Thanks - those are good tips. With map mode you don't get any vectors - do you just tweak your orbit and watch the numbers change in realtime? That is actually what I used to do in transx for midcourse corrections - far out a little thruster burn is all it takes to make big changes. I'm happy...

Thanks for the tips. I just completed a sling-shot and confirmed that it basically put me right on an intercept for Jupiter. The delta-v was still pretty high to get lined up, but it didn't do any burn at periapsis (and the altitude was pretty high too). That makes me think my original plan...

Well, my next attempt was so-so. I did mange to get to Venus, but on approach the best inclination I could do was 30deg, and I suspect that made the slingshot problematic. I was getting pretty high delta-Vs, but maybe that is to be expected (7k or so - whatever the units are - the trajectory...

Thanks, I will take a look at that. <snip question about version - after reading this new tutorial it looks like it is close enough to the current version. I'll give it another shot and see if I'm still getting errors.> ---------- Post added 01-29-13 at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was...

It has been a year or two since I last flew orbiter and I wanted to try something a bit more complex, and noticed the apparently-new interplantary MFD. However, much of the documentation is fairly old - I could only find one tutorial that references the current version. As an added bonus this...
