Yes, that's what I meant :)

You're quite right to point out that the default HUD has digital readouts. As I said, I was using Dan's addons, and these have VCs. In the VC for the Arrow, there is no digital readout on the engine gauges. I tend to only use vehicles with VCs (except for the ISS) - never occurred for me to...

Yes. That was the problem. Although the bar graph thrust indicators were showing no thrust, there must have been a small amount being applied. I had thought of this earlier and tried CTRL NUM + and CTRL NUM - but evidently missed the 0 point. Which brings up another question - is there a...

Hi again! I don't recall seeing this happen before as a result of the sun or moon. In real time, the periapsis is changing at approximately 100m per sec. Periapis is about 850km and the orbit is circular - or was. The inclination is 42 degrees. I'm using the Arrow add-on with Dan's DGIV...

Thanks for your reply :thumbup: No, it isn't enabled.

Hi After a journey to Mars and back with TransX, I found myself in retrograde orbit around Earth. I spent some time correcting this by moving the orbital plane 180 degrees, but then found that the orbit was unstable. The Periapsis and Apoapsis were constantly moving. Can anyone tell me what is...

Thanks. I didn't realise how detailed the wiki was!

Hi I was wondering if there were a glossary or schematic overview of the different systems used in Apollo. It's all well and good sitting in the CM following checklists and flicking the right swtiches but this seems pointless without an understanding of what those switches are doing. While...

cheers

Cheers guys. I find PeA, ApA, PeT, ApT and ALT the most useful. The other varaibales I don't seem to have much use for.

Thanks for all the help! It's a fun MFD I think, but I had to use TransX to get back to earth. I intend to learn all of them.

Yes, you're right - the MFD graphics can be ignored after the brun has started. Cheers!

Thanks. I'm using Dan's Arrow freighter and with that the burn takes longer than 1 minute. I wonder if that's the problem? I also thought time compression might be the problem so I've done this without time compression but the problem is identifical.

Hi I know there are better MFDs for this but I am using Transfer at the moment because it's an easy way to familiarise myself with what's going on. I have followed the instructions for this MFD and the first time I used it, it got me to the moon. However, on every subsequent use for some...

Hi I have the NASSP Apollo add-on and when I get time I sit with the check list and start going through it in orbiter. I have printed it out as an Excel file on 9 A4 sheets and so far I haven't been able to get past the 3rd sheet! It seems to be very comprehensive command module simulation...
