Title: AutoFCS2 not working quite right
Post by: Zatnikitelman on 26 August 2007, 02:02:50
I know it can work, I've used it before. Today, I was trying to reenter Endeavour so I brought up AFCS2 and just let it
sit till my crossrange was <1k. I didn't push any buttons or anything, just let it kick-in automatically. It did the de-orbit
burn, quite nicely if I can be any judge, set up the pitch to EI, then did nothing. Flight Director disappeared after I
went to external to make sure Ku, rads, and doors closed. The pitch rate continued at 0.1*/s as I watched it on VMC
on my laptop. While it was in the never-ending pitch maneuver, I noticed something else: the sim was laggier than I'd
ever seen it on my computer. I'm going to try some different things soon as I sign-off here to see if that makes a
difference, including staying inside the shuttle ;)
If anyone knows what to do, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Zat
