Ground Track

[Scilly Guy]

I have been looking for a MOD which will add an estimated ground track for at least the next orbit, it should be something the tracking station offers even if the space craft itself can't see it in the map view although that would be preferable. I have Scansat, but it doesn't seem to add anything this [simple].

SCANSat shows you on its maps both the current orbit and the next one for whatever craft you have loaded in flight or for whatever craft you have selected in the tracking station. Unless I'm totally misunderstanding your request. See below - orange is your past track and blue is the next orbit track.

You can also look up Telemachus, although it is not an ingame mod it does provide ground tracks for more than one future orbit

The only time that SCANsat's orbit tracks won't work is when you haven't upgraded the tracking station. The level 1 (0?) tracking station locks out necessary functions for calculating the next orbit.

Thanks, I'll have to admit that I had installed scansat wrong and assumed that I couldn't use it yet as I hadn't unlocked it in the tech tree. I had placed the folder in the game data folder but it turned out that inside that folder there was another game data fold with another scansat folder inside it.
