TransX orbital plane

[cougarman1701]

Ok I have the Trans x down for the most part except how does the orbital alignment (the big gery bar) play in to all this I have been working the dgiv to venus for the satelite deployment can someone maybe send me a pic of what the transx mfd is supposed to look like with the orbital plane in correct position. If not then I need a more comprehensive understanding of how the orbital plane plays a roll in this. thank you.

The gray line is where your orbital plane and your target's orbital plane intersect. The first phase is to take off when you are just about at the gray line and take off directly to the heading reading that transX calculates. Then watch as your relative inclination decreases. As it decreases the gray line will move away from your green orbit line. When the gray line is perpendicular to your green orbit line you have achieved the best relative inclination until you achive full orbit and then once again approach the gray line as you orbit. Then as you approach the gray line you have to look for the little round circles on each end of the line. If you are approaching the circle that is filled in gray then you must orient your self antinormal to reduce your rel. inc. If you are approaching the circle that is not filled in then you must orient normal for the rel. inc. burn. Try to get your rel. inc. down to less than .1.

Does this makes sense to you?
