Orbiter 2010 - [Part 1] Orbiter Challenge #2
4This video was recorded Sunday, November 3, 2013
This challenge comes with Orbiter 2010. It's located in your Scenarios under 2010 Edition\Challenges.
A note about TransX's inaccuracy: When going from the earth to the moon, you can figure that TransX is going to be off by about 375km. (Note, that's a very rough estimate.) But if you have View Encounter showing that you are going to arrive at the moon with a minimum altitude of 20km, your actual altitude at the moon will be 20km - 375km ... or 20km + 375km, depending if your arrival is prograde or retrograde.
If your Inclination is prograde, you will lose about 375km. If it's retrograde, you will gain about 375km.
This is not a tutorial. This is just me working with Orbiter and thinking out loud while doing it. If you're watching with the intent of learning something, then hopefully you can pick up some tips by watching me.

Common questions I get: What screen recording software do you use? What joystick do you use? What add-ons do you use? Where can I find the XR2 Ravenstar? Where do I download Orbiter? And much, much more. It's all answered in the FAQ I set up at this link (the link is a google document):
