Hi again, this is the 2nd part of my previous post, in which I described the NAVIGATIONAL problems I faced so far to enter into lunar orbit. 1) After TLI my MCC-1 was scrubbed, I did only MCC-2 with SPS, MCC-3 and MCC-4 were also scrubbed. Is it normal? 2) When the message of MCC-4 being...

QUESTIONS Hi, doing Apollo 11 MCC mission from lift off after updating to orbiter beta r90 and NASSP v8 rev.1756. I have some “general information questions” as well as “navigation problems”. I will make two post to keep each topic self contained for others to follow if have same issues as me...

Hi thanks for the prompt answer...after further negative trials i decide to delete orbit and download everything again from zero...don't know if this was the issue, but I installed the new v1756 on a fresh new orbiter beta with new client...and so far so good, I Lift off with Apollo 11 and all...

Hi, I just downloaded the last NASSP version 1756, and I wanted to start Apollo 11 using the “Apollo 11 MCC scenario” starting from T-4h…everything went well until I had to do the SM RCS activation procedure…at the end of it, when requested to set RCS indicator to CM 2 (photo 1) the checklist...

thanks, I will do, I am just downloading the latest revision and do some preparation staff (printing docs, checklists, flight plans, readings all posts) before starting A11....surely I will be back soon in the forum with questions about the LM I guess...new craft and new computers to...

dear Max-Q thanks a lot for you tips...I tried and it worked like a charm...now I can move on with orbiter beta r90 more confidently as at least I must not to worry to find out the corrects spots/landmarks when requested...at least if i don't get good numbers i will know it is me doing something...

sorry I attached by mistake all photos twice...don't know how to remove from my old post....really sorry :(

Hi and thank you ALL for your valuable hints/explanations... :hailprobe: I can confirm the HRZ CHK was spot on, at DET 43:00 the Earth HRZ was on the 31.7 degree line with P=267, PAD said 268…I had to activate everything in Orbiter to can spot the dark Earth…grids, celestial coordinates...

Hi to all. After 1 month I completed Apollo 8 from Lift-off to Splashdown “almost” without a glitch using Orbiter2016 with MOON high resolution textures and NASSP v8 version 1749 (I know I know, I should use Orbiter Beta, but reading others in the forum I “think” to have understood that Apollo...

Hi to all, I was looking around for vAGC topics and I found this very interesting post (even for a not programmer, but for historic interest and follow up NASSP user), what is still not clear to me is which SW is currently used/implemented in others NASSP missions/vessels, namely: NASSP A7 and...

Thanks Max-Q, got it. A8 than A11 then the others .... 10 -> 7 -> 9 ....in order of difficulties.

thanks to all, highly appreciated all your words, I will start a mission from lift off using MCC to go step by step, and yes maybe I will start A8 first, and maybe A7 later on just to practice the rendezvous before attempting missions with the LM ...happy to be back here. :cheers:

Hi to every bodies, I am back... I am sorry to have just disappear from this forum for one year, incredible but it is already one year ago when I was using NASSP v1538 moving my first steps in Apollo 9 learning to fly the LM ... unfortunately life was not easy on me, I lost my mother end of...

Hi Thanks, I red Collin's book but I never heard about the other two, I will look for them surely...(y)

Hi to all, one question: sometime (not always) it happens to me, that starting from a saved scenarios when the time come from the checklists to get a MCC update (it can be a simple SV update or a S056 or a maneuver PAD) nothing happen. Of course this again happen during time compression periods...

Hi to all, I tried as Indy suggested and everything worked well, and I found the ORDEAL initialization with V83 well before the time to do P22 but I didn't "conecting the dots" so to speak...so now everything make sense. Anyway, I missed a lot the Earth Surface Markers to make a proper job ...

very nice stories here to know about...still searching/reading in Wikipedia a lot in these days...

Hi, I did what I mentioned in my last post and it worked well. I just anted to confirm the procedure for somebody (eventually). safe virtual flights.

Hi GLS ... sorry I don't know why I didn't see your previous post. Thanks again for your kindness. Paolo

Hi thanks to all for the fast reply. to keep this post self-contained, about ex Apollo astronauts who flown on STS missions I think to have found: Brand (STS 5, 41B, 35) Lousma (STS 3) Mettingly (STS 4, 51C) ... the rest of "Nasa group 5" astronauts still alive who flown on STS didn't fly any...
