Hi there.
I'm trying to complete the ASMO Apollo 11 mission. I used the great AMSO for dummies document, and everything has gone well, right up until I liftoff from the lunar surface. For some reason, no matter how many times I try, it the LM (on auto pilot) fails to reach orbit. I've tried half a dozen times, and the altitude reached varies, but generally the engine fires until I reach an altitude of 7-10K (one time it went up to like 30k), then the engine shuts down, the LM pitches and rolls onto it's side, then with RCS thrusters firing constantly, it falls back to impact the lunar surface... I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is... I've watched some videos on YouTube, but they are very old. I'm using Orbiter 2016, and the AMSO version 1.23. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
regards
Troy
