Thank you. Actually my textbook says \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{\mu}}. It took me a day to realize it was a typo.
Thank you! That was what actually happened to me. Now I got the correct answer.
I'm trying to calculate Mean anomaly which appears in my textbook but I can't get correct answer.
semi major axis a = 26552.305 km
eccentricity e = 0.747411
mean anomaly at epoch M_0 = 24.70°
inclination i = 63.96°
longitude of ascending node Ω = 33.79°
argument of periapsis ω = 243.99°
t – t_0...
Sorry for the noob question... but I don't understand how to use this.
This is what I did so far:
Open tileedit. Select specific region on the map.
Click Action button. Dialog shows up. Click yes.
Draw something on the map... I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do from here.
It seems .elv...
There are several different approaches to derive this formula. I'm going to show you one example using basic spherical trigonometry because I believe it is the easiest method. (and I need someone to check if I'm doing it right)
Yellow is target orbit. Red is equator. Blue is meridian passing...
Thank you! Actually I remember I read this thread a few years ago. I learned a lot from those videos and articles by flytandem, dgatsoulis and blixel. Maybe I should include link to these materials in my tutorial.
I didn't know the "red line" has such a fancy name. Thank you!
Now I need to...
I've been writing orbiter tutorial for Japanese players for a few years. Now I'm thinking about giving more detailed explanation for TransX Escape plan.
The problem is, there are not so many orbiter players in Japan... no one would correct me even if I made a mistake.
Here is my explanation for...

Is it allowed to upload hi-res planet and moon textures for Orbiter 2010? Seemingly http://orbitersimulator.com/orbiter-2010-downloads/ is no longer available.
All these hi-res textures sum up to roughly 2GB. I guess it is possible to upload some of them to free file hosting service such as...
I didn't know that until today.:facepalm: It seems external pallet is removable only if you use JAXA/HTV and JAXA/HTVpallet instead of JAXA/HTVpayload.
I used to be a huge fan of Perry Rhodan series when I was a kid. I loved those gigantic starships, mutants with superpowers(there are some Japanese mutants with awkward names) and aliens. There's always a jungle planet in every corner of the universe... I quit reading it when I got older simply...
I always recommend TransX for beginners. IMFD has a lot of automation, however, it doesn't tell you why it works. TransX is more simple and easier to understand (especially if you already have played KSP).
I learned how to use TransX with blixel's absolute beginner guide videos.
IMFD full...
