Are there differences in the IMFD versions. Shouldnt I always use the latest version?

Has your question got something to do with the IMFD tutorials? I also wondered about that because in the one interplanetary mfd tutorial it tells you to use the latest version and then later tells you to use a previous version for a reason i can't remember right now.Are there differences in the IMFD versions. Shouldnt I always use the latest version?
The Orbit Eject program doesn't work correctly in versions after 4.2, IIRC. That would be the only reason to use an older version, and only for that purpose as the later versions are more capable and accurate.
Apparently I was more tired than I realized last night. It's Orbit Insert that doesn't work on the newer versions, not Orbit Eject. My mistake - sorry for any confusion. I've always done my insertion burns manually with the retrograde AP, so it's never bothered me. However, Orbit Insert does help prevent overshooting the insertion point under time compression.
perhaps you could contact the author.
Jarmonik IS the author.
What kind of condition is causing the Orbit Insert to fail. There has been many kind of problem with Orbit Insert but it should be fixed in 5.2. I have only tested it in the Earth/Moon system with Apollo and DG.
Yes, it's working in 2009 Beta and the LTMFD is also working.:thumbup:Is IMFD work correct in Orbiter beta 2009?
That is wondeful because we can use that full manual again. I am not very good at flying and only use the dgiv and arrow so far becuase of the help with autopilots. I want to go through the manual gain especially for surface take-offs to get into orbit and to land on earth, by two biggest problems at the moment. I will download the 5.3b version and start learnining step by step again.S I'm planning on releasing a version 2.0 once I get out of school (early may). I will include this update, typo fixes, and so far one other playback: flight to saturn with a direct transfer to Titan (just straight shot, no going into orbit around saturn or anything like that). If anybody else has another suggestion for a playback, please let me know so I can incorporate it.
