When I launch the default 'Landed at Brighton Beach' scenario of the XR5 vessel and take-off for a flight to Earth using a direct entry, I arrive in the middle of the night at Cape Canaveral. Also, it's always a bit of a surprise whether I end up approaching from the north or south. I am using the Base Approach program of IMFD to calculate the burns.
I like to be able to have more control about the local time at arrival. And I want to aim for an approach from the north so I can land on runway 15 without having to make any steep turns. When doing direct entries, I somehow need to get the timing right at a very early stage of the flight as there won't be a parking orbit to wait in.
But I don't know how to do this. Simply launching 12 hours later didn't do it.
Anybody who can shed some light on how to achieve this?
