Gemini Rendezvous...IVI’s all 999

[丰盛的基因科学家]

Trying to rendezvous with the other Gemini craft on historic mission. Following the checklist, everything’s working well Until the final burn. The IVI’ s all go to 999. Curious why and what I screwed up. Thanks in advance.

Thank you for playing our wonderful Sim, the only historical Gemini program mission we currently have is Gemini III the Molly Brown, I think you refer maybe to Campaign mode mission instead: Campaign 2: Mastering Orbital Flight Face to Face. When you performed the last Rendezvous burn and your distance between your Gemini spacecraft and the target vehicle {the other Gemini craft} is bigger than 1000 feet away, those IVI's values are displayed as such (999), that is normal. Once you use your radar for approaching the target craft properly, those values will start to go down, don't worry, you will see it soon after, it only takes a little patience and practice. Our dear Reentrynaut and TP colleague Jacob Van Beek aka: Jfast had created a very good tutorial for Gemini Rendezvous here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9NyQE8LXRk

That's odd, what version of the game are you on?

Thanks for your quick response. I apologize for the confusion. I was practicing the rendezvous and docking profiles, the Gemini and Agena.

Dear roshcitt jai hindi a raj, you are absolutely right, now I understand what you meant to say, I tested the Gemini Campaign 2: Mastering Orbital Flight Face to Face mission and in fact there is a little bug concerning the IVIs values (played the mission twice). the bugs behave like this: Once you reach Orbit, then you wait for Periapsis for the first Circulization burn, when you time skip {apparently this triggers the bug} the first thing that happens is that time skipping stops and won't go further anymore, then the IVIs values start to increase like crazy and your orbit ended messed up. you can notice how much your orbit get deformed by hitting F3. I already reported the issue to our developers and shared the report with other mates too. We spec that soon we will have a solution for it. The confusion was because I thought you were referring to Rendezvous burn, but this bug is triggered way before that phase of the mission, is while Circulization burn is up to be executed.

WOW THANKS MAN. i will try without time compression and let you know.

This sounds similar to the problems I have been having during the circ burn. Things just go crazy.
