It`s only a matter of weeks before the Anniversary of Yuri Gagarin`s Historic Space Flight - 12th April 1961.
I am endeavouring to mark this occascion by recreating this monumental flight by using Jekka`s great Vostok 1.1 addon and in realtime and at the correct launchtime on Sunday 12th April 2009.
The problem is :-
The tutorials are great insofar if you fly it when already in Space!
This is what I need to know -
1. What is the best Launchpad Azimuth to use for the launch ?
2. Will pressing "P" take me throught the entire mission or do I have to stop after the launch and load the in-orbit scenario?
3.It says in the tutorial to line up the rear antenna with the sun at approx 0705hrs - but when I am at this stage in the sim the Vostok is facing the wrong way making it virtually impossible to line up the rear antennaes with the sun???
And finally - this may come with practise - but trying to get the vostok orb to re-enter earth is prooving nigh on impossible!!!!
Any help with this will be greatfully accepted
Regards
