Ok great, thank you. Il'l give that a try!

Hopefully this is an easy one to answer! Am on Lunar surface with egress checklist complete, and cabin pressure at zero.... but I can't work out how to open the LM hatch! Is there a click area somewhere that I'm missing? Cheers, Alex

Ah brill, glad I'm not the only one! I'll try manually selecting another star then (y) Thank you!

OK thanks. Guess you just have to bypass the mark when this happens! Cheers, Alex

Couple of quick questions on P23 if I may... When you are initially asked to mark the horizon using fixed line of sight, are you expected to manouevre the spacecraft using RCS so its exact? Or is somewhere near the correct side of the earth close enough? Secondly, on one or two of the...

Just realised I hadn't enabled the function :salute:! Thanks, apologies for stupid questions!

Hi all, Am enjoying the new CM VC, but can't work out how to use MFD's at the same time. Have been using the AOM for checklists up until now, but starting to get harder to follow! Any hints appreciated. Thanks, Alex

They weren't originally switched on, but when so the RSI works perfectly! Not sure why I hadn't got them on ....... I know the checklist timeline had got screwed up somewhere during the mission and I've had to call each checklist manually. Same for the REFSMMAT, am not sure in all honesty...

Thanks for that! Very helpful diagram, just what I've been looking for. I'll have a go using the CMC angles as you suggest. Even in my CMC controlled entry the RSI stays stubbornly pointing up. Have been thinking either this is normal behaviour or I may have set up the EMS incorrectly...

Thanks (y)

Hi All, I have just finished flying Apollo 11 from launch to splashdown (with a significant amount of help from members of this board!!). Feels great to have finally done it .... thanks for an excellent simulation(y). One thing I do fancy having a go at now is a manually flown entry. Has...

Ahh ok thanks. I have an on going issue where the flightplan has not kept up with the mission (I have to manually check the times and select the right procedures). So there is an 'Entry' checklist that's selectable?

Hi, Is there currently a re-entry checklist available for Apollo 11? Have got to the 189 hour point and MCC 7 has been scrubbed. That's where flightplan runs out for me! Have tried a trawl of the internet for a document but to no avail. Cheers, Alex

Great, thanks (y)

Hi all, Firstly apologies for the fairly basic nature of this question. I've had a look through old threads, plus the AOH but still can't find what I need! Am trying to perform an auto manoeuvre using the DAP and V 49. To give context, this is to get into TEI burn attitude at 134:30 on Apollo...

Ah ok that makes sense. Thank you for the explanation! Cheers, Alex

So I've just had a rather embarrassing revelation... Had been taking the TIG of TPI to be 127:04:27 ..... from the original PAD. I had been looking for everything too early. :salute: Didn't realise that the time had slipped (guessing that new time would have been uplinked?) When I waited a...

Ok thanks! So I've done that, proceeded through the checklist. Strangely, I still don't get a blanking DSKY at -0:35. Also to other odd things I've experienced: In ATT HLD, when I try and translate forward in Z axis, the LM tumbles end over end (almost as if my centre of mass is wrong)...

Thought I'd just bump this thread rather than make a new one..... Have got as far as making the TPI burn (and seem to be roughly in the right place). However I can't seem to get P34 to run properly. It does not blank at TIG -35 seconds so something definitely seems wrong! Wondered if someone...

indy, Thank you for such a comprehensive response. The extra background on what happened on the actual mission really adds to the experience! I'll go have another go and be patient with it! Cheers, Alex
