I got it to work, looks like my real problem was that I didn't notice the whitelist file in the mod, so I have it all working, thanks.
This is a great tool, I am starting to see the power in it, but I'm struggling to bridge the gap between planning a mission (with MA or LVD) and actually executing it. I tried loading up a sample mission in MA (the EveJoolEeloo mission) as I thought it would help me just learn how to execute a planned mission, but I'm not sure how it is possible to launch into the planned initial state with the precision required to keep the rest of the mission on track. I launch into an orbit that seems reasonably similar, but reoptimizing on the new initial state fails. What am I missing? What should be the process\workflow from event to event while actually flying a mission?
