Addon request: touchdown spot/Kerbin's orientation on reentry

[DerGolgo]

Nothing to see here. Move along. Maybe go install "Trajectories" and, in map view, zoom out.

clarification regarding Trajectory mod

[micha]

You want the "Trajectories" mod. It's not perfect (especially if you decouple parts of your spaceship after your burn) but it can get you into a ballpark area.

Yeah, I have tried trajectory in the meantime, and I've read up the FAQ.
As stated in the Edit above: What I'm looking for is what it specifically can't do. Predict the reentry/impact spot for a maneuver yet to be executed. So as to do it in one shot, with no corrections.

Umm, yes it can do that.

Add a manoeuvre node and adjust it; watch Trajectories update the projected landing spot. 

What it can't do is accurately predict the trajectory of a future -stage- (ie, the trajectory after decoupling your lander).

So either do your final burn with your lander configuration, or with a bit of practice and you'll be able to predict yourself how much the predicted trajectory changes after decoupling.

Also, the steeper the re-entry the less the trajectory will change.

Hrmpf, I found my mistake.
Hadn't zoomed out far enough.
I'm sure that, last time I tried, the trajectory had appeared in map view when I had executed my maneuver without further zooming out.
Combined with the mention of future stages in the mod's FAQ, I had gotten a wrong impression.
This mod request is done. Thanks!
