CLOSE THE THREAD! Because I am an Orbinaut. I left Earth June 23rd, 2018. Arrived at Mars Febuary 26, 2019 Left a month later and arrived at Jupiter, May 15, 2022. After exploreing the Jovian System for six months, I left for Earth on December 23rd, 2022 Landing at The Cape October 1st...

Here is the scn OK, so this is the scenerio. IMFD is not open during the save. But when i go to IMFD once I've launched this scn it's already targeting Mars. BEGIN_DESC END_DESC BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT System Sol Date MJD 58292.8687372756 END_ENVIRONMENT BEGIN_FOCUS Ship GL-01...

somehow, I've gotten to Mars. IMFD is still stuck on Mars so no matter what scenerio I open, the target is always Mars. Any thoughts on how to reset IMFD? -----Post Added----- For example, once at Mars, how do i clear IMFD for Jupiter, or the return to Earth? This answer wold solve...

Instructions received. On a clean install I'll install one version only and try again. I'll begin with 5.1. Thanks! Oh and the only reason I wanted to try the alignplanes, orbit, and transfer MFD's are that I know those intimately.

All 3 version. 4.2.1, 5.0 and 5.1 I've tried each one.

Nope - tried it and no SRC button comes up. If I can't reset IMFD - well, game over. come on - no one has an idiots guide to getting to mars?? no tutorial reaches my synapse. The closest thing that's worked is that step guide from the first page. But if i can't reset IMFD, then it too is...

VERY helpful Tommy - thanks!! That answers a huge question! and no, I haven't made the ejection burn yet. Still in Orbit after arriving from launch a few moments earlier. EXCEPT There is no SRC button on my IMFD - so how do you clear IMFD to set the target. No matter what I do, including...

That's a fine tutorial. I'll print it and read it and see if it helps. The version of the MFD I have is 5.1 - do i need to go back to 4.2.1? One of the opening statements in your tutorial is, "This tutorial will not tell you what to do" I kinda wish it would tell me what do to . . . that...

In using the method I outlined in the previous post - a couple questions arise. 1) do i have to align with Mars using the align hud prior to the ejection burn or is that handled autmotically? 2) I saved a scenerio where I'm in orbit. Now IMFD won't function. It comes up with the wrong target...

So I tried IMFD and the following suggestion: This is for going to the moon 1. First you get a Deltaglider IV with unlimited fuel docked to the ISS. 2. Then open up IMFD 3. Press menu 4. Press Course 5. Press set on orbit eject 6. Press target 7. Type moon (press enter on your keyboard after...

Bless you :)

Well, first from reading these posts, I discovered you HAVE to be on Earth when you start the TransX process. Let me retry the process and see where I get. I've never gotten past setting up the ejection burn. Once I burn I just go and go and nothing is changing on the MFD to tell me what to...

Thanks for all the suggestions - I'll try them all :) I'll tell you this, I've been flying Orbiter since early 2004 - that's how bad I am lol still haven't reached Mars in all that time lol

Is there a way to get to Mars in the Deltaglider without using Transx or the other one people use - can't even think of the name since my head exploded about an hour ago. Look, I'm a smart guy - but i cannot get to mars with either of these two MFDs. I've read every tutorial, done everything...
