I apologize if this has already been covered; I have not been on the forums for a while, and I could not find a topic on this.
I am using the latest version of TransX ([ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3039"]TransX[/ame]) with Orbiter 2010p1. I have Gravity Gradient Torque, Radiation Pressure, and Non-spherical gravity sources turned on.
What I am trying to do is use TransX to intercept the ISS. I am following the tutorial on youtube: Planes are aligned, below the ISS, so I bump up the Prograde to overlap the ISS orbit, and then I start changing the launch date. Sometimes, it's about 83k seconds, but fine. Hit VW to get the alignment right, fine. dV, 80, fine. Fast forward time...by the time my launch window has arrived, dV is now at 1.3k. When I used TransX with 2006p1, this problem did not occur.
If someone can help me with this, I would be very grateful.
Thank you,
~Kaito
