Hi guys,
I've just modified TGT_HEADING Line in the Shuttle Fleet Scenario-files.
I wanted to give the scenarios the historical launch inclination. As i did so and changed the line for example:
TGT_HEADING <xxx> <yyy>
<xxx> = Target heading in degrees
<yyy> = Target orbit apoapsis
Interesting for me is the <xxx>-part. So, i took, for example, the historical inclination value of STS-51-J and changed it in the line into 28.50.
Then i've made a test run on this scenario. But it seems that the shuttle goes off a lot heading north in the ascending node. Looks like flying to the Poles.
So, is the Target heading in degrees equal to the Incination?
Or did i misunderstood?
Is there a way to convert the historical incinations into the scn.files?
Thanks for your help!!
