Thanks Tommy. I'll give it a try insuring OrbitMFD and the HUD are referenced to the moon.

Thanks to both of you! Boogabooga that page on orbital elements is excellent. I now see how launch time of day affects the ships orbital plane orientation. Obviously I am new to orbital mechanics but I am beginning to understand the fundamentals. Urwumpe many thanks for your explanation of...

I repeated the flight last night and made sure the moon's gravitational influence was dominant before I burned to align my orbit with Brighton Beach. I also insured the moon was referenced in the HUD and MFD. Everything worked fine, but I used a lot of fuel getting my orbital path to intersect...

I have self flown the DG to Moon tutorial pretty much successfully, but I have a question regarding the RInc parameter in the Align Planes MFD. I advanced time and waited for this parameter (Relative Inclination) to reach a minimum before I launched so that my earth orbit Align Planes burn...

Thanks to both of you. Boogaboogaboo I didn't realize TransX was included as an Orbiter module. Found it an activated it in modules. Went through one transfer with it. Its gonna be a winner. A lot of fine tuning and forward looking lunar intercept view is very nice. Tommy I launched at low...

Hi New fairly new to Orbiter. Not using with any mods and don't wish to use mods at this time. I am repeating the DG to Moon trip I watched in the tutorials. No problems up to the ejection burn where I have a couple of questions. Does it matter what the orbital relationship of earth and moon...
