Hi. I know this was a 1001 times asked, but :
Please give me some Help of AerobrakeMDF, I cannot precisely deorbit the shuttle. I end up somewhere but not near KSC anyway.
Are roll reversals required to bleed of excess speed?
Where I see on AerobrakeMDF the TIG(if its displayed) or the Dv required for a precise deorbit and landing?

THank you very much.

Not just that, the roll reversals allow you to fly at the needed high decelerations (about 16 m/s²) without skipping out of the atmosphere.

With the bank angle, you control the deceleration, and the roll reversals allow you to keep a certain bank angle without flying a curve away from your landing site.

See here for more details:

Thank for answer but I think that if I can find a deorbit+entry+landing replay, I will, finally, learn how to bring the shuttle down.
Someone can help me with a replay?

Use Auto FCS and watch how it manuvers the shuttle. Im not sure how realistic it is but it does the job nicely.
