Circularize Orbit

[Abel]

Greetings All,
Not sure if this is a bug or me doing something wrong but in Gemini Early Access Mission 1 - Titan when you are asked to circularize orbit it seems that I can't even if IVI's are zeroed. Also the mission want's you to do Tr -5 minutes checklist way to early.
It would be nice in the Academy to go through circularizing your orbit just so you know how to do it in the real mission. Otherwise GREAT GAME!

Thanks for the feedback!

The early Tr 5 is due to some major changes in the core of the sim, affecting some missions. This will be corrected but I will need to complete the core features of Apollo first.

Keep in mind that the IVI's need to be corrected at Ap or Pe, relative to what you wish to do. But in this mission, it should be OK once you hit orbit. However, as the sim is different each time you play due to the physics involved, the achieved orbit is the prime factor of your burn.

In many cases, you can circularize directly, but it's hard to get it 100% (and is not needed). Try to do this at Ap or Pe, and it will be much easier.

I'm glad I found this post, as I'm having this issue to date. I don't know if this has been addressed since April 23, but the best I can circularize is ~ 4km to 200 and it doesn't count as completed. After an orbit or two, the computer seems to stop providing correct or any information regarding program 73/74 time to Ap/Pe updates, and it is impossible to know when to burn to improve this. Resetting the computer did nothing. I suppose there would be a request for a new DCS update or something I am missing?

Additionally, when it comes to reentry, it appears a very important part of the checklists are lacking. Specifically, there's no prompt to start the event timer, which is not a huge deal, but larger if you utilize the checklist "run" function rather than simply reading it, you miss the indication that after retro you should run the BEF checklist, which leaves the craft at a bad angle into reentry.

I am having separation problems (sep adapt) prior to reentry. Am I making a mistake or is this a problem with the sim? This problem only occurs in certain missions.

Great game! I love it!! Just as it says, it's still "developing". Great job to the developers. I feel to fly the missions, I need to be a mathematician ! Maybe the IVI's not working or missed a step I dunno.

What situation is this in?
