Thanks a lot. :tiphat:

What a great MFD. What is the difference with the static version as linked on page 10. I see the actual module is larger.
Also, the Atlantis scenario, I presume I have to manually jettison the tank.

Is it possible to request an orbital insertion inc plane for Hohnman.

Will we ever see a v1.0 of this? Or do you consider it done?

I think it is a great tool. I have only started to really get into using it with the sequences. It is an amazingly accurate launch autopilot, can get me on the exact inclination of my target. Have seen a few issues with the syncing up of orbits, but that is not an issue for me as I prefer Rendezvous MFD to ensure a R-bar approach that doesn't drain the tanks.

Some day, i guess.
I still can't make a landing autopilot, and without that the whole thing is royally incomplete.
And that's only the practical part, since initially i wanted this to be a C++ framework for making autopilots as well.

Practically, since last release there has been no work on it besides some bug fixing and portability improvements.

Looks like there is no hurry as well, since the few who are aware of it have yet to note any O2010-related bugs.

I use it with Thorton's Soyuz and it's very nice for docking maneuvers. I don't seem to have much luck with using it for orbital syncing though, it either can't find a solution or uses tremendous amounts of fuel (leaving me empty), but I'm positive it's because I'm not using it correctly...

There are two modes - minimize by time (lots of fuel), and minimize by Dv. You should use the second.
With something as weak as Soyuz you'll probably won't get a solution in that mode unless you're quite close.

That's what I had figured, so I do it manually in Soyuz and use UAP for docking until it gets about 50m or so, then I take over manually so I don't feel like a tool :lol:

I don't know if this has happened to anyone else, but whenever I set everything up and press "GO", the MFD reads "Not running sequence". Any suggestions?

Mods, please close this one.

Which sequence have you set?
There are so many possibilities in your description that anything can be the problem.
