Hey all!
I'm an experienced Orbiter user, particularly with the XR2, and am just now venturing into the Apollo missions with NASSP 8. But I'm having trouble getting started.
I want to start simple, then work my way up in difficulty. I've seen the excel checklists that come with the install, I've seen tutorials, I've seen automatic checklist execution.
Few questions:
Might have a few more, but this should get me started. Appreciate the support and guidance to continue learning!
I'm an experienced Orbiter user, particularly with the XR2, and am just now venturing into the Apollo missions with NASSP 8. But I'm having trouble getting started.
I want to start simple, then work my way up in difficulty. I've seen the excel checklists that come with the install, I've seen tutorials, I've seen automatic checklist execution.
Few questions:
Do the Apollo 11 (as an example) scenarios run themselves? Launch seems to be automated. Are the TLI burn and further maneuvers automated as well? Or is it just something special about launch being automatic?
I've seen tutorials like this (https://www.dropbox.com/s/adocchy11h2mh9j/apollo11fltplan_v2.pdf?dl=0), which are only a few pages long. But then I've seen checklists (the ones that come with the install) that seem to be hundreds of pages long. How do I know which to use?
Are the tutorials the "must-do" actions and then the actions in the checklist perform no real function?
Might have a few more, but this should get me started. Appreciate the support and guidance to continue learning!
