If the drouge ends up flat, wouldn't the main chute put the spacecraft right?
Also i think the capsule is suppost to do that for recovery. Orbiter has a minor problem that ends up as a CTD if two vessels dock and one is landed. So the capsule levitates awaiting the helicopter

are the switch positions when you first start orbiter, is everything suppost to be off? If not, how can i set it like the real mercury so that i have to set the switches before launch?

Well, Scott Carpenter fired the retros when he was 20 degrees off in yaw, and i really don't know how to change the code, but i if you get a mathmatical solution for an "estimate" when to fire and kept trial and error up, you could get a good retro time

Project Mercury / Discussion & Help / retros and re-entry

the retros burn in orbiter at i think something like 4:43 after launch in orbital scn. aproblem i have is that the capsule re-enters and lands somewhere off the coast of south america, and WAY farther south of the atlantic recovery zone, thats one long ride for the recovery chopers. I hope they have an in-flight movie
