Question Is there an "Apollo" add-on, or do I just look for scenarios?

[ColonelMcCauley]

I have downloaded the Orbiter program, and I'd like to run Apollo. Do I start by downloading an Apollo specific add-on?

There is a comment in a recent post that purports to supplement the User Manual and present 'all the info necessary' to use this add on. It suggests I start with Apollo 8, but offers no info as to finding this scenario(?) or how to load/install this add on...

Hello,

The subforum you are in is for the addon Project Apollo - NASSP. NASSP is an addon for Orbiter.

I believe this is the post you are referring to: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/nassp-quick-start-guide-and-extra-info-for-newcomers.42078/ which offers some tips and tricks for new users.

Also pinned in the same sub-forum is installation guide: https://www.orbiter-forum.com/threads/nassp-8-installation-guide.36801/

Depending on what you're looking for you might also consider AMSO (Apollo Mission Sim for Orbiter) - for Orbiter 2016:

Freeware AMSO pour Orbiter

Also, there is the 'Multistage2015 Saturn Rockets for Orbiter 2010' package from 1987VCRProductions. Many Apollo missions are included here, as well as ASTP and some Skylab stuff. Required dependencies (including AMSO and NASSP) are listed in the included documentation:

Multistage2015 Saturn Rockets for Orbiter 2010 P1

Imported from OHM

• 1987VCRProductions
• Launchers

Both of these are older (compared to the current iteration of NASSP), but they still have a lot to offer (assuming you can track down the necessary dependencies).
