A very unlikely thing has happened.. I decided to make a quick trip to Mars and back. I wait for the window, launch, get into orbit, set up a flight plan, burn for orbit eject and off I go. I set up an initial time acceleration of 10000x to watch Earth fade away to a pale blue dot when WHAM...

Hello, I am interested in what sorts of Mars approaches/landings are possible? I usually use a method similar to landing on the moon but have trouble maintaining attitude in the atmosphere so I do the burn up between 80-120km alt resulting in an enormously long vertical descent, spending a lot...

The Ravenstar seems to have an enormous turning radius.. such that it's impossible to taxi around any airports or park it without multiple corrections. Is there an ini setting that I can change to make it more maneuverable on the ground?

Hello, I'm attempting to plot a trip from Neptune down to Saturn or Jupiter. I've set up my trip as usual using Target Intercept, however when I went to execute the autoburn, nothing happened. The Target Intercept looks the same as any other (though the dV does seem a little low -- just 1.6k?)...

Hello, After using transx for most of my interplanetary flights, I'm slowly learning to use IMFD for such trips and doing OK with it. However, I'm curious about a discrepancy between orbiter/IMFD and reality. Maybe this is more of an Orbiter issue, but according to ...

So, I got myself all set up with a trip to Mars. I started on the ground, transferred to the ISS for refueling and resupply, planned out a low energy trip from earth to mars using TransX, executed the burn and off I went. However, I realised almost immediately after finishing the burn that all...
