Discussion AMSO Apollo add-on v. NASSP

[Jason210]

Hi

I have the NASSP Apollo add-on and when I get time I sit with the check list and start going through it in orbiter. I have printed it out as an Excel file on 9 A4 sheets and so far I haven't been able to get past the 3rd sheet!

It seems to be very comprehensive command module simulation.

Recently I discovered the Orbiter Recommend Add-ons page here at the O-F and saw the AMSO project and screenshots and was impressed by the graphics.

Those who have used these add-ons, what is your opinion of them? How does AMSO compare to NASSP?

NASSP is much more realistic in almost every aspect but AMSO has excellent graphics and is much more user-friendly.

AMSO is less detailed in the spacecraft simulation and focuses more on the mission itself. AMSO has the cuter graphics, but almost no subsystem simulation. NASSP has all that, but is currently limited to Apollo 7, because there is a major overhaul of the code going on.
