What do you guys prefer, and which one is more user friendly.Basicaly Pros and Cons.want to start traveling to the moon.Thanks
That's normal behaviour of TransX due to the relatively simple model of the solar system that it uses. As your flight (and Neptune's orbit) gets slightly perturbed by the other masses in the solar system, the expected encounter at Neptune changes.However, when I did a long, 5 year trip from Neptune back to earth, it would behave very weird, showing my arrival situation to change as time passed on. This lead me to continuously having to correct,, but I'm not sure if that was necessary. Any advice from experienced TransX users is welcome here..
It does, but only for high thrust engines. It does not work for low thrust engines such as ion engines or VASIMR. This may be what jedidia was meaning (or s/he may be using an old version of TransX before the burn-time readout)TransX does have burn time integration, unless I'm very much mistaken.
I'm a he :lol:(or s/he may be using an old version of TransX before the burn-time readout)
You are correct in that it does not do this. It assumes that all of the Delta-V is delivered in a single instant (the Time to manoeuvre value) and then works out the time to begin the burn to best approximate this.But as far as I know, it did not calculate the gradual change of velocity into the actual course, as IMFD seems to do.
