This update will fix a lot of issues and reported typos related to various Academy lessons, and the two Apollo campaigns (Campaign 3 and 4). It will also roll out some bug fixes (see patch notes below).
Note: If this update gives you issues, you can revert to a previous build using the Steam Betas tab.
Thank you for your patience while I was having the flu, I will try to catch up with the community messages and bug reports as I had to completely step away from development and the community for the last two weeks.
Apollo Entry Academy lessons
I have restructured and rewritten a lot of the Apollo Earth Entry lesson. It removes the use of the Ordeal and covers how to align the platform for entry.
The lesson will cover a lot of the entry procedures but not absolutely everything as it aims to teach you the major steps required for an entry. I have added a follow-up lesson that will introduce you to the real procedures and will teach you to perform entries using the full procedure. I have also added a similar lesson for Lunar Entry in the Advanced section.
Apollo Automaneuver lesson update
I have remade the Command Module Automaneuver lesson. It now contains more information, details, covers the SCS, different flight modes, and removes the use of the ORDEAL ORB RATE mode.
Campaign Updates
I have rolled out a lot of updates to all campaigns, and also restructured and rewritten a lot of the two Apollo campaigns.
Mission Command Highlighter
I have rolled out an update to the Mission Command highlighter logic. This is the logic that highlights a switch that a Mission Command / Radio Message wants you to adjust. If a radio message require you to interact with a switch, the switch is added to the top of the Checklist Guidance System queue. This is a core change and I have played through all of the games Academy lessons and Campaign missions to check this update, but please report if you stumble upon strange issues with this.
Visibility toggle for the Date/Time UI text
I have added a toggle that can be bound to a hot key (Input Settings) to toggle the visibility of the Date/Time UI text.
Typos
I have fixed the reported issues on GitHub and the reported issues on Discord related to typos in a lot of the Academy lessons, Historic missions and Campaign missions.
