Problem Launch MFD with Direct Ascent program BETA

[Kriss]

Hello. I have tried doing a direct ascend with this MFD, and I do everything after the little readme that followed that betafunction, and still it seem not to calclutate things from total time to tyrning time. I only get head error, and pitchh error.


Have anyone of you been successful doing a direct ascend with this application at all?

Hi. I have Funny you should ask BTW, because I'm returning to development of this function for my graduation.

You'd have to describe the problem better. OK, no calculations, but when did that happen? Did you launch from Cape, or from the equator, using the scenario provided with LaunchMFD's archive?

Here's the most recent version of the plugin in-development. It contains important algorithm fixes and some optimisations. Shouldn't be hogging the CPU so much, and it will get even better soon, but it's still far from being perfect. It's kind of like writing my own simulator...

A significant update:

After fixing kinematic equations I can "stop" at ISS with a repeatable error of 20 km.

Here's the development version:

Note that in the scenario, ISS is at an altitude of 14 km for simplicity, so don't go above.
Let me know of any successes and failures. You also, Gary
