<t> I won't dispute that the faces currently on display do not really reflect 1955-1975 demographics for the US/USSR in these fields.<br/>

However, given that the pictures are of people who paid the premium price to support development, it would be unfair to yank those pictures now. (And I ...

<t> If the Light Lunar Lander were reduced in mass to say 4500 kg, then a Saturn 1B, with an LEO capacity of 18600 kg could serve as Booster "B".<br/>

Other players are welcome to add to this thread on how the AI performed during their games.<br/>

Speaking of the mission videos interface , besides the existing "Play" and "Pause" buttons, how about some additional buttons:

<< Skip backward to previous Mission step

No problem about putting the last suggestion on the "wish list", I'm grateful you're still considering enhancements after the Release! I expect my other thread on ...

<t> Attached is my save game for 1980, Q1.<br/>
<br/>
I attached the 1979 Q4 save game earlier because the only way I knew how to get the news screen to come up for 1980.Q1 was to reload 1979.Q4 and do an "End Season".<br/>

Is there a way to recall the news display for the current quarter ...

<t> Historically, great value was placed on building a pool of astronauts with space experience. Although all of the Mercury flights by necessity had rookie crews, only 3 of the 10 manned Gemini missions had all-rookie crews. The other 7 Gemini missions, plus all 11 Apollo missions, had at least 1 ...

Yes, the screen capture I added to the initial post is indeed what I see from this save game.
The scroll bar is unresponsive.

FYI, my PC is still running Windows XP, and I'm running DirectX 9.0c.
Let me know if you need any other information.

Here you go, my save game for Q4 1979. You'll need to end the season and run the missions to see the news report I screen captured above.

Of course, skipping to the end (rather than sitting through the movies) will generate the same report with less time on your part.

<r> I've noticed that the scroll bar does not function on the Interseason News display. I always see 4 news items, with the scrollbar filled in completely green, with no scrolling possible.<br/>
<br/>
For this particular season displayed below, there should have been several additional news items ...

Possible qualifier: This game was started under 7.24.1, then continued under 7.25.

<r> Here's a screen capture of a set of false flags for the Apollo Orbital mission. I have actually achieved all three of these goals.<br/>
Fortunately, it looks like during the mission itself, the false penalties are not applied.<br/>

<t> - The Assessment button does not see achieved goals within the current program, and falsely flags them as unachieved. <br/>
Examples can be seen in the attached save file. I have achieved nearly all of the goals in the "Project Apollo Tests in Earth Orbit", but if one clicks the Assessment ...

I've been busy with work for the last few months, looks like many improvements have been made.<br/>
