Advanced Question DG IV reentry autopilot setting

[Volodus]

When I activate PRO104SPECNN – Manual reentry autopilot , i can change AOA and bank only by 5° steps.
Is there any way to change it to 1° ?

 

[Kaito]

Yes, just press space bar to cancel your current auto-pilot, then re-do it with one degree less

 

[Volodus]

I dont want to set new program(it would be little annoying changing AP 200 times in one reentry), I just want to adjust the one running.

 

[Kaito]

Why would you want to adjust it only by 1 degree? Are you becoming that hot that you're gonna explode?

You shouldn't need to change the AOA during entry... just the roll.

 

[Volodus]

I dont wanna roll, Im not getting hot I just want to change AOA by 1° (many times).
"Is there any way to change it to 1° ?"

 

[Kaito]

As far as I know, no it is not possible

As far as I know, no it is not possible

Its also really not nessecery, do you have any perticular reason you need to change it by 1°.

Thanks

Being able to change the AoA and bank in 0ne degree increments allows easier "tuning" of the reentry with AerobrakeMFD, and makes performing a fully unpowered reentry - landing on target easier.

Unfortunately, the DGIV will only increment in 5 degree intervals. Early in the reentry use the setting that leaves you "short", and lower the AoA later to extend the range as needed. It's easier to extend a reentry than to shorten one.

BaseSyncMFD has a super cool map program that allows you to adjust your path so it is RIGHT over the base.
I've been able to dead-stick a landing using the DGIV onto Ascension island...once....but still, its possible
