Ohhh, I am supposed to set it to 0... I thought it automatically begins to descend and land once it reaches a certain distance from the base; Until then it holds the specified altitude. Makes sense why I was wasting fuel hovering over the pad. What about target altitude? or am I confusing that...

I was able to use Hover MFD to do a landing at brighton beach! I was kinda worried when it made the XR2 hold altitude over the pad instead of landing there, so I adjusted the altitude to 0k.

Yea h, the other files do play back. I think I am looking at the wrong numbers here, I was looking at brake rate, not brake now rate.

Ohhhh, I get it now. My brake now rate is stuck at 81% for some reason, but I understand the steps now. Thanks so much! Yes, I have the scenario in the playback folder, but it isn't playing back for me.

hey, I tried the scenario playback but it was a scenario for me, not a playback.... Yes, this time I landed well, The problem is I don't know much of what the numbers are. Second, I dont know at what distance/altitude to activate the autopilot itself. Do I have to do the deorbit burn, or will it...

Yeah Hover MFD is a bit confusing for me without video guidance. Do you have a checklist for landing on the moon with hover mfd? I also don't know when to engage the autopilot and things. Does it automatically land you on the pad, or is it simply for controlling speed/altitude?

A diagram or something would be useful. I don't quite understand it. This I see as relative inclination

Am I supposed to reduce the horizontal velocity? I am kinda lost here......Could you upload a video of the steps please? Also, for checklist MFD, how do I load your checklist?

Yes, this is what I was talking about. By my old Orbiter install, I meant my over-modded 2016 install that I was using when I first got into Orbiter.

I tried that but I always pass by the base at 1600m/s and the ship spins around like crazy and uses hover engines and wastes fuel. What am I doing wrong here....?

Hey, the way I learned it was by checking out David Courtney's excellent youtube playlist, the absolute beginner's guide. I highly reccomend that you check it out. Go Play In Space is also a great resource, but Mr. Courtney's videos are more descriptive and informative. Here is the link. For...

Is it possible to run Doom on a XR5 Vanguard Navigation Flight Computer as a separate MFD Program? Could be useful on journeys to the moon, but I don't want the company people to find out about it.

I think there is a addon map mfd that adds all these map projections. I had it in my old orbiter install.

Thanks y'all, but I have a question. I am in a 20*20 km orbit, aligned perfectly with Brighton Beach opposite side of the moon. How can I use hover MFD for this?

Ohh, so it is the angle from the target position at intercept and the orbital plane of the ship, that's what I understand. Why do we have to keep it to a minimum though?

The angle between the velocity vector and the moon? I am quite confused on it. It says vector, doesn't that have to do with motion?

Hey y'all. So as you may know already, I have been trying to get my feet wet with IMFD, so I have been trying to do a moon trip with it. I decided to read the IMFD manual by Mark Lieberbaum, however, I saw lots of mentions of EIn, but I didn't quite understand what it is. Dimitri from David...

I was flying the default dg for this. Thanks for the video, I noticed you were pressing the eng button several times, what does it do?

Thanks, but I am looking at efficiency. I know that you can just use IMFD's solution, but 12k delta v and 5 days isn't quite efficient. I want to do a 3.5 day transfer and use about 3.1 km/s of delta v
