Does anybody know how to transfer back to Earth? I use Transfer MFD bacause TransX is working slow on my computer.
 
It would be rather helpful if we knew where you are and what craft you are flying.
Unless you are at Mercury or Venus, it is impossible to use TransferMFD to get back to earth.

Spacecraft: XR2 Ravenstar
Location: Brighton Beach
 
Should be pretty easy with IMFD assuming you don't mind using that, check Orbit-Hangar for a tutorial

On me too. I have an old PC. TransX must do A LOT of calculations to be so slow on old PCs.
 
:lol:Here's a quick "Han Solo" trick that's fun also. Say your on the moon.. and you just stole a ship. No time for those pesky calculations.. your in a hurry.
Get into an orbit.. hurry before the star cops realize the ship is gone... then align your plane to Earth. Once you see the earthrise.. give it 20-30 seconds.. then do an escape burn. Watch your orbit.. once it extends out at a decent angle.. your on your way. Just be sure you check and correct your course once you get in Earths gravity influence. And for god's sake.. maintain radio silence!


Oh.. and to be fair.. there really isn't a decent tutorial of Trans X. The one that's on there is listed as a video but for some reason only the audio gets downloaded.. at least for me. I can't seem to find a single tutorial for trans x even in a web search. Still looking. So please.. if any give links to tutorials.. please have a quick look at them to see if they are actually valid tutorials. I did find a tutorial for IMFD so I'm going to download that MFD now and see if I can get the hang of it.

Edit..
I actually found a real trans x tutorial:
