Apologies if this has been answered before, but I'm on a short-term project and need to know a couple of things:
I'm setting up a short Gemini flight demo for a gallery at the St. Louis Science Center and, though I am close, I have some questions for this community.
In Demo Mode, I have set the mission to time out at 90 seconds and go back to the launch screen. I set the launch screen to restart the demo at 10 seconds. If I let it go on automatic, it will restart the demo at its point of origination. However, if I press a key to manually start the demo, it launches at the last recorded position of the flight. I do not want this. Can I convince Orbiter to restart the flight from the beginning of the scenario with a key press?
Next question: IF I can get the demo mode to reset the flight the way I want it to, when the demo flight times out after 90 seconds, I would like it to go back to the launch screen and hold until a key is pressed. The last time I input the demo parameters in the .cfg file, I did not include the line MaxLaunchpadidleTime but it still restarted the demo after 10 seconds. Did I miss something?
Third question and probably the most important in the short term: Using the line "BackgroundImage" in the .cfg for demo mode, all I see is a blank white screen. What directory is this calling from for an image? I want to load a custom image for this screen with instructions for my visitors.
