Careful. We don't want to turn TransX into a "monkey-push-button, Monkey-go-to-mars end-game" In all seriousness though, I second the notion. I believe it's more realistic to program in what you want to do, and then have the computer carry out the instruction exactly on time.

Do this: Open the scenario. Press FWD on the right side to take TransX to Stage 2. Press VW on the left side twice to View: Target. Click ++ to turn on Auto-Center. --EDIT-- Here's a video to show what I'm seeing.

Sounds good, but I downloaded your latest dll and tested it using the scenario I posted in my previous comment. The Auto-Center seems to be disabled or something because when I turn it on, the ship doesn't orient at all any more. Perhaps it has something to do with this new fix?:

Great addition Enjo. I requested this feature about 2 years ago, but the response I got was not very good. (Someone told me I was trying to turn TransX into a "monkey-push-button, Monkey-go-to-mars end-game") I'm glad someone else realized the benefit of having the X stay automatically centered...

Feature request: This idea comes from a feature found in IMFD. When you are waiting for launch, you want to take off from your launch site when you can have a 90 degree heading. IMFD actually tells you how many seconds you are from having a 90 degree heading. This is useful for timing your...

I hate this bug too. However, only the name is lost. When you select the base, note the Latitude and Longitude. When BaseSync resets to Target: Surface, the Latitude and Longitude remain the same, so you're still actually targeting the correct position on the surface body.

Having big boobs helps too.

I have a lot of videos on YT about Orbiter. I've been making them for about 3 years now. I do have monetization enabled and I've never given it a moment's thought until I saw this thread. I can tell you from my own experience that there's little to no money to be made from making Orbiter videos...

I would look at it this way. You have: - The version that comes packaged with Orbiter 2010. (Which is broken, so no one should use it.) - The tried and true graphics fix / enter button version. (Continue using this version if you like I suppose.) - The 2013.11.28 version that dgatsoulis put on...

I started making a "how to calculate stuff" document, purely for my own sake, but you might find it interesting/informative. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1A3oKluj0-Sc93zYaUqdslh4C5tqBXeVARBWb1odzeuQ/edit Also, this link dgatsoulis showed me a year or so ago is really useful...

In my original version of that scenario, I was arriving back at Earth red hot in a barely survivable situation. So in the version of the scenario that I posted here, I was going for the lowest Pe Velocity at Earth that I could get. I also wanted a really close pass to Venus, purely for...

If I understand your post, you're looking for sling examples so you can test the auto-min function? Here's a Mars -> Venus -> Earth sling I set up a little over a year ago. I believe the current solution is a good one, so you can try to set up a duplicate plan with auto-min and see if you can...

Ah... so that's where the flickering is coming from. I've noticed it for months but didn't realize it was a problem in R12. I reverted back to R11c and the flickering is gone. (Why does it say Lights=0 in the bottom left though? And how do I turn that off?) Is R13 on the way to resolve the...

This add-on is from 2003.

When taking off and getting into orbit, it's ideal to launch when you can fly as close to a 90 degree heading as possible. I brought up Orbiter and looked at the MJD you provided. At that particular time, you would have had to launch with a heading of either 173 degrees (almost straight south)...

I'm using a custom version of TransX that dgatsoulis made. It adds the Rough adjustment (which is MORE than Course - very useful when you need to adjust the MJD forward by months/years), and it adds the Micro adjustment (which is LESS than Hyper - which is useful for fine tuning all maneuvers.)...

Perhaps a video reply will be easiest:

What I'm seeing in the 3 screenshots you provided is that you are inputting the velocity incorrectly. In Stage 1:1, View: Escape Plan, you take the total Delta V and input that as your prograde. That's it. What you're doing is you're going into Stage 2 and trying to copy each velocity element...
