    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Maybe? It would have been the helium pressure digital display. However our pressures are kind of cheaty at the moment, you still would have seen a change.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Following up, it looks like you didnt fire your descent start pyros when you initially powered up the DPS. That is why turning off the reg immediately is killing your DPS. <PYRO> Descent-Engine-Start-Pyros 0 0.0000

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    I'll give it a look shortly and report back As it was in real life as well! It was very anticlimactic in reality and since it was a corridor control, it really wasnt time critical or super dV critical (though they did shut down early to prevent overburn, which would necessitate flipping around...

    Critical yellow warning at IVT

    Yep I would concur as well, it should warm up.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    It shouldn't kill the engine right away, either that's something incorrect in the sim or a step was missed. You don't by change have a save before your PC+2 I can check?

    Critical yellow warning at IVT

    Another thought did you press the LM with a cold CM cabin by chance?

    LM VC - Debug String Not Updating During P64

    I will defer this to @jalexb88

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Is the other regulator open? What is your descent configuration at this point? And how did you initially pressurize the DPS and do the first burn? CO2 scrubber saturation is not modeled in NASSP, so you will always have a steady state CO2 level based on the crew on board. I had this issue as...

    Critical yellow warning at IVT

    This was one of the pre saved missions? If so they probably are behind with respect to updates elsewhere in NASSP, so that is probably why your cabin temp was so low. Also, the suit temp valve redirects warm glycol flow, so if your glycol is still cool putting it to hot will only warm if the...

    Low cabin temp

    CSM ECS is a bit cheaty still. Cabin fans turn on the cabin heat heat exchangers right now. Suit temp is regulated from heat exchangers as well.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    LM PADs were a bit weird like this, yaw was not included on them because as you know it doesn't change burn direction. 13 of course had all sorts of confusion with using the LM for attitude control as well as the burns. Did you make sure the RTCC and your LM are both using PTC REFSMMAT and its...

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    This first one in the LM should be actual since you aren't performing a P52 option 1

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    We think it was an Option 9 midcourse but the upper pericynthion limit was changed to 135, this should give you an Indian ocean splash. Time of burn was 61:30 and leave inclination empty to get option 9A. Might need some other tinkering though, its been a while since I have played with that...

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Yeah they managed to do an AOT check before the first DPS burn.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    If you are using PAMFD you need to make sure the REFSMMAT selection is correct. It needs to be on "identical." Did you verify those numbers coorospont with the gimbal conversion in the LM activatiopn checklist to ensure you used the correct conversion in PAMFD? Also, in the LM, FDAI and N20...

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Considering the expedited nature, I don't think they bothered bringing up the displays/flags. They could hear the squibs fire when they pressurized and that was probably enough since they had to use LM RCS regardless. They had all necessary breakers closed at that point to pressurize it.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Haha dont worry, cycling it will only eat a little more power. Also, we cannot charge the CM bats from the LM yet, still trying to find a solution for 2 way power flow, so when you get to that point you will be manually "filling" them with scenario edits...

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    I mean I personally wouldn't want the "DEAD" to remain...also every time you load you get the alarm sound. Work around is cycle the compressor when you get the CW light until LM ECS is up. You will have to do this for entry as well as they flew entry with it off.

    Apollo 13 Launch Scenario: What should I expect?

    Correct, the battery ties were put on previously. Yep, this isolates it from the system. Did you have your suit compressor off at this point? One issue with our CM is the CO2 climbs very fast with it off as it doesn't diffuse well.

    P51 alarm

    Sure, so P51 is imu orientation. It allows the computer to orient itself based on the current state of the platform and the stars. Essentially this provides the initial reference to the stars. P52 is what actually aligns the platform to a REFSMMAT (REFerence to Stable Member MATrix). Option 1...
