I just had an idea that could make AerobrakeMFD even more useful then it already is.
Many space craft change "mode" at a certain point in the reentry. Some deploy chutes, the shuttle ramps down AoA etc.
During a reentry we also often use "waypoints" to aim for.
So here's the idea: What if it was possible to select the altitude of the "touchdown point"? (the point where the MFD stops calculating, and shows final pos. and speed.)
The current version is 0.95.2 so there might be hope for some new feature.:lol:
Being completely C++ illiterate, I've no idea how difficult this would be to implement.
The target Alt could be selected by an input prompt. Another option would be to enter the target(s) in the craft's *.ld file.
Any thoughts?
