Wholly Crap!!
Wholly Crap!!
Damn, I suck. Sorry, I guess I need to fix the tutorial now to make this more evident to people.
So question, changing the AB throttle down in the configuration menu of IMFD didn't give you a little "Set Value" window that looks like this?
...and when...

Ok
Um. Well Im not an admin or a monitor so I guess I was just offering my view that your issue is not a version issue to my knowledge. I could be wrong. I would be willing to help you use the IMFD correctly because to my knowledge Orbit Eject should not be set to use Course to do a lower...

My Email to Dr. Williams
Guys and gals of the Orbiter Forums, I have just emailed Dr. Williams to see if he can shed some light on where the moon was at Apollo 8's launch time of UTC Saturday Dec 21, 12:51:00 1968.
Here is the email in it's entirety:

Ya this seems to be a question that we may need to address to NASA. I will look into the channels that are needed to ask this question of NASA. I will look at the Official Apollo 8 Page from NASA to see if there is any information...

Hey Jarmo
Hey Jarmo

Hmmm. Well I have just made a Help thread on why I cant even get IMFD 5.1j to work on my PC with a vanilla Orbiter 2006 P1. I have also asked Jarmo in a seperate thread to make versions like 5.1g and h available to us. It could have something to do with version 5.1j...
Hello all,
Im having a problem with IMFD 5.1j showing up in my list of MFDs after extracting it to a vanilla Orbiter 2006 P1 build 060929 and activating it under the modules tab of Orbiter.
I have installed the MS VC++ 2005 Redistributable Package as directed on Jarmo Nikkanen's site.
