Use like regular soap.
Directions on a bar of Dial bath bar

So, just use DGIV like a regular DeltaGlider :badsmile: Any DG tutorial will do. For example:

* Video Tutorial: Orbiter Launchpad, folder 'Tutorials', scenario 'Lunar transfer'
* Go Play In Space - Chapter 4 - Fly Me To The Moon

Of course, you can throw in DGIV's PRO903SPECnn (nn=90 for 'due East') for ascent to orbit and PRO200SPEC8 for soft landing.

There is a more realistic way for going to the Moon by going off-plane and setting up a free return trajectory with IMFD but if this is your first trip it's better to keep it simple.

IMFD (Interplanetary MFD) can do that too for many other planets.
There are 3 tough parts
1.To understand what is the logic of a planet transfer
2.To get familiar with the user interface
3.How not to crash during ejection
