⟨Infernal⟩ is there some trick to getting to venus with principia? I managed to get encounters with other planets relatively easily, but for venus it takes me like an hour most of the time
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ an hour is exaggerated but 30 mins hits the mark pretty well
<UmbralRaptor>
Randomly guessing: tranfer windows being surprisingly rare (if not as bad as Mars)? Smaller SOI than you'd expect for something almost as massive as Earth?
<UmbralRaptor>
(Yes, I know SOIs are an approximation that Principia ignores)
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ the thing is I dont even get close
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ like 1.5Gm is how close I can get
<UmbralRaptor>
!
<queqiao->
⟨Stonesmile⟩ LAN is a lot more important than inclination
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ I launch into the correct lan according to TWP and mechjeb
<queqiao->
⟨Infernal⟩ ok so TWP tells me to have an ejection angle of 0 degrees to prograde. Does that mean, that with principia, I place the start of the burn at that ejection angle?
