Gravity Assists


Recommended Posts

Man, I thought I had these things figured out but planning them is just so hard. Is their some sort of tool or mod that can help me set them up? Why is there a lack of tutorials of how to do advanced gravity assist maneuvers on the internet? I can do basic things like Mun assists and Jool assists but the rest is beyond me.

perhaps because there aren't hard-coded rules for gravity assists. even the real rocket scientists are still figuring  new stuff out.

and yes, planning an advanced gravity assist takes hours.

 

I can point to you two tools that were pointed to me, but with a big warning: I never managed to make them work, and ultimately found them no better than just eyeballing stuff
