Hi,
"Simply not cost effective to tutorialize (sp?) every missions"
Thats not what I was suggesting You only really need some simple manoeuvring tutorials so people can develop control
whats the point of free flight if all you do is spin out of control - you want to pilot the ship
would It be possible to set up CM - LM say 30 feet apart for docking (with the wrong rotational orientation ) - and the same again for the shuttle ISS may be a bit further out but not miles
and some other basic control stuff flip 180 degrees rotate 90 degrees etc (doing this first )
you know your sim keep it simple but instructive with a progression from whats previously been learned
"let alone in diferent difficult levels"
I think I did not got across what I meant about realism
In preferences have 3 settings easy normal hard
in its most simple form the easy reduces the control input buy an amount (input - 60)
with less for the normal
and full control for the hard
it might take a bit of time to code but it will be worth it to keep people engaged
When did you last play a game that only had a legendary setting - and how long would you use it if it did ?
Would Microsoft ever have sold the numbers of copies of Halo if all you did was die in legendary
Simple gameplay - thats all
You do want people to buy add ons don't you?
They won't if they have already given up
There was a brilliant pc game back in the 2000's Delta Force 2
The graphics were only ok the Ai was a bit off but the gameplay online was - so good !!!!!!!
a bit like modern warfare 2
I think you have a danger of missing that out if you not careful
Its your product so tell me to keep this to myself if you disagree - but I really am trying to help you with something that I feel has really big potential for space fans and others if got right

Hi Paul
Well , the difiiculty and the fuel is a tricky one. If we put simply more fuel on a rocket , then it would not take off due to the weight . What I can do is simply to reduce the fuel usage rate in the Medium/Easy . (as in more mileage ). that would do .
I ll add also a training mode with the LM/ CSM a few feet appart . (*Hint: once separated form Saturn IVb , if you punch program 33 on the DSKY by [VERB] 37 [NOUN] 33 [ENTR] , the CSM will autodock automatically , as it did in most missions )
Obviously remember to set ALF Rate GYRO to low , and all the RCS Quads enabled .
