Gravity assist helper mod?

[Rasputin]

While trying to plan my first gravity assist maneuver in vanilla, I tallied up some features I was wishing I had access to. Today I looked around for mods that might contain them already, before I take the step of rolling my own. Couldn't find most of them however.

Are there any mods that cover the following?

1: Ability to specify a maneuver node in terms of angles and magnitude instead of a Cartesian delta

2: Ability to visualize position and rotation of solar system bodies at a given future time

3: Locking a maneuver node's time relative another, so that changing the time of one adjusts the other as well

4: Ability to adjust time of a maneuver forwards or backwards by "synodic" orbits instead of the default, "sidereal" orbits - for instance, if currently in orbit of Kerbin, being able to add one orbit plus the angle that the Mun moves in the interim, so that the maneuver has the same argument relative the Mun

...I found that Precise Maneuver has something very similar to point 1. Suspect it doesn't support maintaining that angle if maneuvers are added or changed before it, though, which would be nice too.

I personally use a modified version of NASA's trajectory optimization tool.

Is it available?

I think that @TheLoneOne is referring to:

Which have the code here: https://github.com/Arrowstar/ksptot

This feature is available:

• "Plan ballistic trajectories, gravity assist maneuvers, injection orbits and more using the same basic orbital mechanics and patched conics system that KSP uses!  No more infinitesimal sphere of influence approximations to ruin your burn planning."

Let me know if you all have any questions with my KSPTOT software!
