As done with Apollo 7, in this thread I will do a debrief of the various Flight Days of Apollo 8, as flown on my recent real time simulation. I believe that this debriefs help users and provide feedback to the NASSP Team.
I considered the flight days as follows, on a different manner as on...
Hello all,
Just completed the training of the 26-ish hours of activity of FD-4! (The lunar day).
Now focusing on reentry. On the "Apollo 8 - 12 - Entry Preparations T+142h40min.scn" scenario I get first a Suit Compressor light, then it turns off and then a Cryo Press alarm and then I observed...
Hello all,
Getting ready for the mission. When practicing SEP & Transposition, I found myself with a black S-IVB "LM Adapter":
Is this an issue because of shadows? Is this the correct color? Do I have a texture issue?
I was running release 1881.
Best regards,
AFAIK and IIRC, only switch "setters" for XR vessels (XR-1,2,5...). But there was a "click" function in Orb:Connect, again, IIRC.
I believe that if using Orbiter Master/Slave you have the limitation that switches on cabins will not be reproduced between sims. For this I would recommend...
Thanks all for your feedback regarding P23; I will not worry too much about it then, we will see how it goes during the mission and ask you there if required. We will do all the runs, and there are a lot of them :D
Quick question: During Prelaunch checks, the ΔV CG switch position is checked...
Yeah, that is what I switch to after the Auto Maneuver completes, but earth/moon horizon keeps moving (just a little bit, but enough to be unconfortable and cause bad results).
As I said I will post some descriptive videos. Maybe this weekend...
SSU can be used with Orbiter 2016 if you compile it yourself.
There are instructions for doing so here:
https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/how-to-setup-an-up-to-date-ssu-installation-for-orbiter-2016.27769/
Please be aware that SSU is in alpha.
Best regards,
Dear all,
Since I completed the RTS of Apollo 7, I am preparing the next one, Apollo 8. As you know my goal is to make one of these every 6 months. Apollo 8 is ready on the launchpad for an may 18 launch.
As on the Apollo 8 training last year and on Apollo 7, I will lift-off at 7:51 CEST...
