Okay, After quite a bit of fine tuning and adjustment I've come up with a video of the Lunar sim. It doesn't cover the actual soft landing, ( I'll do a second video for that) as youtube has a 10 min video limit, and I can't quite squeeze the whole mission into that short a time.
Of course, some of this video is time compressed, otherwise I would have a video that lasts for several days. Other parts of the sim run at real time, and certain parts run at 1/10 speed. The reason for this is that in order to get the video, I had to essentially record my computer screen with a digital camera while I actually ran the sim. Since certain points of the mission are
very time sensitive, and some events have to be manually initiated, I had to slow things down, to get the timing right.
There are two information displays at the bottom of the screen, which change function as the sim progresses. At the start the left display shows the oribt with respect to the Earth and the right is a transfer tool that aids in timing the transfer boost. After the boost ends the right display is changed to show the craft's trajectory with respect to the Moon. On approach to the Moon the left display changes to the type of info needed to plot the landing; Altitude, vertical and ground speed, an artificial horizon, etc.
That's about it so here's the video, You'll probably have to turn the volume up to the hear the audio, it recorded a little on the low side.
