Note that the N-body system wouldn't make much of a difference compared to a stock system for that picture, as the difference for Hohmann transfers isn't much (in this scenario) and the orbits are elliptical just like in stock on an Earth centered inertial. But I do agree to the time button, or maybe even have a button that would increment the time based on orbital periods, but that's hard if the rendezvous is on an hyperbolic intersection, so maybe just a time slider. I also doubt that this feature will ever exist, but it would be really useful to have.

I agree, and for anyone wondering: Here is an example to what a target reference frame can do: Here you see a kerbals position with respect to a lander (stock + principia). And its a bit more visually understandable to see what's going on here. The only downside is that you can't see if your spacecraft will crash into a body on its way towards the target. This reference frame is partially the reason I completely switched to principia a while ago. edit: Note that here you can also easily see the ascending / descending node compared to the targets orbit, so it's nicer to adjust inclinations like this too. Here is another example, like this you not only get to see the first closest approach, but one that is 2 days ahead. Here a simple prograde maneuver is planned to intercept an orbit from a satellite in a different orbital plane. After that it's really easy to adjust a closest approach with a second maneuver.

I think stock handles switching reference frames already (automatically) with encounters in map view (i.e. clicking on a planet when there's an incoming encounter and seeing how it will fly by based on that planets inertial). So I presume handling a surface reference frame should also be possible, although maybe a bit trickier to implement with a stock like conic system on rails.

Hello, I would like to make a rough model of Arrokoth for a New-Horizons mission, but I'm not really sure how to add the shape in, because it's a bit peculiar. Is a shape like this even possible with Kopernicus? Otherwise I'll just stick with putting Dres into it's orbit for the mission Thanks in advance.

Hello, things that I would really like to see in KSP 2 are surface fixed reference frames, let me elaborate: There is this mod called principia, it models n-body gravitation and has an option to manually change reference frames, one of the options is a surface-fixed one. This one is really useful for analyzing how a satellite drifts in say a geostationary orbit, or even a Molniya orbit, and is really nice for fine tuning orbits like that. Here is an example how this would look in a RSS KSP 1 system in a geostationary orbit: Here you see a satellites history as it moves into GEO (using RSS + principia). It is clearly visible that at the final trajectory, the satellite has very minimal movement with reference to the fixed surface of Earth (in map view). In principia there is also this other reference frame, where you can select a target, and the target becomes the center of the reference frame (like the visual effect you'd get when you get an encounter with another body), this is way more intuitive to look at than 2 closest approach markers as we would have in stock KSP 1. I would really enjoy these features in KSP 2, if possible.

Great, I'll start digging into the MA part of the program, see if I can figure it out a little bit. Thanks man, and also, sorry for the late replay

Can somebody make a tutorial video on how to import and execute a manouver using the multi flyby sequencer option? I can't get the manouver to work on something like kerbin-eve-moho without manually adjusting with correction burns and moving the main manouver nodes It would be super helpfull!

When I open ksp tot application, I get a document inside the folder popping up and inside it says this: document: ksptot The weird thing is that it worked yesterday, where I opened it while installing mrc, but after the installation was complete, it never launched again. All that happens when I open it in task manager is that it opens as a background program, then it spikes to 10% cpu usage and after that it goes to 0% and closes itself again. Seems like someone else above me had the same problem too... Anyone knows what's going on? Edit: I did this: https://nl.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/98050-why-do-i-get-an-error-saying-undefined-function-or-variable-matlabrc-when-executing-a-program-th And did the first workaround: http://prntscr.com/sbqjv1 And It opened now, just took a little while. I am not sure if I gotta do this every time I try to open but atleast it works!

What exactly did you do? I seem to be having the exact same problem, I reinstalled mrc but it's only launching/closing in task manager...

So I was planning to go to Pluto in Real solar system, but that takes alot of deltaV, in order to save a little bit I'd like to plan a gravity assist but I don't know what mod I can use for that?

Hey, Back in the days I was too young to have ever heard about steam, so I bought the direct download version. Now that steam workshop is a thing, I really want to have the steam version without paying money to get it, just for a steam workshop function. Is there any way to make my hopes and dreames reality? Thanks anyway

Oh, it's not a stock design, I used proceduralwings and tweakscale to make it somewhat work

It works close to the ground, slowly lifts itself up to about 10km, then flies almost stable in a straight line. Want the ship file?

it works with it pushing too.... trust me, I tried it

http://prntscr.com/ibgmal I think it has something to do with the wings on ground principle but I am not sure... As the speed of the plane goes up, the pitch goes up, as the speed goes down it pitches back down gaining more speed. http://prntscr.com/ibh4gl <-- that is a building guide you can try in real life, you just need a really thin wooden plank that is 10cm thick and a long stick and some tape http://prntscr.com/ibh5m9 here is how it would look, I made this at a university (TU delft), it has a little hook at the front to launch it using an elastic taped to the ground. sadly I didn't bother to film it, and I don't have it anymore. here is a video of it in ksp It flies without gimbal, control surfaces or SAS
