I did a manned Venus flyby with AAPO Sunday night. I wasn't quite sure how to eject the SLA panels, so they're still on the SIVb throughout the flight.
Anyways, I'd been wanting to do a manned Venus flyby for some time, and wasn't sure how easy it would be do it with AMSO or NASSP, so I was quite delighted to find AAPO. :thumbup:
During the TVI burn:
Departing from Earth:
Another departure shot, with both Earth and the moon in the background:
Periapsis of the Venus flyby:
After more than a year in space, the CSM separates from the SIVb a few hours before reentry at Earth.
I have another screenshot of the CSM separation with Earth in the background. Unfortunately, the Venus -> Earth leg of the flight approaches Earth from outside its orbit, so the lighting is horrible and I decided against uploading it.
BTW, is there a more complete list of key bindings for CSM functions (especially stuff like parachutes)? The panel documentation says that all the functions listed are working, but the buttons themselves don't seem to work. I was able to find one or two key bindings for functions listed as being triggered by panel buttons by trial-and-error, and they do work when triggered by keystrokes, but not from the panel. But I wasn't able to find a complete list of key bindings in the documentation.
EDIT: I figured out parachute deployment, but I haven't been able to figure out apex cover jettison (other than what happens automatically with LES operation).
