the  SCRAM  engines.    Excessively  overheating  the  SCRAM  engines  may  cause  an 
explosion and destroy the ship.

To monitor your engine thrust and efficiency plus the G forces active  on your  ship, 
refer to the 

Engine Display 

on the main panel (shown below).  The top line shows a 

gauge from 0-100.   The green bars below it indicate  0-100% engine thrust for the 
Main,  Hover,  and  SCRAM  engines,  respectively.    The  green  arrow  on  the 

Effic

  Line 

shows  your  current  main  and  hover  engine  efficiency;  rocket  engines  are  less 
efficient  when  flying  in  an  atmosphere,  and  so  you  will  see  the  arrow  move  to  the 
right  toward  100%  efficiency  as  static  pressure  decreases  during  ascent  in  an 
atmosphere

Engine Display Gauge Landed on Earth 

 
 

The  bottom  part  of  the  panel  shows  the  G  forces  currently  active  on  your  ship.  
Orbiter  uses  a  left-hand  coordinate  system,  and  so  the  X  axis  shows  acceleration 
along  the  side-to-side  axis,  Y  shows  vertical  acceleration  (up-down),  and  Z  shows 
forward/aft  acceleration.    A  green  arrow  indicates  positive  acceleration  (

right 

for  X 

axis, 

up 

for  Y  axis,  and 

forward 

for  Z  axis),  and  red  arrow  indicates  a  negative 

acceleration 

(i.e., “

deceleration

”)

. 

 
To monitor the fuel quantity remaining in your Main, RCS, and SCRAM tanks refer to 
the 

Fuel Display 

as shown below: 

 
 

                                           

1

  Remember  that  SCRAM  engine  heat  damage  may  be  disabled  in  the 

XR5VanguardPrefs.cfg

 file if desired; in that case the gauge will continue to display 

the diffuser temperature, but exceeding the limits will not damage the ship. 

2

  You  may  disable  this  realism  feature  by  setting 

EnableATMThrustReduction=0

  in 

your 

XR5VanguardPrefs.cfg

 file.
