Ok... I guess this is something that could be helpful for others too. Assuming you're in an LEO want to get to mars.
I made the ejection plan on stage 2. Got a nice prediction and now I have to setup the manoeuvre.
Fine with the Dv (it's just suggested so easy to setup)
Fine with the Dt (I'll adjust my self to minimize the distance from planet)
But how to properly align the plan? I've seen tutorials and it's all about rotating the EJ orientation and adjusting some +/- thrust... or, at least, it's how I understood.
Some says I have to just rotate the ej till get the minimum value and, at that point, put the Incl. and Lan in the Align Plane MFD and try to get to that value.
Sounds reasonable as action but still, once going to manouver, i got horrid results.
Where am I wrong?
