Hello to all. I hope over the past 8 or so months, everybody has been able to use IMFD. It's time for an update, however. IMFD full manual version 2.0, cowritten by me and Tommy, will be released sometime in mid-May hopefully. Some changes:
New Playbacks:
Earth to Titan: slingshot around jupiter, deadstick aerocapture/aerobrake and landing on PreludeII Titan. This will be done in the stock DG, and it will arrive to Titan with 34% fuel remaining!!!!!!
Simple slingshot tutorial: for those who don't want to sit around watching that long Earth to Titan flight, this will walk you through slingshot setup, from before Jupiter encounter to after slingshot. It will assume you can complete a basic interplanetary flight already.
Earth--Moon--Earth free return.
There will be offsetting the target procedures in one of these playbacks. And more will be written in the offsetting the target section in the manual.
The manual will now have its images in .png format. So the file will be bigger, but the images will be brighter/more clear.
Also, rewording of sentences in the manual will be done, because I'm sure there are some grammar mistakes and some sentences that are not clear.
The purpose of this thread is so people can suggest more things to add to the IMFD full manual. If you have a suggestion, please feel free to ask for it, and it will very likely be implemented.
