Thank you kuddel, I think that was the problem. I changed the OrbiterDir macro to a relative file path (..\..\..) and it fixed that error. Unfortunately a new error arose, in that it couldn't find several "meshres_XX.h" files. After a bit of searching, it looks like the "meshc.exe" program also...

Hello, I think I'm having a similar problem, but the above solutions didn't work. I am trying to compile the DeltaGlider source code in Visual Studio 2017, but I keep getting the following two errors: Error MSB6006 "cmd.exe" exited with code 255. DeltaGlider C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft...

Hello, I am trying to compile the DeltaGlider source code in Visual Studio 2017, but I keep getting the following two errors: Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error MSB6006 "cmd.exe" exited with code 255. DeltaGlider C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual...

Hello, I am currently studying the lemsystems.cpp file, and I came across the following two lines in the void LEM::SystemsInternalTimestep(double simdt) function (lines 1331 and 1332): double mintFactor = __max(simdt / 20.0, 0.02); double tFactor = __min(mintFactor, simdt); I'm not entirely...

Ahh ok. It's quite a big file though, so I'll need to do it in 2 posts. BEGIN_DESC END_DESC BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT System ProjectApollo\Sol_VirtualAGC Date MJD 40421.4577172487 Help CurrentState_img END_ENVIRONMENT BEGIN_FOCUS Ship Columbia END_FOCUS BEGIN_CAMERA TARGET Columbia...

I have a save file from just before MCC-3. Here is the MCC part of the scenario. MCC:ProjectApollo\MCC STATUS Landed Earth POS -95.0883333 29.5580556 HEADING 270.00 ALT 2.000 AROT -0.000 84.912 -60.442 AFCMODE 7 CSMNAME Columbia LVNAME AS-506-S4BSTG LEMNAME Eagle MCC_BEGIN...

I think perhaps there might have been an issue with my MCC-2 burn. I couldn't get through the steps in time, and I didn't know how to adjust the auto-ignition to a later time. After getting through the steps, I therefore pressed the SPS Direct switch and let it burn until the delta-V reached...

Hello, I'm doing an Apollo 11 mission, and I have just been informed that MCC-4 has been scrubbed. It then asks me to prepare for a data uplink by turning on the various UPLINK TLM buttons. I set all of that up, and press the "Ready for Uplink" button, but then, all it says is: "CSM state...

Ahh ok, that makes a lot more sense now. I think part of the problem is that I've been using a keyboard instead of a joystick, and I don't think that works very well with RATE CMD, so I wasn't able to work out what it did. Thanks!

Hello, I have been working through an Apollo 11 simulation, and I notice that one of the switches that I constantly need to press is the Manual Attitude switches. The problem is, I have no idea what they do! I've tried looking in AOH Vol 1, but it's very cryptic, and doesn't really help me...

Thank you for the clarification thewonderidiot! That's a shame about the book, so far I have been finding it quite accessible. I'll certainly take a look at the file you linked, although it might be a bit above my level, since my background is not computer science.

I am currently studying "The Apollo Guidance Computer: Architecture and Operation" by Frank O'Brien, and I'm having some trouble with the section on memory addressing. On page 61, under the heading "Fixed storage banking," it says the following: "One value has already been mentioned: a binary...

Wow, that's really cool. So, the SPS Evasive Maneuver checklist has the following section: SPS Evasive Attitude V49E V25E Load SPS PAD Burn Attitude CMC Mode - AUTO PRO PRO F 50 18 ENTER T-10:00 So, it looks like I need to start the attitude maneuver, wait for it to reach the correct...
