Implementation of the minor ascent anomalies during Apollo 13. Quotes from Apollo by the Numbers: "...the S-II center engine shut down at 000:05:30.64, 132 seconds earlier than planned." "The remaining S-II engines burned 34 seconds longer than planned and shut down at 000:09:52.64. After...

AMSO is still good in my taste. It's like best add-on for visual effects in Orbiter!

To prevent that from happening, try to put 565=(0,0,0) right before jettison. It shuts down the Soyuz engine.

I have a problem with Jekka's Vostok 1 add-on. Since a guidance file is not included, I have created my own by centering it on the Otto1 guidance file. When I press P, I hear the countdown and the Vostok rocket lifts off as planned. The problem is that the rocket does not even pitch according to...

The only way it could appear in the VC in the current release is to press [TAB] while in the VC. TLI, LOI, and TEI. Even better, a display with everything including oxygen, temperature, distance traveled, fatigue meter, etc.

Thanks DLR! Is it about the size of Skylab or is it smaller or larger?

I really would want an ATDA (a.k.a. "The Angry Alligator") for Gemini IX. The launcher would be a nice addition but would not be necessary. I found a thread with this request: http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=1627. 80mileshigh and Saturn V actually made it already but has not been...

The "wet workshop" part of the mission could be modeled by using a VC. Does anyone know of an image, site, or information on how this "wet workshop" would look like?

Camera shaking variation in Saturn V, CSM , and LM. Wild shaking during the Saturn V launch phase, mild shaking when the SPS is fired in the CSM, and little or no shaking at all when the descent engine is fired in the LM.

For convenience, I have located patches to improve Mercury and Gemini. 1. This patch fixes the "pancake chute" in Mercury: http://www.ibiblio.org/mscorbit/beta/project_mercury_061203.zip 2. This patch fixes the CTD when the Gemini capsule deploys its chutes...

Congratulations Discovery!

If ever EVA audio is implemented, it is absolutely necessary to include the "first step" audios. For a lunar EVA, lunar bootprints would be nice. Driving the LRV through craters would also be but will probably be implemented when AMSO has its own version in Orbiter's next release.

There should be a convention for space enthusiasts, maybe like a Comic-Con kind? If Orbiter was distributed there, it will be total madness!

What I was talking about: YouTube - Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) Launch and Docking

I was just wondering of what will happen to Orbiter when it has expanded as far as retail stores and maybe as a video game in the Playstation or Xbox series... :hmm: Maybe an Orbiter craze would start...
