Display succesful mission flight path

[MariusP]

Hi

I have done some search for such possibility, but could not find anything similar, so perhaps somebody has an idea:

What I would like to do, is after a succesful rocket mission, to review the performed flight with the possibility to see the flight path on the mapscreen.

Example: I have done my mun flight and orbiting and would like to see this on the map screen - I have KSP since few weeks- so yes for me the mUn is already a big success (in science mode). This would be also helpful, when disussing solutions with friends.

I would be thankful if sombedy knows if there is such possibility to review mission history with the saved track?

thank you
Marius

This is a good idea. If memory serves, there is a mod called "Trajectories" which does something similar.

I don't think it draws orbits, though, as drawing in space is troublesome. What body should the completed path be drawn relative to? If it's relative to Kerbin, it won't hit the Mün most of the time. If it's relative to Mün, it won't hit Kerbin most of the time. If it's relative to the Sun, it will be left behind pretty fast. If it's anchored to Kerbin but rotates to track the Mün, it will work with Mün, but not Minmus or any planet.

Not really. Trajectories plots the course of an aerobraking or reentering spacecraft while taking into account the rotation of the planet and atmospheric drag.

Anyway, back to the point - this would actually be a good idea to implement; however, it would be pretty hard, considering how you'd have to record the orbital position of every ship, moon, and planet for it to work right. Perhaps a good method would be to use a 2D video which would be exported to mp4 format.

Let's try again. [URL="http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/49216-0-23-Persistent-Trails-record-share-and-replay-track-data!-%28Dec-19-V1-1"]Persistent Trails[/URL] is what I was looking for.

Hi

thank you for the fast replies
Ok , as it seems - when going into detail it is more complicated (reference to which planet etc.) so I think there will be no such solution, but at the end it would be nice to have some graphical summary instead of only the text wondow.

Still I will try the mentioned plug in.

thank you
