NASSP Documentation is Incorrect
Guys in the document Flying Saturn V.pdf, the documentation that tells you how to run the AGC for lift off is incorrect. I have found what the correct proceedure is.
For the part that says:
"So, you can use VERB 21 ENTER to change the azimuth value, then press
This should read:
then use the displayed azimuth value for the launch.
For this part that reads:
it SHOULD read:
them if desired, or use NOUN 33 ENTER to continue.
I have tested the proceedure using the official document and it did not work, I then read all the documentation from the addon for the AGC, and then tested the way I have changed the values and it works perfectly.
These values MUST be changed in the documentation for the flight to do correctly.
NASSP is a wonderful addon that incorporates the actual code from the original AGC source and has been adapted to control the NASSP vehicle. It is a super cool addon but takes a bit of planning and reading of the install documentation to correctly install.
This addon is for advanced users and should not be attempted by new users to Orbiter. Else you will have some questions to post here. I am new to NASSP but have been extensively testing it and its fun if you like the idea of using the original AGC.
Have fun and god's speed John Glenn
