Alright guys, this post is for all you experienced orbiteers out there. If you guys could lend a hand to this rookie I would really appreciate it.
I am doing the IMFD tutorial Moon2Earth located @ http://koti.mbnet.fi/jarmonik/Moon2Earth.zip. So I follow the each step until i complete orbit eject and on my way to earth, but something weird happens... see for urself:
As you can see I am doing this flight with a DGIV. My question is, why is the trajectory line so bent? As I progress the flight, the ship doesn't move hardly at all and finally starts moving away from the moon once it is out of it's SOI.
I found this really weird because when I was flying AMSO this never happened when I did the TEI burn. See the picture for AMSO below:
So I am totally confused. Why doesn't my DGIV trajectory look like the one for AMSO? Aren't they basically the same thing? Trying to reach earth? :huh:
I hope I've been clear enough.
