I am not sure what Lambert mode is, It is an IMFD default setting. I believe it allowes IMFD to use modern burn settings. Back in the day of Apollo, they did their main burns with a start time and a main engine cut off (MECO.) Setting this setting in IMFD to Apollo P30 allows IMFD to calculate...

Thank you for your kind words. I would like to say that I had an enormouse ammount of collaboration to test and produce this unfinished document/tutorial but alas I didn't really know anyone at the time I was working on it offline on my own - Some of it was out of bordem but it soon became an...

Yes.

Hmmm I dont know now Well be sure to read the entire tutorial from the start. You will have to follow ALL the instructions even if you dont think the section is important. You should check off the steps like a list of things to do. If you miss just 1 step the tutorial may not work the way it...

Here is one on these forums I dont know why noone knows about this one: (is it because its no good?) Its been viewed 10,060 times so it might be an ok one to try. http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1303 "From the Earth to The Moon" an AMSO 1.17 Apollo 11 Full Mission Tutorial...

Hmmm Hmmm, I dont know really. It works for me. Make sure you follow the entire tutorial from the beginning or you may miss a vital setting that needs to be made in the way the IMFD settings work. I think they are at the beginning of the flight: Step 1. Open IMFD in the Left...

Sounds like a video issue This sounds like a video issue. I would recommend that you check your video card compatability with the min requirements for this version of Orbiter. Even if you cant use the viewer you can use the docing MFD.

Ok thanks that what I thought. My package is structured that way. Ya'll feel free to download and install if you dont have it yet. Makes something that isnt easy very easy.

This cant be right. Those files go in the modules folder. The PDF says so. Accept for the 3d2msh.exe file which I guess goes in the root Orbiter folder. Vinka is very vauge about the whole process of patching. I guess he didnt imagine that NON-PC savey people would be using his mods. I would...

"Vinkas Addon Questions" Hello everyone. I guess Ive been focusing on the vanilla Orbiter that I failed to get around to some of the Ship Addons. I am getting interested in some of the ships out there now that are NASA realistic ships and some of them need Vinkas Spacecraft and multistage...

Well n122vu, Thank you very much for your kind words. This tutorial began whith what I saw as a large need in the Orbiter community to have a complete step through for using the latest AMSO and IMFD (the two complement each other and the two authors work together for a complete Lunar Mission...

Main Board Cuttof "Main Board Cuttof" Ok cool. Your data looks good and almost exactly the same as mine. The next phase is to report our orbital data just after cutoff. I will as soon as I get home from work today if I can. For re-entry I want you to do something that will show you...

Affirmative "Affirmative" Yes this is a good idea. I will ammend the tutorial to read as follows: Step 26. Set the LMFD's Operation mode to: "Vel. Frame" by navigating between the 2 pages using the MOD button until you see a page with the function called "Offset Disabled" . Now move...

Ok so I guess this is boring. Hello, I am going to clean up this topic a bit on my part. It appears that I have reclessly posted the latest version of the flight plan in preceeding replys and this makes it hard for a freash viewer to see the latest version of the flightplan. I will edit my...

Main board cuttoff "Main board cuttoff" First of all thanks for your input. That is a very good Idea but the TEI is complete and covers the whole proceedure. It also works for the CSM not just the DG s. The parts that I need are fairly simple and I try and do about one a week. I...

Cool thanks Cool thanks I do appreciate that. The feedback is welcomed. The thread is now going in a direction that stands the tutorial against the real flightplan of the Apollo 11 flight. You should know that whatever you can do with Apollo AMSO you should be able to do with a similar...

Ok in the previous reply is my launchrec.csv file with a chart that shows altitude as a function of time. The file is in the OpenOffice format ".ods" but I have also included the launchrec.csv file which is the raw data that the LaunchRecordMFD creates in the Orbiter root folder.

Check out my tutorial Check out my tutorial it has a section on how to go back to earth. It uses IMFD and should work for Delta Glider with no problem. Scroll down to the section titled: Part 16 -TEI from Moon Using IMFD in the DG S From the Earth to The Moon" an AMSO 1.17 Apollo 11...

Mainboard cuttof "Mainboard cuttof" Cool! Thanks for offering your services. I would like to start with the launch phase. I want to see if we can get the exact same results from a launch. You will need 2 MFDs to begin this study. Both MFDs can be downloaded at Orbit Hangar Mods direct links...

Excellent reply. Outstanding work. Thank you for your awesome full contribution to this thread. This information is invaluable. We need to now site a seperate document or a transcript to this tutorial and site the reference to your work here as is done in the scientific process. I propose that...
