    Flight Question Orbital parameters confusion

    I had entered orbit around the moon and began to adjust it to about a 100-km altitude circular. After burning retrograde to lower periapsis to some 90-odd km, I continued around towards periapsis to circularize. The Orbit MFD showed a reasonable elliptical orbit that seemed to agree with the...

    Apollo 4 loss of vehicle

    AMSO is a great add-on, and brings back the amazing complexity of the Apollo Missions. However, I can't get the right configuration for atmospheric re-entry in the Apollo 4 flight. I get my orbit all set up for re-entry, but cannot separate from the SM. The 'J' key is supposed to do it, but...

    AMSO availability?

    I'd like to get AMSO 1.18 or any reasonably current version. However, all the links go to ACSoft site, and there only seems to be downloads for a couple of the sound packages, but not for AMSO itself. Is there another download site for AMSO?

    Transfer MFD malfunction?

    My Transfer MFD is not keeping track of the Dv during the ejection burn. Got myself in an elliptical orbit and aligned with the moon. I used the Transfer MFD to plot an HTO with an indicated Dv of 1856 M/s. When I reached the ejection point and began the burn, the MFD remained stuck on 1856...

    Flight Question "Prograde" confusion

    My prograde orientation is not what I would expect. I am on a return trajectory from the moon, roughly halfway, and I hit the "Prograde" button (in my DGIV), expecting to get a view of the earth, but instead it turned me around and pointed me somewhat toward the moon, definitely backwards with...

    Flight Question spurious RCS activity

    Sometimes when flying the DG, I have RCS activity that I think is uncommanded. None of the autopilot buttons are in, but the craft begins to rotate at an accelerating rate. I can stop it with Kill Rotation or Prograde, but it sometimes acts as though it is fighting itself and uses RCS fuel...

    General Question Deleting Saved Scenarios

    What a great sim, but I think I got a little ahead of myself. Had no idea that docking spacecraft was so difficult. It installed without any problems and runs fine on a Mac Pro with a Bootcamp/Windows XP partition. My saved scenarios are getting a little much to keep track of. How do I...
