Is there a Gravity Assist/Planet Alignment Mod/Calculator?

[MaxL_1023]

Hello Everyone,

I am playing KSP with RO and RSS, but this applies to KSP in general. Is there a mod or calculator out there which can find gravity assist windows? I just launched a flyby mission to Neptune and needed a direct burn of over 10k delta-v to get there inside of the 15-year contract deadline. If I could have used Jupiter/Saturn or something I bet I could have shaved off 20-30% of that.

Is there help for this, or do I need to make every outer-system launch with a rocket larger than the Saturn V?

Thanks,

Max
