Question IMFD vs TransX

[Will]

Hello,

I get the impression that these two are very similar, what are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks.

A quick search found this.
TransX or IMFD
Interplanetary autopilot?
IMFD vs. TransX?
TransX is overly complicated...
TransX and IMFD how to calculate the trajectory？？

It basically boils down to which one you find the easiest to use.

Pros:
IMFD - Autopilot, Auto-created trajectories, orbit insertion AP...
TransX - Flyby mode

I've just started fiddling with IMFD.
I have heard (not direct experience) that IMFD is the simpler one, while with TransX you have to input/control every and each variable.

Many have said this before me:
IMFD - A wonderful set of tools each of which can perform its task well.
TransX - A wonderful multi-tool that can perform many tasks well.

As Scruce said, it comes down to which paradigm you're more comfortable with.

That said, IMFD is also known for being more new-user-friendly. You can get more done with less fiddling, but nothing close to what either tool is capable of for advanced users.

I preferred TransX due to it's "stage" system.

Wait...what? I didn't say that. :lol:

As for me,I prefer TransX because it can design more complicated trajectory like voyager,cassini and so on,but it has its drawbacks,TransX doesn't have autopilot function,which means your manual burn may be not accurate.

I also have two questions,even if I turn off the perturbation in orbiter launch pad,the data showed in TransX changes slowly after a mid-course correction and I had to make another correction burn when I'm about to approaching the planet,why? Another question,can we add the low engine calculation function to design the orbit like dawn?
