Hi there. After many tries to understand the sense of the module, I decided to work on TransX MFD friendly tutorial based on schemas and tables. Probably, I'll need some assist while work in progress.
What is done, but not finished:

Thanks, there's a lot to do, a lot of mistakes. From my own experience, I got stuck in Orbiter when I opened TransX, and thought: "What is this?". Then, after a while, I realized how well-harmonized the TransX module is, the problem is the lack of proper explanation of its logic and interface. So the goal (for newcomers) is "I opened the tutorial, saw and clearly understood what was going on here, from one glance". As few words as possible and more diagrams. Diagrams that speak for themselves.
 
isn't it reasonable to apply blue dashed color for target hyperbola of escape plan and for target vector of hyperbola of sling shot plan, and to separate the color of cruise plan from the color of through point/inital plan.
Therefore we have all blue lines for target orbits, dashed for plan and solid for planets (target escape - blue dashed, target planet - blue solid). Also all three interconnected trajectories would have three dedicated color: yellow dashed - cruise plan, blue dashed - target hyperbola/vector of escape and fly-by plan and green - focus trajectory as base for all calculations.

does it make sense
don't be hurry to say no, just think about it :)

p.s. and planets atmpsphere to dashed grey
p.p.s. and manoeuvre orbit is dashed red :)

a little update for tut
