Step 5 <
Step 5 <
I assume your refering to:
Step 5. Set AB Throttle down to 0.00 using the “Set” button (<) and entering “0”.
This should be done in the configruation menu of Interplanetary MFD version 5.1f through MFD version 5.1f j. Make sure your IMFD bootup says this.
Also, make sure you arent pressing AB before you set this amount. Note that by selecting this feature, you are setting your main throttle to starting and stopping on a dime. This means an on switch and an off switch. There will be no gradual cuttof just a quick cutoff.
This is so you can use IMFD's Burn time function as an accurate number of seconds you will burn. This way your dealing with absolutes and no trailing elongated estimates of burn times. I thought this would be a good idea to do this for my tutorial so that readers and I the author can more or less sync up on certain manuvers and burns.
If this setting is something you dont want. I think the tutorial can still be done without this feature. You should not have already told your LMFD to burn the program. This might be a reason the throttle would go on after setting this.
Have you set a circularize burn up before setting this? If you have set up any kind of burn prior to makeing this change in the IMFD's configuration menu then this would be the only reason your throttle goes on when selecting this setting that I can think of.
Again, this step is to allow IMFD 5.1f to IMFD ver 5.1j to more accurately predict your burn times and to make it more like the real life Apollo program.
Does this help? Let me know if it doesn't.
