At the last Saturday Meetup at the sim we re-shot the training video for the Martian Star training evolution.

While we were there it seemed like a good time to give a quick tour of the helm... so we shot this video as well.

As mentioned, here's a more detailed look at the impulse maneuvering and impulse navigation panels covered in the video.

Be gentle... this is my first video post! 

(The new training video will be added to the evolution in a couple of weeks time once it's edited - for now, the old video is playing).

Nice to see some video but disappointed to see no mention of the compass? It's pretty important to impulse nav!

That video was fairly spontaneous... as you can probably tell from the quality of the video. Sorry for missing what I agree is a pretty significant part of the helm (and other consoles).

I plan to keep shooting these videos during the Saturday meetups, but I'll try and give more prior thought to what should be covered!

There's a lot going on in that Martian Star exercise (which I guess is the point). What would be really helpful is some kind of flight management system (FMS) so that you could load up all the course-points and track your way through them. Anything like that planned?

Yes, a flight management system is planned. We'll share designs, etc as soon as they're available.
