Hello everyone, after a hiatus lasting many years, in the last weeks I managed to (barely) successfully fly the entire Apollo 11 mission from 4 hours to lift-off to splashdown two times in a row using the last NASSP 8 beta. As I'm getting more and more proficient in the procedures and...

Hello all. Here is my problem. After my old laptop said me goodbye a week ago, I bought a new one. At first, I downloaded all the latest drivers and OS updates. Then, downloaded Orbiter 2006-P1 base package and launched it to see if everything was working well. The scenario was "Cape Canaveral"...

The problem is that I have a limited connection: I can download only 50 MB of stuff per day. CVS don't...

I'm a "fan" of Shuttle Fleet. I've always used it to do space shuttle missions, and the awesome STS exp pack with his missions make me crazy! But, I've never used Space Shuttle Ultra. What are the differences between them? Once I downloaded SSU 1.0.6, but it seems to don't work properly, so I...

Can anyone help me? I want to do realistics STS missions to the ISS. I'm using Shuttle Fleet, ISS Fleet and the expansion pack for the Shuttle Fleet, so I have the STS Guidance and Control MFD, GPC MFD... all this stuff. But I don't know exactly when I have to do NC1 burn, NC2, and what...

Can anyone tell me how many Progress missions had flown to the ISS? I can't find the dates of launches and deorbits. I want to do some support missions to the ISS using real data. For the STS missions I found useful informations on Wikipedia, but nothing about Progress. If anyone knows these...
