Ah, gotcha! I had to reinstall it recently on my copy of Orbiter 2010, so it was fresh in my mind.

The stage disappearing thing is an issue that plagued even the old Multistage2. You fix it by reinstalling stage.dll.

Once I'm done with my Multistage Saturn Rockets for Orbiter 2016 you're welcome to use the config files I come up with. I'm working to make them more accurate than my old Orbiter 2010, plus it will be more bare bones and won't be near as bloated. I'm also using AMSO instead of AAPO.

I've been toying with the idea of simulating the pad aborts and Little Joe 2 abort tests from White Sands but the AMSO Apollo CM (sans a Service Module) immediately pops its mains out on the ground, so I'm mulling over how this could be done. I know the AMSO meshes are encrypted so I'm not sure...

Taking this back off the shelf, will be working on it in tandem with the 2010 version of the MS2015 Old-Atlas-Series, I miss working on the Saturn.

Yeah Launch MFD is really only good for launching into orbit, I actually couldn't get it to work for me because it kept crashing Orbiter, so your best bet as far as I'm aware is to fly the ballistic flights manually.

That I’m actually not sure about, I’m pretty sure its autopilot is optimized more for orbital launches than for ballistic flights, I’ll look into it later after I sleep. It would be cool if someone made an MFD specifically for suborbital flights, something that would give you guidance and would...

Yeah you would just go full throttle with + and control and practice manually flying downrange. The pad azimuth is fine for just flying a simple pitch over trajectory with no roll, ballistic flights were targeted to come down in the Indian Ocean, apogee would be around 900 km. The Atlas A won't...

The ICBMs (A-E) do not have a launch autopilot, since they are intended to be flown on ballistic suborbital flights and not into orbit. The only scenario in that section that has an autopilot is the mission for Atlas B (Project SCORE) which was an orbital flight.

It's been awhile since I've been taking screenshots. I've been jumping back and forth a decade between Orbiter 2016 and Orbiter 2006. Orbiter 2016 - Apollo 16 - John Young stands on Stone Mountain looking back towards the landing site. Orbiter 2006 - Gemini 11 - I replicated the M=1...

Nice to see the old Gemini add on getting a proper update! One thing I look forward to is doing an M=1 rendezvous with Gemini 11. It would be cool to launch the Atlas Agena/ATDA and then be able to launch to it and dock in the same scenario, though that might be too ambitious.

Also, the 2010 version of AMSO is still available, you can get it here: https://www.acsoft.ch/AMSO/amso.html

I just got all the lunar ascents to work, including 16. I must have bumped the enter key or something.

I just tried lunar ascent with Apollo 16 and it ran normally but the cut-off was way early, I simply relit the engine and flew it the rest of the way into the nominal orbit manually. Should I compile a list of the lunar ascents that work and the ones that have issues?

I just noticed this recently when running Apollo 16 with damage and failure sim on and I had to abort PDI early in the braking phase, the LM acts like it has no idea what to do and it just wallows around a bit before giving up. Even aborts close to the ground (tested with Apollo 11) give a...

I do plan on finishing my remake of the Apollo 14 soundpack I made way back when. The original I made was assembled from the highlights reel and from news audio. I also plan on doing Apollo 10 as well.

Update 5/6/2021 I unlisted the upload from March 2019 and updated the August 1, 2019 uploads to have an actual file you can download from the Orbit Hangar and not a link to the file on my Dropbox.

Worked a little more on the 2010 version tonight, this is much easier since I've already done most of the work in coding when making the 2016 version. The main thing I did tonight was alter the LOX venting effects. This one will be a simpler install since D3D9 won't be required for terrain...

Just started work on the 2010 compatible version.

It's out! https://www.orbithangar.com/showAddon.php?id=cc0272ef-c81d-4027-bf71-76069994c00d
