This is a continuation of the Mars to Jupiter "Learn With Me" flight. In this video, I am picking back up at the save point where I'm just a few days away from Jupiter. I am trying to work out how to approach Jupiter so that I can use the atmosphere as a brake.

Other Add-on MFD's that I don't use often, but I like them for their specific purpose:

Note, the version of TransX that comes bundled with Orbiter 2010 has a known bug that causes it to draw the graphics improperly. You can read about the problem here:

To work around this bug, I am using TransX 3.13.1.2, which I downloaded from here:
