Hi!
I'm flying DG Mk4, btw I like yours too, Dan, but is too complex
and I'm trying to get to
the Moon. I'm now some 45,000 km from its surface and now and then I do correction burns
(hopefully the right way) and therefore I need also prograde and retrograde commands.
The question is to which orbit/planet do these commands refer while they're making attitude
changes of the spacecraft. I have a reason to believe that they refer to the Sun, I just want to
double check with you guys and girl
. I'm almost sure about that because when I change HUD
orbit reference from Earth to Moon and Sun, Sun's appears to be the straight one - vertically
across screen.
Is there any way to change that reference, because after all I'm travelling to the Moon and not
towards the Sun. And also when I look at it from the outside the first impression I get DG might be
a little under the Moon but exactly leveled with the Sun. So you see, I'm assuming that due to
commands refering to the Sun's orbit my Moon's orbit insertion might fall distorted.
According to the Moon's surface my longitude is decreasing and latitude is increasing. Is this
normal?
