Been working on some more scenarios trying to be close to the historic. I've been working on launch playbacks with annotated historical air-to-ground included that places the spacecraft close to the correct orbital insertion numbers per the mission reports.
For the upcoming 50th anniversary of the Grissom and Young GT-3 mission, here's a preview.
GT-3 Post SECO. (Parameters should allow the following orbital maneuvers to work close to the historic.)
GT-3 manual ascent demo. (Historical full air-to-ground annotated during playback.)
