Issue#022Instead of firing the retrorockets, the SA just goes through the Earth, with the parachute acting like crazy, deploying and stowing.
Confirmed on the "Touchdown" scenario. Investigating. -> fixed, tbc

huh... print the page of the manual with the keys (or copy it down if you don't have a printer) ?
also, i really like the on-screen system displays, but i wonder (and this is of course entirely cosmetic) if it could be given a somewhat more "retro" appearance instead of the current white font on blue background (scary bsd anyone!? 8-o )?
Issue#023finally, previous builds showed an angular momentum readout in the lower left corner, but this seems to be gone now from this build... 'intentional?
i believe though that there's a minor little error with the coded assembly which i just noticed: if i'm not mistaken, the aft "type B" IGLA antenna on the PAO is currently attached upside down... the receiver component should fit within that slot/niche recess on the engine block, and then the IGLA arm should fold outward (instead of just sliding into place as it does now) during deployment so that the receiver component faces rearward (as it correctly does now once deployed)...
Actually, the Soyuz digital display (Sirius) was blue-ish

The Digital Data Display looks less blue-ish.
blue background (scary bsd anyone!? 8-o )? perhaps classic amber on black (with a console-type font... FORTAN forever! :-D )? or maybe something like the more current soyuz displays? ==>
I don't know if the author of that Salyut is still around, but that would be great to make a .dll of it using Artlav's converter.

No. What resolution are you using ? Can you post a screenshot ?
Castorp, i think this screen is from TM/TMA computer panel...
Issue#024
Didn't knew that, will correct this.
But the antenna isn't at the right place, then ? :huh:
Any special things aside of the new features, that you want to see tested?
The DPO translation mode. I think that it consumes too much fuel, because the "anti-torque program" is somehow too sensitive. Also, the system sometimes "locks", with thrusters stucked. It would be interesting to have feedback on this (behavior on the different axis, Centre of Gravity...).
Also, aerodynamics during re-entry. I suspect that the capsule produces a little too much lift.
Yes, too sensitive fits it. Also the "anti-torque" should be futile, since at correct placement of the thrusters, the RCS should be almost torque-free during translations.
