Maneuver Nodes on the Xbox?

[Lord_Archaic]

I've been seeing other users using maneuver nodes on Xbox....I believe, ann was wondering how to do that....it would be a lot better to know how to use/initiate them....I've read that you need the tracking and other buildings updated to level 2, I was just wondering what the specific control was for it, As I can't find it in the controls menu or settings.

Depending on your preset, you either use a cursor or Look-At to aim at a point on your orbit line. When you do that, a blue dot will appear on your craft's orbit line. Then you click A/Cross to activate. This will bring up a small dialog that says "Add Maneuver/Warp Here". Click the Add Maneuver button. The actual controls for creating maneuver nodes are fairly complex, because you can do a lot of things with maneuver nodes. Basically, there are 3 modes and the bumpers will let you cycle through the modes. They allow you to 1) move the node around on the orbit, 2) adjust the amount of "burn" you want to do in each dimension, 3) select whether the node is supposed to be on the current orbit or a future orbit (or delete the node). Since the controls do so much, it takes practice to use them.

The tutorials also give instructions and help on creating/using maneuver nodes.
