crusaderuk Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 What are the ideal MechJeb ascent settings for these scenarios:Kerbin to a Munshot orbitMun to a Kerbinshot orbitI dont know about ideal, but I find an orbit of 125k for Kerbin and 150k for Mun ...having a high orbit around Mun allows me to pick a landing site anywhere and have enough height to change orbital planes if need be.

CaptRobau Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 What about the Edit Path settings like Turn start altitude, turn end altitude, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejayek Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 The ideal settings are the big red x, proceeding to use manual controls From my manual flights with minimal spacecraft, I find that a constant gravity turn starting at 10-12km and ending at 70km altitude is most efficient. If you want to be lazy and let mechjeb fly your ship for you (or perhaps just like ship design), those settings are probably reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kosmo-not Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I start my gravity turn at 8km and end it at around 10° at or above 36km. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadrek Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 For Kerbin ascent, I have no idea; I wasn't good enough at rocket design in 0.15 to think that ascent settings mattered more than rocket design, and the 0.16 fuel bug prevents any meaningful efficiency comparisons.For ascent from any body with no atmosphere, lift off and do your gravity turn as soon as you aren't going to hit a mountain or cliff! There's no atmosphere to worry about.Always burn to the inclination you want in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
