The 2009 Orbiter manual states that the acceleration unit for the hover thrusters is m/s^2. This is obviously the case for Orbiter 2006 (i.e., when I hover at a held altitude on the Moon using Orbiter 2006, the hover thrusters fluctuate between "1.6" and "1.7" matching the force of the Moon's gravity in m/s^2.) But not for Orbiter 2009. When using Orbiter 2009, the unit is indicated as "k." And so when I'm hovering on the Moon, it shows to fluctuate anywhere between "39k" and "40k" (give or take a few tenths.)
I'm new to all this; I don't have a clue what acceleration unit is "k." Thanks.
