Hi to ALL,
I am sorry to ask this silly question but I have some doubts about what I am doing ... due to the long time to complete a mission I had to save many times the mission I am doing at different stages ... normally when I want to save the scenario at the stage I am, I just make sure the AGC is in P00 state, SC Control SCS and Mode-FREE, todown Apollo MFD and checklist MFD and than call up F4 and hit EXIT, than I go to "save current scenario" and give a name (I am using of course Orbiter 2010P1 and NASSP v7.0 as I am currently doing Apollo 8 and 7).
Q1) is this the normal procedure? or is there a better one? more safe....meaning "more save" to save the status of the sim?
I ask you this because many times I get problems to reload the saved scenario .... sometime I got the GET timer showing all ZEROs .... sometime I didn't see the CSM in external view and if it does so after few minutes I got a crash ... sometime I got the PROG alarm on with the AGC still in P00 .... sometime I even got the NO ATT light ON and there were no way to get back to the AGC to run .... most of the time after trying to reload the same saved scenarios 2-3 times at the end it works and I can go on ... but sometime cannot, and I end up losing many hours of saved scenarios and I had to restart from many hours before .... normally i saved a situation every 3-4 h of simulation time .....
Q2) for the same reasons, sometime I also cannot load the scenarios stored in the Apollo Hystorical Mission folder for practicing different stages, for example I tried more than 5 times now to load the entry scenario but i never get it properly running, I even cannot get P61 running while loading Entry scenario before separation.....I just got a PROG alarm, and if I try to put V09N05 to see which kind of alarm I just got an OPR ERR and nothing more....
might be my old computer??? but for NASSP v7.0 it should not be an issue as it was released in 2017 (if I am not wrong).
anyway....I tried also with some saved scenarios in NASSP v8.0 (again for Apollo 7 and 8 rentry preparaion) but still I got all these wierd effects.....
don't know....very frustrated....some of you have any clues about these strange phenomena????
thank you and sorry for asking something so obvious as "how to save scenarios" .... ashame of me but I do hope to do something wrong....
thanks again for reading me.
Paolo.
