It starts you in a high orbit around Venus with a limited amount of fuel (not enough for a conventional escape) back to Earth. I downloaded a replay which reveals that the trick is to perform a retrograde burn, placing your PE at around 100K alt, then to finish up with a prograde burn...

Martin spoke of a new orbiter release which will include greatly improved atmospheric modeling, especially between 100-200K. When is this scheduled for release? So far, 2006 is the most recent, right? I can't seem to find the topic in question where I read this.

I've seen all kinds of crazy slings, many of which take you back toward the Sun or require extra orbits before catching the next Planet out (not too LOX-friendly either). But I don't think I've ever seen any variant VEM in direct succession. Is it even possible to have a course that departs...

A Module or MFD (or even an external utility) which imports data from the Sol.cfg, and is interactive. It would display all (or a selection of) your Planets and their orbits (possibly in logarithmic fashion), as well as your own position ("you are here"). And it would allow one to go forward...

Surface measurement is apparently in Kilometers and the edge of Earth's atmosphere is about 100k. This is what one sees in the HUD and it's only good until you get into space. But space travel uses a measurement where the edge of Earth's atmosphere is around 6 to 6.5M (Mega or Million...

How to distill this down: I'm attempting to retrace the trajectory of Cassini. I've even downloaded a scenario saved in well-organized parts. My greatest trouble comes with the most critical sling of all - the final Venus encounter enroute to Earth. Setup (using TransX): I've just lost the...
