Don't want to pollute this thread, but how about posting your add-ons to Pappy's Bar? I mean Simviation is not that bad, but it is to keep things more "centralized" ...

Anyway, awesome addon, thanks for sahring ! ;)

Simviation has been very kind to me; I'll continue to host my add-ons there.  Besides, I thought Pappy's was French-only?

Hope you like the add-on, thanks...

yeah, I really cannot say just how impressive this MFD is.  People need to see it for themselves.  Great simulations of so many of the Shuttle GPC screens.   So cool.  A great add-on for the Shuttle commanders out there.

Did some tests and there are some problems when using the data tables for the Hubble rendezvous. the trajectory to the HST is not the same as illustrated on the flight data files and it uses more fuel. Im not sure what I was doing wrong but I did it by the numbers and it still makes the same mistakes. Give me a reply so I can reproduce the bug so that you can fix it, right now its late.

all and all the ISS rendezvous is flawless, I haven't tried Mir and the SMM though
