Hello, I recently installed Orbiter 2024, everything seems to be working well. But at Cape Canaveral with the ship positioned for takeoff at nighttime there are no centerline lights on the runway. I tried re-installing Orbiter but I still don't see the lights. Any suggestions? Thanks Edit...

Hello, I'm running the Apollo 12 mission. I'm at the point after the LM liftoff and insertion where we're starting P20 on both vessels. When I start P20 in the CSM, I'm not seeing the LM in the sextant. If you get a chance, could you look at the .scn and let me know where I've gone wrong...

I've been getting this for a few days now, anytime I try to search for a topic. Is there something I can do to allow a search to work? Thanks

Hello, Working through the Apollo 2 scenario. I'm 5+46 into the flight, after SPS-1. I was looking ahead on the MFD Checklist to find where I'm supposed to launch Spider, and I see that the checklist expects me to be conducting the rendezvous at 22:25. But looking at the RTCC Inputs guidance...

Hello, I thought I'd give the Apollo 2 mission a try, and I hit a glitch right away. Immediately after liftoff the LES fires and the CM separates from the launch vehicle. I experimented a bit. Obviously turning the EDS switch off avoids the abort. More specifically if I leave the EDS in Auto...

Hello, Finally replaced the old computer I had been using, and I'm slowly re-installing all the Orbiter downloads I used to have. One issue I'm having is with the XR-2 when using Orbiter Beta. Initially when opening a scenario on the runway the XR-2 was tilted about 30 degrees. I saw a fix for...

Hello, Just finished installing Orbiter 2016 onto a new computer. Everything seems to be up and running, but I was unable to get Orbiter Sound 5.0 to work. The download and installation seemed to go OK, Orbiter Sound showed up in the Modules section (I checked the box), and the configuration...

Hello, I just finished installing Orbiter 2016 onto a new computer. Everything seems to be up and running fine, except that when I select Planetarium mode (F9), I am unable to get the ecliptic or celestial grids to display. I have both selected on the dialog, but I'm not seeing anything. I also...

Hello. I'd like some information about any Orbiter 2016 add-on's for the STS. For a few years I've been enjoying the (Incredible!) NASSP Apollo simulation. But I've reached a point where I'm repeating the Apollo missions, and though I haven't mastered Apollo I thought I'd take a break and try...

Hello, I'm getting ready for re-entry on Apollo 11. I'm following the PAMFD Checklist steps to check the CM RCS, and when I'm checking the ring 2 thrusters I seem to get a stuck thruster. Could someone take a look at this save, and tell me what I've configured incorrectly? Thanks

Good Morning, Running through the Apollo 11 PAMFD LM Surface Checklist to get ready for liftoff, and following along with the actual Surface checklist. Somehow at about 123:10 the PAMFD checklist kicks me into running a P52, pretty sure we want P57 here (SUR-55)? Did I mash a wrong button...

Hello, The Apollo 11 Surface Checklist (and PAMFD Checklist) refer to the YO YO, but reading through the Lunar Surface Journal I don't see any mention of it except for a editor's comment at 111:22:34, "Later crews will wear a device called the yo-yo...". I'm just curious if the 11 crew...

Hello, I'm running the Apollo 11 flight again. I downloaded ggalfi's landing site textures hoping to see West crater etc, but the simulation is putting me down well short of the area incorporating his textures. I'm guessing this was the originally planned landing site? I know that Eagle ended up...

Good Morning, I'm running the Apollo 13 scenario. I started using the Apollo 13 Launch option (vs the Apollo 13 Launch and Landing choice), which I believe will simulate the O2 Tank 2 problem? I'd like to get a better understanding of what I should expect to happen as I approach the 55:55 point...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
