I see many basic questions about SPS burns, or CSM attitude change.
All answered by @indy91 , but I recommend that, if you are starting out in NASSP, to go to "learning" missions like Apollo 7 or Apollo 8, were you will learn a lot about different SPS burn modes and another CSM related...
Did you install the correct D3D9 client for Orbiter Beta?

or stable:

Finally! The Integral lights!
But... Isn´t that too dark? I tried Reentry, the other sim, and had the same thought. Was the CM really dark? Or that is because we are used to the "bright" 2D views?
Best regards,
Did I read somewhere that the flame was lit on Beijing, during the Opening Ceremony, instead of in Olympia? If so, how did they do that, being nightime?
Or the Lightning Ceremony at Olympia is performed only for the Summer Games?
That is your output, wich is calculated by Solver (an Excel or LibreOffice Calc feature). Cannot remember how it was used exactly, but here are some handwritten notes, translated from spanish.
Best regards,
Seems that you are not doing the deorbit burn correctly. You should be at 400000 ft (EI) and a RTGO of 4472 nm IIRC.
Take a look at this thread:

Is your Flight Controller Power switch to ON? (On the front panels, can´t remember panel numbers)
If you expect to control the Shuttle by joystick, is your joystick enabled on Orbiter?
Do this drops happen on LEO (Apollo 7, Apollo 9)? If so, it may be because of particles around the spacecraft (urine/waste dumps). We discovered that on my Apollo 7 RTS. (Don´t know if related, just :mytwocents: )
Hello, yeah, I have it on "resolved" because of this recomendation by @ggalfi https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/v8-release-work-thread.36128/post-583566:
Also, I used "resolved" on the whole Apollo 7 and didn´t had this "issue"...
Maybe I should learn about "Direct" and "Resolved" as the...
Hello guys,
Don´t know if doing something wrong. When moving the optics around during P52 or P23, on manual mode, optics seem to be locked around the place where the CMC leaves them after moving to the star. When I press WASD, they seem to be returning to some origin point.
I believe I had...
Hey guys
I am practising Apollo 8 and I think I got to a glitch. I am at GET 05:20:00 and I ran P21. However it never finishes, and State vector seems as stuck around 68:53:36 (V16N38).
I did two of the three P23 runs.
Can you check if something is wrong?
Best regards.
