When I activated the hover autopilot at cape it started out normally. Then the DGIV started roll over before I could eject the crew it crashed! I have know idea how that
happened. Do any of you have an Idea.

Isn't that the reentry program for 40° AOA?

Urwumpe is right. That is a reentry program.

I know it's the Earth ascent hover start. Not the re-entry program.

OH!! Pro104spec40 is the reentry autopilot; not Pro904spec40!. Sorry about that Apollo.
Have you been messing with some of the autopilot files in the DGIV directory?

Nope? I don't know why it did that. I just used the hover autopilot again and it worked fine.

Weird.

I don't know why but your Orbiter is getting much trouble! I don't remeber someone posting threats about such
many different problems.
Have you asked your computer if it likes you?

Its fun dumping the crew just outside the atmosphere and having them hold hands as they burn into charred turds
