07:20 <queqiao-_> ⟨p​Edro⟩ Is it normal that i cant use mechjeb PVG to get me into the plane of my target ?

07:21 <queqiao-_> ⟨p​Edro⟩ First time using principia:

07:24 <queqiao-_> ⟨l​eudaimon⟩ I haven't been playing since a lot of the updates, but I had the issue that it would never launch into plane of target, got stuch in pre-flight. What I would do was to click launch into plane of target, and a few seconds before launch I would cancel and launch into target LAN. Still, as my launch site was nearly equatorial (and in the southern hemisphere), it would work only when the launch wa

07:41 <queqiao-_> ⟨M​arsh⟩ Well the first thing to ask is, are you at the cape, and are you trying to go to the moon? 😂

07:44 <queqiao-_> ⟨D​amien⟩ Your problem isn't a principia one, but more that principia exposes an issue with RSS. RSS doesn't accurately model the moon's changing inclination. In principia it does.

07:44 <queqiao-_> ⟨D​amien⟩ You can't launch directly to an inclination lower than your launch site's latitude and for nearly all of the moon's precession cycle that inclination is less than that of the Cape

07:46 <queqiao-_> ⟨D​amien⟩ It's the same problem as trying to launch to a geostationary orbit from a non-equatorial launch site.

07:57 <queqiao-_> ⟨p​Edro⟩ Im not trying to go to the moon, im shooting for venus

07:59 <queqiao-_> ⟨p​Edro⟩ And pvg is in a constant state of "Finished" or "Initialidins"

07:59 <queqiao-_> ⟨e​gg⟩ from where?

08:00 <queqiao-_> ⟨l​eudaimon⟩ well, you don't launch into plane of target for interplanetary transfers

08:01 <queqiao-_> ⟨p​Edro⟩ Should i launch into the ecliptic instead ?

08:06 <queqiao-_> ⟨D​amien⟩ @pEdro your inclination around earth matters little for interplanetary transfers. From Venus' point of view you're in an orbit basically identical to Earth's no matter what your inclination is. The ecliptic is generally the best option though.

13:44 <queqiao-_> ⟨r​sparkyc⟩ @pEdro I actually talk a little bit about this here: https://github.com/mockingbirdnest/Principia/wiki/A-guide-to-performing-an-interplanetary-flyby-and-return-with-Principia

13:44 <queqiao-_> ⟨r​sparkyc⟩ it's based around the Kerbal system, but the same principles apply for RSS

20:29 <queqiao-_> ⟨r​sparkyc⟩ I've actually just finished the above link, would love any feedback people have. I ended up making more animated gifs for this than I've ever made in my life.

21:54 <queqiao-_> ⟨b​ongotastic (he/him)⟩ Wow, this is pretty solid. Someone trying it along would be a better reviewer, though. When I get a RP1 career far enough for this, this will be my go-to.
