The clickspot on the 2D panel is the latching handle for the hatch, just click that and then roughly the middle of the hatch. If clicking the handle plays a sound but doesn't seem to do anything, just continue to vent for a couple of minutes more. The LM pressure gauge may look like it's at...

Shortly after undocking and after the visual inspection, LM +X should be facing the CSM and be 'upside down'. Manually slew the RR to PY 0,0 and you should get a good signal strength. At this point, you can switch to AUTO TRACK and it should lock.

Cislunar navigation is optional as you can always get an accurate state vector. Hit FAIL instead of PRO to skip them.

LOPC-2 is to set up the CSM to be in-plane with the landing site for ascent and rendezvous, but I'm not familiar with the new MFD interface to help you plan it.

CMC Hold should work too right?

I agree with you that using the checklist and switching back and forth can get rather confusing. There's a possibility that you'll go out of sync between the two checklists and get something wrong. But it's actually not too bad if you understand what is going on during the clock sync procedure...

is your dP at zero or near zero? The tunnel hatches and LM hatches won't open unless dP is sufficiently low. EVA button works and will spawn an astronaut at the LM ladder if the LM forward hatch is open. Unfortunately, all you can do at the moment is to move the astronaut around the surface.

It's definitely possible to do any of the Apollo missions from 7-17. Apollo 12 onwards has no documentation provided, but you can definitely find things like flight plans and checklists online. A good place to start finding mission documentation is the Apollo Flight Journal or the Apollo Lunar...

Is your TRANS CONTR PWR switch on? Turning the THC clockwise will translate the CSM forward, this is normal behaviour.

IMO, you can skip Apollo 7 and go directly to the Moon with Apollo 8 first. Most of the stuff on Apollo 7 isn't essential for a successful trip to the Moon and back, and the timeline on Apollo 8 is more relaxed.

The obsolete checklists should work for the CSM-only missions on NASSP 8, but they don't take advantage of the new mission planning tools like RTCC MFD or MCC. That being said, using IMFD shouldn't cause a problem. The differences are mostly how maneuvers are executed. For example, the old...

I'm guessing it wouldn't be on the checklist if they trained only with the earth orbit AGS

It's definitely possible! I'm currently flying Apollo 12 myself. I use the Apollo 12 flight plan, but the Apollo 11 checklists.

Are both EMS roll and .05g switches on panel 1 switched on? I assume you already have your EMS set to ENTRY & normal. EDIT: The RSI works fine for me on your scenario. The entry was done at 340 yaw though, was the entry REFSMMAT correct?

Don't worry! I'm sure everyone had trouble flying the LM after getting used to the CSM. That's an excellent video that tells you what each maneuver (CSI, CDH, TPI) aims to accomplish during the rendezvous sequence. The whole rendezvous sequence depends on where and when the intercept will take...
