Question Can't get to mars with new IMFD

[Fabri91]

Eh wha? I didn't follow what you meant there...

I just tried to say that by setting an ID you specify the MFD to which the information is being sent. :yes:

I've discovered something new. Aftr TMI, when I'm outside the SOI of earth, I open the map and set the reference planet to Mars and Cnt to mars. I notice that the green line (what is me right?) is far outside of mars... it's also very far outside the SOI of mars.... my question: if I do some corrections manually so that the green line is at least in the SOI of mars, would that help to get closer to mars?

I don't have the time at the moment to try it my self, so an somebody plesae tell me if my thoughts are right? Thanks! :tiphat:

I did it once again! I've landed on mars! I did some manual corrections and it worked. I landed with the MER Spirit. I didn't land on the actuall landing site, since I just know the program, and I don't want to say I can fly to mars neither. I will do one more flight, and if I land on mars, I think I'm be able to fly to mars...

I did it again after several tries. I Think I know what I was doing wrong. I was using the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3216"]MER-2003 add-on [/ame]and after the separation of the final Delta II stage, the IMFD's were reseted. After that, I just targeted mars again in the course program, but what I also had to do was copy MJD data from the Delta II stage to the cruise stage.... Do you still follow me?

Thanks everyone! :thumbup::tiphat:

Seems to work just fine my way too

I might be wrong though...right now I'm off from orbiter since I'm in the midst of final highschool exams

@IronRain: good to hear!
