What up DocHoliday ?
-1st of all on your "Map MFD" watch the distance as it goes all the way to
"19.15" and then wait 'til it lowers down to "18.15-18.00" you should have just passed the
west coast of Australia.

-Sorry I can't remember for now where I got it but If I find it, I'll let you know.

Peace, Chris "Frenchie"

Thx, reading some other threads on reentry I actually got it now. I tried yesterday and performed a perfect landing at
Habana with almost no need for extra thrust. Hehe, but keyboard has its limitations when it comes to atmospheric
flight :)

Don't worry about it, Krytom already supplied me with the link. Not to insult the author of Reentry MFD, but the only
thing I find useful is the targeting display at the bottom, because no other MFD will let you align orbital plane with a
ground base, or am I wrong? Okay, the MapMFD helps, but it's not accurate.
