However, when I came back up, it had the TD red. TD was less than TA, and it was servolocked, not sure why it was unhappy. So I did a rebalance, it still stayed red, even after getting another 10-sec ob, and servo-locked. So I shut down Mission Manager, and appended again, this time it came up in the green. Note2: WhenI shutdown MM.exe in order to re-try on the TD, it took GM down with it, but gave me the option to keep the SATCOM going. I would have preferred it not to autoshutdown GM, I had to input all my preferences again (centering, plotting obs, etc.) 400 mb HSS 7573m from sonde, highest system on cal was 7546m (sys C) Next sonde was 7582m. Center was sloppy, large broad l/v center, with a long ESE-WNW axis, first fix was likely way too far to the west, which led to an erroneous SE movement between fixes 1 and 2. 2nd fix was "better". temp induced some funky SLP changes, as well. Finally, there was an 8 nm "half eye" on radar, that was misleading. winds were funky coming in from the NE, and I was cross checking it with the sfc direction! first one way, then a sharp turn. There was a 40 kt spike in SWS on the inbound to the 2nd fix that i don't trust, there was a spike in the rain, so I picked something lower outside that rainband (I did not have a chance to look for it visually) Penetrations Logged: 0 ARWO:____________________________________ Penetrations Verified: Verifier:____________________________________ Penetrations Posted: Awards:____________________________________
