thanks for these nice technical updates Indy, anyway I splashdown and I am happy to report back to the team that my A8 mission was "smooth" for what concerns all MCCs uplinks and checklists steps...now I just uploaded the new version 1870 and started again A11, but his is another story :salute:
Hi, sorry ... I didn't know this issues was well know, I found an old treat looking around ... so ok, I did the P06 CMC standby procedure followed by the setting of the DRIFT and REFSMMAT flags as indicated, and now everything works, I just made the MCC-5 burn and all stars were according the...
Hi to all,
I started Apollo 8 again from scratch using NASSP 1858 to enjoy P22s while in lunar orbit to get more acquainted with moon landing marks without stress due to the LM :) , all went well until MCC-5 when I got the ENTRY REFSMMAT and I was supposed to do P52 REFSMMAT at approx 103h GET...
Hi Indy,
Thanks for the hints.
I tried now to launch from the default scenario “Launch test” arriving into orbit.
I set up the EXE page with the lift off time and set Atlantis as TARGET (photo 1);
you see I am at about 15min MET and the TTA is approx. 30min ahead, so I wanted to set a...
Hallo "diogom",
nice to see your new update.
I would like to ask you something about the rendezvous sequence ... I still didn't fly a full rendezvous, but i was curious to try the default scenery when the Soyuz is already docked.
If I correctly understood your pdf, the Soyuz was capable to do...
Hi Indy, Hi Urwume, and others...
Not sure if this treat is still “alive” but I will dear to ask anyway.
I know SSU development was halted, but I managed to get the version 3285 up and running and I also downloaded the “Shuttle FDO MFD” from Indy, not sure if I got the last version of SSU...
Hi, just splashdown ....:cheers:
I really enjoyed A10, it allowed me to practicing the LM without too much stress as in A11 or A9 (with complications derived by the atmospheric drag); the views of the moon landing and landmark sites during all P22's were very nice ....
before to move on I will...
Hi, Indy and RCS...
about the DVs I got in MCC-1:
1st time I got:
V06 81 +00002, -00010, -00023
V06 59 +00017, -00010, -00015
N85 don’t remember, didn’t wrote down.

V06 59 +00017, -00010, -00015
I got the F 50 18, upon ENTER I got V16 85...
Hi thanks for the fast reply.
In the scenarios:
situation at about TPI +8m waiting to see +12:00 on the DSKY to hit PRO ... note: once i got the next mark at about +11:33 and so I hit PRO (when the COMP ACTY lt was off or blinking) ... and I got the 1703 alarm later on; next i tried to wait...
Hi sorry to be back again.
I tried all over again from CSI, CDH, TPI and TPM.
Q1) For MCC1 I waited until the TPI+12m mark before to hit PRO …but it took more than 2 mins to give out the answers so by the time I got to P41 I got the same “TIG skipped alarm”. As I was following the progresses...
Hi,
I started from the “Apollo 10 - 14 - Before CSI TIG-6min” scenario to practice again the rendezvous…I managed the CSI, CDH, TPI and I am on my way to the 1st MCC with P35, but I always get the 1706 alarm … as apparently I am always too late to call up P41.
But something is not clear:
the...
ahahahah...as simple as that....run out of propellant ... ok so need to be more conscious about them....i will try to improve.
i started from undocking with full tanks so i guess i was not careful enough....never mind, I will re-do all over again practice will help to sort it out.
thanks
Sorry I am still back with some new issues…
1) With reference to photo 1 taken at the end of the CSI burn, at approx. 103:40:00, I noticed that I got a red flag on top of the THRUST indicator; and it there also when I did the CDH burn, at approx. 104:40:00, see photo 2. Is normal at this time...
thanks Indy.
q1) so I did indeed wrong .... if I read -0.3 fps doing V90 in the LM I should have entered +0.3 in N81 ....
q3) AHHHHHHHHHH...forgot the SVs as of cousre all CSM activities were not done ... I will just try once to uplinks the SVs via RTCC and call up V83E and check ...
Hi, managed to get P32 working and I did the CSI burn and now proceeding for P33 and CDH burn;
but I guess I did something stupid again so please allow me to ask for clarity.
Q1) about V90 “Out of plane display” – I called V90E (in the LM computer) and read out the Y-dot velocity, in my case...
thank you very much ... ok i will do as you suggested, and happy to see it was just a silly error, thank for your time, and the doc in the link you provided it is really nice, just started reading and already found some answers, tomorrow at office i will print it out and study before to proceed...
thank you for helping .... in the zp the scenario with the alarm 604 is the one when I put the TPI time at 105:18:30 (10 min later; sorry the 1st time I got 604 i didn't save it);
the other is when I need to start P32 ... the PAD are available by "5" in the MCC menu....
but, GENRALLY speaking...
Hi Indy,
thank you.
I now arrive to the moment to run P32 for CSI and I managed somehow P20, RR lock on and Marks...thanks for the valuable inputs (V06 N49 never shown up again so far).
Now I got the CSI PADs with the CSI and TPI TIGs (photo 1).
I run P32, entered the PAD CSI and TPI TIG times...
Hi,
I managed to arrive to the moment when I got the P30 LM INSERTION Pads…before move on with the rendezvous part, I would like ask for some help.
Q1) I saw that P20 was already working in the background when asked to do P30 to load the insertion PAD, but before that I got a 06 49 display...
