I think those links should be very interesting for Dseagrav.

I had the first one, the second one is new, and the third one doesn't seem particularly relevant. I have a fair amount of material about the LVDC hardware, my difficuly thus far has been the SOFTWARE.
Those would be very useful if we ever got a software listing for me to run, but as far as I can find the software (source or otherwise) was lost to history when IBM was broken up as a monopoly in the 70s.
Speaking of which, I need to commit my broken LVDC, it doesn't work for IGM yet, but it does have aborts and things that the current autopilot doesn't have that someone could port over.

Found a document which deals with the early design of an Autopilot for the unmanned Apollo missions. May or may not be useful as a source for hardware, but does have some information on the early planned unmanned testflights.
Also located what appear to be model specifications for different versions of the S-IVb stage.

Located what appears to be a manual for testing/maintaining the Block I CMS's Optical Equipment.
Due to the file size (which bodes well for the illustrations) I've not downloaded this one yet, but I thought I'd post the link as this document should prove very useful.
See:
Apollo optics-inertial test checkout, maintenance, and repair manual
(21.2mb 169 pages).

After a long down period the NTRS is back online and was updated at the end of the month. The following might be of use for the simulation of the Apollo 6 mission & possibly the others as well.

Edit:
Some documentation on the Apollo optical systems.
1.

(23 pg 898kb)
2.

The most recent update of the NTRS included the following documents dealing with AS-204A (Apollo 1).
Spacecraft Operational Abort and Alternate Mission Studies for AS-204A. Volume 1: Abort Studies
(11.54mb)
Independant Flight Software Validation Test Results for Mission AS-204A
(9.23mb)
With luck the next few updates may bring up more information on what was planned for this mission.
I've not checked this yet due to the size, but a copy of the 1965 version of the LM Familiarization Manual is now available.
Lunar Excursion Module Familiarization Manual (October 1965)
(12.2mb)

Since someone carelessly deleted my account
I can no longer edit the previous post. Therefore any new discoveries on the NTRS will be added here.

Who deleted your account?
What I get is tons of spam mails, all addressed/related to my sourceforge account.

Any news on this?
But, while I'm waiting, here is something that could prove fun to add to the S-1C stages, a recovery system!
Exploratory investigations of the recovery of a large booster by means of aerodynamic decelerators and a hot-air balloon
(994kb)
An engineering design study and test program for the Paravulcoon Recovery System Final report, 31 Jul. 1963 - 31 Aug. 1964
(59mb)

(1.6mb)
And, some more documentations on the plans to recover S-1 stages using a paraglider
Dynamic-model investigation of some landings and slideouts of a recoverable booster
(1.7mb)
And a tantalizing document dealing with software changes for the S-1C stage.

There's an error on page 31 ( Adobe count ) or 2-5 ( report count ). For the S-IVB venting, the planned apogee before manoeuvre is not 15.15 n. mi. but 151.5 n. mi.
NASA's were too busy with Apollo 8 and Soviets I supposed...
