Is there a PDF version of the updated OP map?

Thank you so much for maintaining these!

Thanks, but I think that one is out of date. It doesn't have Nissie and Thatmo on it. Also the Eve DV is different. Not sure what else has changed.

Good observation. In that case, the OPM map needs a review and update;not only a PDF version.

[RocketBlam]

This is not accurate. 

I just took off from Moho with about 900 d/v, and it couldn't make orbit. Not even close. It's supposed to get to a 50k orbit with 870 d/v.

@RocketBlam Thanks for the heads up. The number is indeed outdated, but the difference isn't too large. 940m/s are enough to take off from ground level (3600m) and reach a 50km x 50km orbit, assuming you have a comfortable TWR (I used a TWR of 10 in my successful tests. Trying to fly with 4 TWR seems to be very ineffective ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ).

I'll review the other non-atmospheric bodies and push an update.

---

Edit 1: In the other hand, 50x50 km is a way too high orbit for Moho. I'll maintain the pattern and set the orbit altitude for 10km over the highest peak.

Edit 2:Turns out the dV needed for a 20km x 20km orbit is exactly 870m/s.

Updated to version 2.4
- Added @AlexSheFF's KSPedia versions to the OP (v2.3.1). Here's the new image for a possible .ksp file update.
- Decreased Moho low orbit altitude to 20km
- Increased Bop low orbit altitude to 30km

I've updated KSPedia versions of DeltaV maps, links are the same.

[Kowgan]

Thank you so much for your time, @AlexSheFF.

[iDInkeD06]

Seems like Pingur.net is out of order, can you share others pdf links ?

[Kowgan]

@iDInkeD06 Thank you for the heads up. I've moved all the PDF versions to a Git release.

[Captain Planet]

Apologies if this has already been brought up, I ran a search but couldn't find anything. The OPM map is missing information for Karen, the moon of Plock.

[Kowgan]

@Captain Planet Yeah, the OPM map is outdated. Unfortunately, I can't keep up with that mod, nor maintain the map to its latest version right now.
I'll plan and reserve some time to install it and see if I can update the map. Thank you for the heads up.

[Andem]

Quick question: Where's Karen?

--EDIT--

Sorry, in a rush, didn't read thread

I looked some pages back, surely I have missed it...but what means the numbers and years under planets name?

EDIT: ok the numbers is the total deltaV from kerbin ground to planet ground without the change plane, the years is how long does it take to come back waiting for the right phase angle?

Edited August 3, 2016 by brusura

[Kowgan]

@brusura It's okay, that info is somewhat obscurely hidden in this thread.

These years under the total dV number are, averagely, how much time passes between two windows to return home. Or how long is that cycle.
E.G.: If you're using any life support mod and intend to return home from, say, Duna, if you want to be safe, you'll bring a minimum amount of supplies to last for 300 days + 2y54d + 300 days. Makes sense?

Thanks, perfectly clear now

This reference is so great. It makes it so much easier to visualize travel in the game. Thanks!

@brusura @tjt Glad to be helpful.

and the other for RSS:

Save your eyes your Ec/s of your screen and the trees!

Thank's to s13g3.

Thanks again, @Skalou. Updated the OP.

Thanks for the mentions/links on the official thread here! I can't reiterate enough my thanks to - and appreciation for - u/Kowgan, WAC, u/Swashlebucky, u/CuriousMetaphor, u/Jellycubes, and any/everyone else involved in making these excessively useful and well-designed charts in the first place, which is definitely significantly more work than my little effort here to just modify them a bit.

None-the-less, I'm happy to do it, and will do what I can to keep them updated as best as possible with the current versions - it's not a massive effort like the originals to undertake, but it does require some time, so there may still be delays in updates and I can't make any promises to be super-timely, as I've got a full-time job and a 3 year-old occupying a lot of my time - I am, however, subscribed to this thread now, so I should at least be semi-aware of when updates release.

Outer Planets updated to v.1.8.1!
