Oh no sir, I have read all three, several times in fact. And part's II & III do pertain to the sim and are not NASA manuals. Part II is "systems", and part III is flight procedures. The NASA manuals you refer to are not availible from the start menu, but are located in a folder within the Captain sim folder inside the main FSX folder. The fundamental guidance requirement during entry is to reach the TAEM interface (~2500 ft/s, altitude of approximately 82,000 ft) within specified limits on range (about 50 nautical miles (n. mi.)) from the selected heading alignment cone (HAC) and with a velocity heading within a few degrees of tangency with the HAC. During a nominal entry, the flight control system (FCS) is in the AUTO mode and the flight crew function is primarily one of monitoring the operation and performance of the guidance, navigation, and control systems. The entry guidance system controls the entry trajectory by holding GPS track while flying a predesigned velocity profile. The profile is designed to be compatible with heating and stability constraints.

Thanks for quoting the manual. It is however way off topic. You got your own flight crew?

The main issue is what is happening before entry flight is initiated. Since you are a rocket scientist, please explain how the "Y" key and "P" keys can both be slew functions at the same time?
