⟨powderedwriter⟩ Dumb question, I am extremely new to principia. Normally I would use mech jeb to setup my orbit around earth and then make a node and burn to the moon, after I have installed principia when I use mech jeb to make a orbit around earth I burn south and use a lot more DV than I used to

⟨powderedwriter⟩ +so am I doing something wrong or is this just something I need to get used to?

⟨nazfib⟩ > I burn south and use a lot more DV than I used toLaunching into the plane of the Moon is not an option from KSC; it is at a much lower inclination (in fact, it varies between roughly 18 and 28 degrees over an 18-year cycle). If you want to go to the Moon, use Lunar Transfer Planner to plan an off-plane transfer.
