Academy: Apollo CSM - Lunar Orbit Injection (LOI)

[@DarkStar666]

Would be very handy if we could switch hi/med/low speed while remaining in the telescope view.

[@ReentryAnOrbitalSimulator]

@@DarkStar666 yeah, i have been working on a speed switch that can be toggled on the scope UI :)

@@ReentryAnOrbitalSimulator used it today, thanks!

Thank you so much for making this sim. I'm a proud owner. Please keep up the awesome development! You are totally making dreams come true!

[@GMartins222]

Thanks, this is an awesome tutorial, couldn’t figure out how to correctly align the IMU’s but this helped me. Great job on this simulator, finally gave me a use for my reprints of the 1960 manuals!

[@shanemeyer9224]

Honestly thank you so much for this I was having the hardest time setting the correct attitude for LOI retrograde burn, I was trying to use just p30 and p40 as the academy explains but there are so many thing that still need created to fully understand the shit even in some of the checklist there are thing to run through which are not taught so, it's kinda just hoping you can figure it out, these tutorials really really helped. I was stuck on this damn burn for almost 2 days before i caved in a searched away. Thanks man truly

Really looking forward to a tutorial on getting an orbit to both land and do a TEI burn 🔥

[@LegioXXVV]

Actually, a question for you. Rather than re-align the IMU, could you have used program 48 and entered the refs from program 30 to align for the LOI burn?

[@adamyavornitzky2970]

Is it possible to do an in game Academy lesson on this, coasting, and mid course corrections? If you could do this please it would be great and very helpful. Thank you.

[@ReentryAnOrbitalSimulator]

I do plan on this, but just want my sim to improve a bit in the coasting and mid-course correctiols areas before doing that. LOI should already be in a good state.

Thank you so much, this is what I have been waiting for :D

[@skyrider6227]

Excellent. Can't wait for the next video. How's the work on the ECS systems coming along? Love your sim.

[@ReentryAnOrbitalSimulator]

Thank you! The ECS is all placeholders for now as I try to write the physics needed to improve it. I hope to add a dedicated ECS update in version 1.2 or something like that! :)

[@LegioXXVV]

Hmm...now I know what I've been doing wrong all along. Thank you.

[@DarkStar666]

Is it possible to undo the P52 option 3 realignment?

[@ReentryAnOrbitalSimulator]

@@DarkStar666 Hi! This is not possible unfortunately.

Being 20 seconds late to initiate the orbital insertion burn is grounds for never flying again (ask Scott Carpenter).
