Help! Can Someone Explain how "Interactive iinterplanetary guide" Works?

[Guest]

The site link: http://ksp.olex.biz/

Does anyone know how it works? If so

How? I'm not the best in english so can someone explain it easily to me...?

THANKS

Select the planet you are on right now and your target planet. This site will tell you how to get to your target planet.

You get two angles: Phase angle and ejection angle.

Phase angle: Target planet must be in front of your planet by x degrees. If the value is negative, then your planet must be in front of the selected planet.

Ejection angle shows you when to start your burn, because you want to leave your planet's orbit at a specific place.

Take a look at the images generated by that website:

First one shows you how the planets must align, next one shows you how your ship must align with Kerbin's direction of movement.

How can i know which angle i'm at?

Right now there's no way of knowing except focusing on Kerbol and using a protractor. Maybe they'll add such a feature soon.

This mod will help you out it gives the Phase Angle and Ejection Angle CLICK HERE It's a Chip Part that you place on your ship...very very helpful for Interplanetary Travel, just use it alongside the information that you get from http://ksp.olex.biz/

That is a protractor. They are used for determining angles. many people are holding them up to their screens to get a rough idea of the angle that the planets are at, and a rough idea of the location of their ejection burn. It's all very Kerbal.

To hell with your "mod", making things easier! Real men use a protractor.

Just kidding, the mod's actually really helpful when combined with the interplanetary guide.

So if im right....

when im flying in an orbit around the earth (kerbal) at 100km hight... and when i do want to go to duna I need to press "do the maths" it says "The ejection angle: 150.91" and when my ship around the The planetary phase angle (44.36) and the mod says that im now on a ejection angle 150 i need to boost my way out?

I prefer triangular one

with an grip (add rubber pads if you still like your LCD) !

There are a ton of mods popping up in the plugin section that will tell you these angles on a moment by moment basis.

Edit: Oh and I have a nifty circular protractor with the little arm on it. Wait for the planet to hit the arm and blast off!

It is funny...I don't have a protractor, so my first few flights to Jool and Duna were totally eyeballing it. Both were rather successful, no quick save and no quickload just some luck and lots of thrusting away from Kerbol until capture.

I don't do that now, because I use the mods now.
