Hi
New fairly new to Orbiter. Not using with any mods and don't wish to use mods at this time. I am repeating the DG to Moon trip I watched in the tutorials.
No problems up to the ejection burn where I have a couple of questions. Does it matter what the orbital relationship of earth and moon are when you plan the burn with HTO? What is TLe? Does it need to be near 11 degrees for the planned burn? I am never anywhere close to 11 degrees.
The mid-course correction appears to be performed when earths gravitational influence is .20. Is that a good way to time when the mid-course correction occurs? I can't seem to get my lunar orbit to change to intersect with Brighton. I am using normal+ attitude but my orbital plane on the map doesn't budge when I burn. I made sure my orbital plane was displaying on the map. In the tutorial it doesn't take much DV to change the orbit to intersect with Brighton. I can't seem to get my orbital plane to move much at all.
I noticed my perilune is very very high at mid-course, something on the order of 24M. Is my lunar intercept just to poor?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
