thanks Urwumpe but if i remember well, deepstar 2.0 was different from the 2.1 version, or i'm wrong? it seems to me that for a similar orbit eject earth to mars BT was not so huge. and also, i remember another deepstar 2.0 behavior: if i wanted to do a 360° rotation around, for example, the x...

hi there just a question about a huge difference of BT in IMFD i have tried to set a course from earth to mars with deepstar 2.1 and i found a very big BT (see image 01) before trying to reduce this value with TEj and TIn adjustments, just for my personal curiosity, i have replaced deepstar with...

Hi there all! I’m back to the forum (and to orbiter) after a couple of years, maily because of lack of free time… argh… and now I’d like to try the Apollo 11 experience, just because I’ve never tried it before. So my question is: At this time, what is the best orbiter “configuration” to perform...

thanks for your answers, orbinauts so, that button is only a "old" warning system that show some problem but not what kind of.

Hi everyone this is just a little question, maybe stupid... could someone tell me the meaning of this indicator/led/thing/idontknow called MWS shown in the image below? it appear on DG mk4 in orbiter standard installation but I can't find anything explaining me its meaning. I think it's...

Thanks agentgonzo, I will keep in mind, even if I'd prefer to start from earth. I think to visit the inner planets first and use them to sling to the outer ones later, as logical. About the date, think I will use late '70s or maybe the next planetary alignment, around 2150, for fuel saving.

Hi all. I'm planning a Planetary Grand Tour, a voyager or cassini-like travel around the solar system, and I'd like some suggestions about it. For example: my idea is to start with a Deepstar in LEO carrying two Landers and two or three DG landed at some earth base, bring these DGs in orbit and...
