This is a bonus video for my Mars to Saturn (Titan) series. In this video, I am going back out to the point where I'm a few thousand seconds from Titan's periapsis so I can set up an approach that will allow me to use the atmosphere of Titan as a brake.

Add-on MFD's that I tend to use the most:

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

Attitude MFD: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3165
Interplanetary MFD 5.5: http://koti.mbnet.fi/jarmonik/Orbiter.html
Rendezvous MFD: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=1199

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:
