Hi After a journey to Mars and back with TransX, I found myself in retrograde orbit around Earth. I spent some time correcting this by moving the orbital plane 180 degrees, but then found that the orbit was unstable. The Periapsis and Apoapsis were constantly moving. Can anyone tell me what is...

Hi I was wondering if there were a glossary or schematic overview of the different systems used in Apollo. It's all well and good sitting in the CM following checklists and flicking the right swtiches but this seems pointless without an understanding of what those switches are doing. While...

Hi I know there are better MFDs for this but I am using Transfer at the moment because it's an easy way to familiarise myself with what's going on. I have followed the instructions for this MFD and the first time I used it, it got me to the moon. However, on every subsequent use for some...

Hi I have the NASSP Apollo add-on and when I get time I sit with the check list and start going through it in orbiter. I have printed it out as an Excel file on 9 A4 sheets and so far I haven't been able to get past the 3rd sheet! It seems to be very comprehensive command module simulation...

I don't know if this is a known bug, but when I use the scenario editor to place the DGIV inside the Arrow using the DOCK feature, the DG's nose cone is destroyed. Is there a way round this?

I like the Arrow Freighter that features in UCGO. I guess it's one of Dan's? Usually I'm not so keen on science fiction stuff, but the DGIV has been a very useful Orbiter training craft and the Arrow freighter has some really cool features. The "bridge" of this vessel, with its ambient sounds...

I haven't yet got the hang of landing where I want (DGIV)...usually end up 500km - 1000km off target then usually run out of fuel trying to cover this distance! Most of the time I end up in the sea. Any tips tutorials for this? Cheers!

I've tried to get Delta Gilder to rendezvous with the ISS a few times now, without success. This is what I'm doing: Aligned orbital planes. Can't get relative inclination better than 0.01 Matched the periapses of the two orbiting objects to the nearest mile. Controlled my speed by raising /...

I am new to orbiter and would like some more information about the list of abbreviations for orbital variables and parameters on the left of Orbit MFD, and also, the graphics. Although I have looked around I haven't found any comprehensive notes explaining it. Any help appreciated.
