Sorry to ask the same thing over and over but...
Someone said to launch and then head 45 degs up and take a heading of 90 (East). The autopilot still won't let me do that. I've turned it off and still can't make that turn. I've run fast forward until the ISS is going North-East, (or passes right over-head) but still, the auto-pilot heads me West.
Someone said there was a Launch MFD - is it in DG?
Also, the AF: when you turn a plane to change heading the plane rolls a little. Does this sim do that? I end up rolling the opposite way. While turning right, I get a roll left! (I'm using the keyboard.) Same with the RCS, I want to rotate my heading 180 degs to fire my main engines in the other direction and my pitch and roll go crazy.
The first scenario shouldn't have so many hurdles. Actually, I don't have anyone looking over my shoulder telling me what to do or not do. I just found this and am running it solo. Still, it took me a day to figure out that there is an auto-pilot running. Why is there no auto-pilot light/button? It should be flashing somewhere.
So, how do I get the right heading after launch?
