V61 shows the DAP error, i.e. the way the DAP wants to steer, not the difference between N22 and N20. Run a V49 with a V61 before and you'll see.

:) This are those little-bitties a full fledged system simulation comes with. You may thank indy (?) for all of them. But yes, it's quite counter-intuitive. One might think that those are LED- displays (which would be okay with DC power), but they aren't. They are electro-luminescent displays...

AC numerics lighting power missing, presumably. INV 1 or 2 powered (INVERTER switch in 1 or 2 & EPS INV 1 (2) cb in)? AC Bus B Bus Tie cbs in? AC Bus B NUM LTG cb in?

Resp. cb (panel 11) in? Power on the CDR bus? ANUN/NUM rheostat (panel 5) turned up (at least one 'notch')?

According to the Apollo 11 mission report, they had star angle differences from 0.07° up to 0.15°. So all balls in N05 doesn't seem to be realistic...

What gyro angle? All IMU-angles P57 displays are for information only (at best, you can confirm or reject them). The whole torquing around for gravity measurements and realignment is done automatically; no user input required (ok, PRO to start). I guess you are at V54N71, right? As the LGC...

Mission Number? Later revisions of Luminary had a somewhat different (easier/more user-friendly) P57.

Well, it would be a nice 'Gotcha!'.;) However, on the other side rendezvous is quite 4-hands-4-eyes-and-2-brains task if you want to do it properly for all 3 (LM PGNS, LM AGS and CSM PGNS). I tried it with 11 and heck, I've never switched around CSM and LM that frequently, especially as 11's AGS...

AFAIK the radar transponder isn't simulated yet. At least I flew 11 some time ago with the transponder (accidentally) switched off, but the LM radar still tracked the CSM. Same goes for the VHF ranging in the CSM: it doesn't look if the LM is configured right.

One thing I just came along again: after every update, the sim crashes during 'major' events, like GRR, staging, LES jet, etc. But: only once for every event. Once the event 'has seen its crash', everything's fine for all subsequent runs. Odd and annoying, especially for launch: you need 5 or 6...

:huh: The P47 checklist doesn't do more then switching off the RHC DIRECT switches. That should have no effect on the whole auto logic. Anyway, you should take a look at those: SC CONT - SCS MAN ATT - ACCEL CMD RHC PWR NORM(!) (both) - AC/DC RHC PWR DIRECT - OFF (to make sure we are on the auto...

That will give you direct RCS control only (on/off when the RHC is hardover -sort of a "backup" mode). For "auto" RCS you'd need more, especially those AUTO RCS switches on panel 8. Anyway, how did you do the separation burn without auto RCS?:huh: To the problem itself: maybe he faces the same...

As we talk about it: I know that we can't simulate the real 'full-view' mirror of the SXT. But: what about a 'half-view' mirror like most old sextants (incl. mine from the german Bundesmarine, YOM 1961) had? It might be not as good as the real thing, but still better as this flickering epileptic...

Hm. From time to time I have the issue that during bigger events (staging, LV sep, liftoff...) the sim slows down to almost halt. Maybe this is related to that. I don't think that the LGC is the culprit here. The computational load in P66 is a lot lower than in P64, so when something in that...

Shouldn't it disable (and null) the error needles after staging? There was an EMEM value for that when I remember right...
