hodge podge mix of too many of them. I seem to be missing the apollo 14 stuff mentioned in the quick start guide that suggests watching layzd's MFD land on the moon, I have the latest version of NASSP V8 1598 that I dropped on top of my current install.
My question is, taking a clean orbiter 2016 install, what should I download and install to bring this upto a working contemporary build with all avaiable scenarios MCC RTC etc. There seems to be a sourceforge and github build being updated and pushed. I think I started with V7 and have dumped both of these builds into my orbiter install (V8 1598 last night).
2) MCC - After TLI, Sep, Docking, Extraction things settle down and it seems the new MCC knows that if the moon interface solution thats current is ok it won't correct at that point. There is a Go/Nogo stage that i reach that I don't understand what to do that then appears. If I select proceed on the checklist it then goes into a page of star alignments. This appears to be the move from MCC-1 to 2 i think.
3) Where can I find (related to 1) apollo 14 and any oher micro updates that are not part of the core nassp.
4) I am having some problems with checklists (may be my version stew is causing this). In the scenario file Apollo 11 - before MCC-2 when opened shows the following
RH suit flow off
pwr-off
suit-pwr off
<yellow item> open pamfd remove commander
If i turn the suit flow off and click PRO on the checklist, it jumps to a new list and doesnt move down to por-off or pause at the yellow crew item.
Again, thank you for the hours/weeks/months/years of dev in this, very enjoyable and unforgiving sim. If anyone can help a poor scotman in space.... what do you mean we didnt pack the haggis.
