Flight Question AMSO LM brake autopilot

[IronRain]

hi all,

I am flyng the apollo misison with AMSO but when I try to do the PDI it say's that it's an invalid window or something.
to start the PDI I need an altitude between 10 and 22 KM but when I look on the normal altimeter and on the PDI altimeter (left bottom screen) I see that there not the same... so I don't get it..

help?

Oh, I don't know even how to run any autopilot (except acsent)... Could you tell me how to operate LM and Apollo autopilots in AMSO?

I looked and i had founded only description of various auopilots, but didn't found how to engage it... Pressing 'K' 'J' or 'G' didn't work, so it'll be fine if you write me a short sequence how to operate in :tiphat:

With the commands menu (“K” Action key), you can check for the validity of the PDI operation. The function "Check PDI conditions" will tell you if you are go for PDI. If you are not ‘go’, this function will tell you what is incorrect so you can use another program to make the necessary corrections. The function "Time to PDI," if you are go for PDI, will tell you the time remaining before the end of optimal time to engage PDI. Finally the PDI is activated with the "Engage PDI" function. Use the left/right arrow keys to select the desired function and the "up" arrow key to activate it.

Read the manual.

* have you checked your Base alignment (+- 20km)
* are you in your Descent Orbit (15 km perilune 15 degree east of landing site, 110 km apolune)
* begin your PDI autopilot about 1/2 orbit before landing, not too close to base
