Hi I've been adapting to the VC, which is looking great. However, the debug string for use when "eyes out" in the final landing phase appears not to refresh at all when the "Mode Sel" switch is in "Ldg Radar" (per checklist). It does refresh, however, when Mode Sel is in PGNS. This may be a...

Hi all Just curious if anyone has tried an AGS-guided orbit insertion, using the stock Apollo 11 scenario, just before lunar liftoff (no. 17)? I find it consistently launches into a ~77k foot insertion altitude, despite the target altitude (232) being 60k feet. I’ve followed the AGS procedures...

Hi Folks. Stumbled across this non-Orbiter application: external FDAI project. https://github.com/jabadiagm/Bola8 I’m not familiar with python or its interface but this appears to be a very nice graphical depiction of the FDAI. Whether it can be interfaced with other software to make it useful...

Hi team Using the latest build (1678) and the default mission scn (Apollo 11 - 05 - Before SIVB Sep), I’m practising TD&E. I’ve noticed that after CSM/LV sep, and upon commencing the pitch up move under CMC control (pitch accel cmd), the pitch-up induces a noticeable yaw rate, much more than...

Hi Team Just wanted to draw a couple of anomalies to the VC developers' attention. Not sure if this is unique to my system. These observations were made while sitting on the pad pre-launch: 1) FDAI 1 error needles slowly disappeared. After a while it became evident this was because the 8 ball...

I’m interested in simulating entry using the revised (actual) landing coordinates, in light of the weather issues at the original planned coordinates. Any ideas how to do this, using (for example) RTCC MFD? If I’m not mistaken, no DV or other burns were conducted after the decision to move the...

Hi Use the latest build (1597), I’m having great difficulty getting the CSM VHF Ranging to work in Apollo 11, just after undocking and DOI. I follow the steps to activate VHF ranging per the Apollo 11 Operations Checklist F10-20, and am running P20 (V87 gets me the tracker light on the DSKY)...

Using the latest beta build, I practised the LM ejection procedures (using both a quicksave scn from previous builds, as well as the stock A11 mission scn no. 05 “Before S-IVB Separation T+3h+15min”). All went well (T&D, pressurisation) until the actual LM ejection. The separation switch does...

Hi again Using the latest modules, I was trying to switch from IU to CMC control, and then to manual control. After launching Apollo 8, I switch LV Guidance switch to CMC, key V46E, and switch to SCS. My control inputs are reflected in movement of the attitude error needles, but the saturn...

1. Having tried a couple of Apollo 8 re-entries, one automatic and the other manual, I find the AGC’s roll commands easy enough to interpret, and accurate enough to get close to the calculated splashdown with manual control. The EMS, however, is less easy to interpret. Having saved the bitmap...

Hi Is it possible to enable the keyboard control of the spacecraft while having the joystick enabled for Project Apollo? I only have a two-axis joystick, and I cannot control yaw unless it is through the keyboard. Same goes for +/- X translation. Alternatively, any tips on how to get a HOTAS...
