RInc = 0, but all TransferMFD displays is "no intersection". Nothing works. Help?
:idk:

You say that nothing works - what have you tried? Have you followed the steps in both the manual and in Go play in space?

Why yes. I've been following Go Play In Space all along, and done pretty much everything required - which is apparently a plane alignment. RInc is zero, and it should absolutely work.

Oh, I'm on a DGIV.

TransferMFD? Are you trying to dock to the ISS or go to the moon?

"no intersection" doesn't refer to inclination, you need to increase your hypothetical deltaV.

Take a look on p.84 of the Orbiter Manual.

It doesn't work. My HTO doesn't show up at all, even when I press the HTO button. DV+/- makes no difference either. The only buttons working are EJ+/-, but they're pretty much useless without everything else.

How many times are you pressing DV+ ? It takes quite a lot of DV to reach the moon so don't hit it just once or twice and expect it to work.

first press HTO, then hold "DV+" untill the DV readout on the left reads ~3k.

then you should either have an intersection or at least see your hypothetical orbit

good luck!
