Well, Gemini was actually flyable... Mercury was more "turnable" to the right orbital attitude! The good thing is that I can reuse most of the knobs, screws and switches from Gemini.
I still print and read through the documentation about Mercury, but I am already sure that using any SSU code would be extremely stupid: The Mercury electronics work at much lower speeds, not even the discrete line model of SSU would be useful there. I started a libMercury for that one, that is designed for older analog tech as basic assumption.
The Earth 1962 scenarios would be incompatible in the X/2010 version - The Earth 1962 stuff was designed for Orbiter 2005, it didn't even get the various features of Orbiter 2006. If I already do a clean sheet, then also fix this one. Then I can also use attachments for stacking the capsules on the launcher and make the launchers completely independent of the capsule.
