Well, I forgot to say that I'm actually French Canadian therefore English is indeed my second language XD I studied a couple of years in an english school though so it should not be an issue. As for the GREs, I'll have to take them, we don't have that in Canada but I need to take the US ones to...

Hey guys, how is it going? I've seen a couple of thread regarding similar topics but I have my own questions for you grad students in the US (especially if some of you are foreign student). I'm gonna be done with my bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering in a couple of year and I'm looking...

Meh, that is not quite true. A composite is made of a matrix and fiber. You have to have distinc properties between the two. Metal alloys are made of more than one material (like Fe and C), but they are not composite material. You have to be able to differentiate the two componants in the...

You sure are lucky, here it's the first day of spring also, but IT IS STILL SNOWING!!!!!!! :thumbsdown:

I am currently studying in Mechanical Engineering. After that I plan to do a Master in Aerospace Engineering in the US (if possible).

Someone should do a Game of Thrones map like this one.

This is IMO the key point with MechJeb. Some people (like me) play KSP more for the building part of the game (and the explosions :lol:). I fly all my missions manually, but some people are not really interested in flying their ship everywhere, therefore I can see why MechJeb is usefull to them...

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant, but with the actual node system you cannot plan more than one orbit later. Let say an orbit is 30 min, you cannot plan a manoeuvre for 40 mins in the future. With this add-on you can.

The time is not that great in this one, I think it only predict your orbit in the future without predicting the planet's future position, therefore you only spin around on your current position. ---------- Post added at 02:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:26 AM ---------- Just to...

Holy smokes! That thing is amaizing! You can see the encounter and you can plan ahead! I never use any mods, but this might be the one I could really use, it looks like a great improvement on the actual node system. I looks a lot like transX lol :hailprobe: ---------- Post added at 12:59 AM...

The thing with MecJeb is that it is pretty much a "press one button and go there" (I think, never used it myself). I don't think there is such a thing in Orbiter. Let say you want to dock in orbiter, you can use the orbit sync MFD to sync, then you have the docking MFD for the docking manoeuvre...

Well, I think the OP wants a press a button and go there in Orbiter, pretty much what MecJeb is (if I'm correct).

There is nothing built-in KSP at the moment, that is also something I would like to have with the maneuvre node. The only way to plan is to say "it's about right for the angle now", then you plan something you see that you need to wait more, time warp, repeat. If we could move the node on...

Would still be nice to have some more infos with the planning thing. But what I would really like to have is an encounter view. When you have an encounter, it's hard to see exactly what your orbit will look like when hitting the soi of the other body. Am I prograde, retrograde, what is the angle...

I guess it's for the same reason car company fans feel assaulted when someone points the default in one of their product... Like I said I like SpaceX, I just don't give a flying f*** about all that economic bullcrap. Sure I highly doubt SpaceX will send millions of people on Mars, but what...
