I guess I should have saved the scenario, but I didn't. But I am sure that I had checked that the DST button was set for PeA, not PeR. The PeR at that point should have been around 1800 km. I'll just have to watch for it to happen again, and save the scenario if it appears.

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. Duh. That did it. I embarrass myself. I got a bit confused because in earlier A11 scenarios you only have to press it once. Still, I don't know why I didn't at least stumble upon this simple solution. Thanks

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...

I got it. As you said, it was right there staring me in the face. Thanks for your help. I shouldn't stay up late at night...

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?

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...

It is green now (G = 0.51), and it does now work the way I expect. Thanks for the clarification. Greetings from Mill City, Oregon.

That would explain it, except the HUD does say "Orbit Earth". The Orbit MFD has reference set to Earth. I am roughly 50% of the way home from the moon.

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...

It's USB. ---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ---------- The stick has many hours on it with X-Plane, though it always seemed smooth enough and quiet with that app. I did shrink the dead zone to 200 with Orbiter, seeking better control in docking...

I had time acceleration off and on; mostly off when trying to troubleshoot this. I have a joystick plugged in (CH Pro), and both trim wheels were in their centered detents.

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...

I also find it runs smoothly and with almost no problems on a Mac Pro/Bootcamp/WinXP with an NVidia Gforce 8800GT. Yes, it's kind of spendy, but on the other hand, it may be more than I need for this app. At the time, I needed the extra graphics horsepower to run X-Plane v.9, and perhaps Orbiter...

Thanks, that works.

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...
