I got stuck at L1 just last week. (But what orbinaut didn't already know this?) ;-) https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2018-07-25/one-woman-s-math-could-help-nasa-put-people-on-mars

In the Orbiter.pdf (v. 2016) on page 62 there is that lovely diagram showing the attitude of the ship at prograde, retrograde, orbit normal and orbit anti-normal. It seems that rolling from one to the other would be more fuel efficient if the ship rolled only on one axis.(*) The roll code...

FYI, (I just found Orbiter 2016 - I'm a little behind) and used my link to the online Orbiter.pdf and found that it goes to Orbiter.pdf (2010). (That's why I didn't know that Orbiter had been updated.) I assume that the file has been updated. Yes, I found the new file in the Doc directory...

I was close to ISS and then accidentally hit the main thruster. So now, I’ve been chasing ISS all over the place and keep over correcting. I’m trying to find a point of reference. I faced Prograde, so that I have some sense of direction, and can tell if ISS is at a different altitude, above...

The first time I used a flight simulator, I pitched up to the angle I wanted, let go of the joystick to do some keyboard operation (like raise the landing gear), and nosedived into the ground. It seems like you don't have to map the joystick input directly to the ships angle. The same with...

Is anyone posting UAP scripts? Are people typing them in by hand to a .scn file? I'd love to get a script for the DG-IV that takes me to ISS, the moon, doing a slingshot to Saturn or somewhere. Is there any other documentation other then the uap_doc.pdf (and the UAP folder with the .scn...

Is there an Align Plane and/or Sync Orbits autopilot operation for the DG-IV? I want to set up/automate a round-trip run to some low orbit location. Take-off, dock, drop payload, un-dock, de-orbit, land. I'm looking for a Repeat/Re-execute command, too. What I want to do is setup up a...

Where is the SH-02/Shuttle-A Technical Manual? I'm looking for the keys to operate the Aux Pod (left side-more/less, right side-more/less and both-more/less, rotate forward, rotate backward). Also, does anyone else notice a lack of retro-grade indicators in surface mode? I was going to do a 180...

Sorry to ask the same thing over and over but... Someone said to launch and then head 45 degs up and take a heading of 90 (East). The autopilot still won't let me do that. I've turned it off and still can't make that turn. I've run fast forward until the ISS is going North-East, (or passes...
