And we have touch down!!! I overshot a little bit, but was able to make a circle and pick up the ils. I was deceived by the message; no re-entry at this time, however a re- entry did occur. I did use 40km as lowest point. Thank you all for giving me some valuable info

Ok, so this means that i should not do my de- orbit burn on exactly the other side of The planet relative to the landing site, but a fraction later? I have been using the auto pilot. Default it gives a 40 AoA. I Will try this on à 30 degree aoa, see what it does.

Hi, If I aim for 60 Km, I bounce off the atmosphere. Therefore i thought to go in steeper. I'll try the 30 AOA, but then one looses less speed. I'll let you know.. Regards, Joep by the way: i am working with the DGIV-2

Hi everyone, I am back after a few years and this time i am determend to master the art of reentry. However. I want to make a reentry from lower orbit. About 222 km, I got BaseSync within 14 km, and Airobrake seems to be fine too... Still something is going wrong: :sos: Sometimes i bounce of...

It is done! Hi Guy's, I made it! Both MIR and ISS are easy accessable once one got the hang of it. Thanks for the help and now i'll aim for reentry... and then the moon. " I love it when a plan comes together! " :speakcool:

Thank you all for the explainations! Things are much easier once you know on which path you can walk. ApA is not the only possible intersection with MIR! Realizing that makes it much easier. I'll play a bit with the different options in the Sync MFD and let you guys know if i am more...

Hi Everyone, Great stuff this Orbiter, I have managed to get trough the tutorials and I thought I started to get the hang of things....Until: I have been trying this for a while now and the same problem keeps comming up..What am I doing wrong here? I depart with the DGIV from KSC...
