My configuration is OK, I'm just stupid. I didn't understand that this is a THC only procedure, the +X thrust occurs when you turn the THC. No Numpad 6 key required. I was leaving the THC in the CCW position WAY too long (trying to figure out why my RCS was firing) and that was causing my tumble...

OK, I think I've found my error. Here's what I expected to happen: Rotate the THC, bang, separation and the panels start to open. Then thrust forward. Then THC to neutral. Here's what actually happens: Rotate THC, the CSM RCS fires thrusting forward (I didn't expect this, since I had not input...

Good morning, Running the Apollo 8 mission. I'm following the PAMFD checklist, I don't have many documents specific to this flight. I just (attempted) to perform the CSM/LV separation. When I turned the THC counterclockwise, I got separation, but the SM RCS started firing continuously, and the...

Good morning, Killing some time while performing the Apollo 7 PTC test. This is a question I should have asked a long time ago.... When maneuvering the CSM to an attitude, which method would use the least RCS fuel? Manually or using V49? I ask because when I'm using V49 to maneuver, my RCS...

MID-MISSION NASSP APOLLO 7 FLIGHT EVALUATION REPORT: PROGRAMS P22 AND P23 1.0 INTRODUCTION THIS IS A PRELIMINARY EVALUATION OF THE FLIGHT CREW'S PERFORMANCE WHILE PERFORMING THE P22 and P23 PROGRAMS. TESTS WERE PERFORMED WHILE CONDUCTING THE NASSP APOLLO 7 SIMULATION IN EARTH ORBIT. 1.1...

What might cause a 1301 alarm? (AOH says to record N08, notify MSFN, and continue. So, I'm informing you :confused:) I'm not sure what's been going on, but when I ran the V82 to set up the ORDEAL I got a 1301 alarm. I Assumed that I had performed the P27 incorrectly, so I carefully re-entered...

Hello, Trying to accomplish the voice update P27. I'm using the PAMFD checklist and following along with the AOH procedure, but I'm doing something wrong. I've got the PAD, I key in V71E, I see P27 with F 21 01, R1 and R2 are blank, and R3 shows 00304. Now I'm supposed to input the PAD data...

OK, I tried a P52 using the moon as one of the marks, then tried the P23 again and ended up with the same (incorrect) orientation. So, it looks like your explanation is correct and there's a software issue. (But don't discount the extremely high possibility that I'm doing something wrong) So...

Good morning. Here's my next point of confusion: performing the Apollo 7 P23 using a star and the lunar near horizon. Initially I launched into the P23s attempting to do a star/earth horizon sighting, but I found it impossible to discern the earth horizon (I believe this actually was the case...

Weird. I had run the sim for over an hour after installing your fix, bouncing around different panels as I did the P22s. I was using the 2D view, and occasionally scrolled over to panel 3 to look at the skin temp, never saw the needle. After reading your last post I just went to the panel 3...

Hi Again, Your fix of my scenario seems to have worked fine, I was able to flail my way through the P22 marks. One small issue: the arrow for the fuel cell skin temp indicator seems to be missing. Is there something I can tweak to get that bacK? Thanks.

Ahh, Thermodynamics. Got through the courses but kind of struggled. I'd be the guy asking you if I could copy your notes. Thanks for the fix. P22 here I come!

Here it is. Thanks.

Hi. I know a similar issue was addressed a few months ago, but I think my situation is a bit different because I'm in the middle of a flight. I'm almost halfway through the Apollo 7 mission, at 122:00. When I started the flight a while back I was using NASSP version 1951. As we discussed...

Re-did the SPS-3. Not entirely sure what was going on the first time, but this time it worked the way it's supposed to. Definitely no auto ignition, I had to mash the THRUST ON button. One weird thing I did notice, for some reason when I re-ran the scenario from a save point around 74+11 the...

That's probably it. My last update was v.1922 back in August. :oops: I'll still go back and re-do SPS-3. I'm curious what actually happened, as opposed to what I remember. Thanks

Sorry, I didn't explain that clearly. My question concerned the second part of the check, after gimbal motors P2 and Y2 are on. The PAMFD checklist steps ask us to perform the MTVC check with the THC in the CW position (I get MTVC), then says "verify no MTVC" (I can't with the THC in CW), then...

Good Morning. I'm slogging my way through the Apollo 7 flight, I'm 122 hours into it and (following the PAMFD checklist) getting ready to do some P22s. But I haven't seen any uplinks (LAT/LONG) on which landmarks I'm going to want to mark. What have I missed here? Also not sure if I have the...

Greetings and Happy New Year! I'm running the Apollo 7 simulation, at 28:38 into the flight and running P20. I completed the first set of marks, recycled with V32 and I'm looking at F 16 45. Starting the second set of marks following the PAMFD checklist I enter V57E, I get F 51, make the SXT...

After going back through all my saves, ALL my RTCC_TLANDs were zero. I started this simulation using the Apollo - Mission Scenarios - 10 - 01 - Before Launch T-20min scenario. In that scenario the RTCC_TLAND is already zero. In fact TLAND is zero through the first five canned scenarios. It's...
