Is there a way to calculate, in the mission planning stage, the total amount of dV required for a mission - say Earth to Mars and return?
I've become quite confident in performing missions in the DGIV, XR2 and Arrow Freighter and now I want to make the missions as efficient as possible and calculate the amount of fuel needed for the whole mission prior to launch. Once I have the dV data for the whole mission, I can fuel up using the burn time calculator, which tells me the total amount of dV the ship has.
I have a sneaky suspicion the only mfd which might be able to do this is TransX, which I am not familiar with at all and can't seem to get my head round - I use Imfd for all navigation but it only does one stage of the journey at a time.
Any advice would muchly be appreciated.... thanks.
