Hey,
I'm not quite an beginner at Orbiter, but I am not a pro, neither. I need and step by step guide how to get to Mars, or just simply on interplanetary travel. So far I have watched all of the episodes of Absolute Beginner Guide from David Courtney, 'till his first interplanetary tut came along. I got completely rekt. And, so far, I am able to plan precise Moon approaches (fuel efficent/fast), dock with any station, make Earth-Moon Moon-Earth slingshots, I can land on any landing location or at any base with precisement of a neurosurgeon. But my attempts on interplanetary travel were a complete disasters. The only, completely made by me travel to another planet was with DG, with infinite fuel, to Jupiter. It took me a great manner of fiddling around with SyncOrbitMFD and TransX, but I made it. Well - I cannot say that either. I got the worst encounter that can happen. An extremely high Pe. Well it doesen't matter now. I cannot get to any other planet than Jupiter anyways. Oh, and one more thing - I didn't fully understood how I am supposed to make an encounter with TransX. I understand the principles of TransX and it's variables, but that's like everything.
