Engineer Add-On

[Dr Rendezvous]

Hi Guys,

I'm finding that in 0.21 the Rendezvous data window in Engineer Redux is bugged. Am I alone in this? Is there a known issue I can fix myself?

I need the Celestial Body Intercept Angle data - if I can't get it from Engineer Redux, will Mechjeb provide it? I'm unsure how to use MJ's Rendezvous Planner - when prompted to choose a target, how do I do that for a celestial?

Thanks for your help

Engi is not fully .21 compatible right now, try Protractor.

Getting a fuel efficient transfer window is a lot more complicated than you might think. See this thread :

MJ2 will set up interplanetary transfer nodes for you, but are not always ideal.

Also, this post gives a good explanation on how to get around transfer window's :

Good luck on finding the tool that is right for you! I hope engineer redux is updated soon. It's one of my favorites.

Edit : I don't think I actually answered your question. For MJ2, double click on your target body to set as target, then use "transfer to another planet" under the maneuver node planner to create the transfer node.

Edit 2 : just found this page that gives a few more tips on using mechjeb : http://wiki.mechjeb.com/index.php?title=Manual/Maneuver_Planner

Good news: KER was just updated this afternoon to be 0.21 compatible!

Thank you both for your suggestions - protractor was new to me and seems interesting, and your links are very helpful Otis.

Pleased to see Engineer Redux has now been updated, hurray! There is also a new mod that a friend of mine has posted in Spaceport that installs Engineer into all stock pods, which might be of interest to you too.
