Advanced Question Aid With Orbital Physics.

[Matuchkin]

All I can do in this game is an orbital flight with the DG or Atlantis. I can't, however, perform complicated transfers to ships/ bodies, because, unlike in Kerbal Space Program, this simulator is not known to show your exact orbital trajectory, along with every celestial body's SOI, on any scale. So I need some help: equations, hints, optimal planet positions (for inter-planetary transfers), etc. Anything will work.

Thanks. :tiphat:

Well, actually it does show that pretty well, but for interplanetary flights, you need a MFD like transx or IMFD. A old version of transx is bundled in Orbiter AFAIR, but you should use the more recent versions of the MFDs.

Both MFDs allow you to calculate such trajectories by different approaches.

I recommend TransX to Kerbal players because it is more similar to Kerbal's node system.
