Recommended Posts

Ok, i have played for a while, and for some reason I cant ever seem to get a stable 100km by 100km orbit.

this is what i do...

1. launch

2.10km do slight gravity turn

3. wait for AP to reach 100km, then cut engines

4.at Ap full power while being parrell to the ground

TROUBLE

======

my Pe rises extremley slowly, while my Ap gets an exponentional growth...

what ever i do i cant seem to get them to be at least within 1Km of each other...

Any help to this would be great!!

Begin the last burn some time before you reach your Ap.

When you reach the Ap whilst burning point your vessel a little bit up. Your Ap should stay at the same point now. If not, point more up. And so on. Well, and when you reach the Ap you should start your burn earlier the next time.

You should be finished with your burn when reaching the Ap...
