In this video, I'm trying to explain how you can adjust the Eject Orientation while heading to orbit. The benefit of doing this is that you can get to your parking orbit with a very low relative inclination.

Note: I first learned about this idea of adjusting the Eject Orientation on the fly from watching this video by flytandem:

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

AeroBrakeMFD: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2139
BaseSyncMFD: http://koti.mbnet.fi/jarmonik/Orbiter.html (scroll to the bottom of the page)
Burn Time Calculator: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=4530
Launch MFD: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2802
Glideslope MFD: http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=2763

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:
