Maybe, you had some background task's who were "downing" your PC ? ACS

Blacklight, I fear your frame rate is a bit critical, especially at the very beginning of the flight. With my autopilot, a trajectory error at the very beginning of flight can greatly affect the whole flight profile and cause a later lost of control. Try the following: Set your Orbiter in...

Hi JonnyBGoode, I just used now your scenario with this exact sequence of commands, but, by me, it worked properly. The camera didn't got "lost behind". So... I don't know what can cause this on your system. But anyway, I have just one advise to you. Please prefer the AMSO command "M" to...

Thanks for the links, interesting stuff ! Yes, Ripley. Generally and theoretically speaking, Vsync can make a difference. But in the particular case of affecting my autopilot, I doubt it will, AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A MACHINE POWERFUL ENOUGH, as I said in my answer. OK, with a PC which is not...

Beta or not beta, that's not the question !!! (LOL) I don't think Vsync on or off will make a difference, as long as the computer is powerfull enough. I just made some ascent to orbit with or without Vsync and didn't see any differences in the rocket behaviors. ACS

Hi Guys, Thanks to Kuddel, I just realized that since now, I just missed this Orbiter version "100903". I am still with the previous one, the "100830". Something should have changed in this new version which obviously interfere with my Saturn V autopilot. I must investigate. ACS ----------...

So you are at "P2a patch level" and it is really strange for me, that you have autopilot disconnections at the times you said. For investigation purpose, please do the following: Desactivate the joystick. Desactivate any "Perturbations" options you may have activated. Desactivate "Damage and...

Assuming you don't have 'unlimited fuel' set, did-you loose the autopilot (the white line on the bottom with "AP" disappear) at about 5 to 7 minutes in the flight ? If yes, try to apply the patch "P2a" over AMSO version 1.19-P2. ACS

Hi Guys ! I have revisited the code of this Earth orbit injection autopilot. The first test I made revealed that even on my PC, it was relatively critical. So, I have "re-centered" tolerance margins and added some improvement to the critical part, which happen around 7 minutes and 15...

You should be able to simulate more or less accurately the Apollo 13 odyssey, starting with "Scenarios\AMSO\All mission lift off\Apollo 13" with Orbiter "Damage and failure simulation" parameter ACTIVATED. To help you, you also have "Doc\AMSO\A13-tutorial.txt" and "Doc\AMSO\apollo13.pdf" and...

Hello, This is what I wrote in the AMSO manual: Non-spherical gravity sources: AMSO is not sensitive to this feature. So the setting of this option is irrelevant. Gravity-gradient torque: Earth orbit injection autopilot trajectory precision is affected if this option is on. So it is better...

Hi Guys, The announced patch P2 for AMSO 1.19 is available on my site page: http://www.acsoft.ch/AMSO/amso.html This patch include the corrections of the previous first patch, therefore it correct the problem during the approach phase of the LM (program P64, where it is possible to change...

Yes I am almost sure the camshake module has nothing to do with this problem, but it is right to not use it with AMSO just because camera shaking function is integrated into AMSO. Nevertheless, do the following test: Deactivate all your modules, except OrbiterSound and try again to see if it...

Hi Orbinauts ! A news about AMSO: Patch #2 is in preparation ! This patch will suppress a bad CTD caused by the lunar Rover vessel, for some unfortunate users. It will also insure full compatibility with the Orbiter version 2010-P1. As you can see on this picture, the docking projector...

Hello, You should probably do something wrong. I just ran scenario "AS-506\Apollo 11 step 01.scn" with Orbiter 2010-P1 and got a perfect orbit. Check you don't have unlimited fuel set. Check you don't loose the autopilot during the ascent (the white "AP" label dissapear). This may happen with...

Interesting ! So we know it do not depend of a specific graphic hardware. Turbo, do-you remember if you crashed also inside the famous msvcr80.dll library ? ACS

Thanks Guys ! I am happy it seem to work now for everybody ! I suspect that maybe this CTD is linked with ATI graphic driver (who apparently use msvcr80.dll library). Those who suffered of this CTD, could-you report if your PC is equipped with ATI hardware ? This would be interesting to know. ACS

No !!! It's wrong !!! This archive contain a set of module dll, BUT WITHOUT PATH. The way you have done has unzipped the set into the root directory of Orbiter. You must put this set into: OrbiterRoot\Modules\AMSO\ Try it and report if it solve also the problem for you. Thanks in...

Would be nice if you can fly one of them the next few comings days and report here that, hopefully, you didn't encounter any other CTD or other major problems. As I said, the modification I made is not a real correction, but an empirical change, which apparently overturn the problem...

No, you don't need. This is the set I prefer to adopt for the official patch, as it do not introduce a small hang up during the LM extraction. ACS
