TransX Tutorial - Voyager 2 Setup

Flytandem's TransX video tutorial for Orbiter Space Flight Simulator. Uploaded with permission.

You are sitting on Earth on the date that the historic Voyager 2 mission launched. TransX is used to set up the eject variable to arrive at Jupiter and the subsequent slings to Saturn Uranus and Neptune are then set up. In order to simplify the setup, the historic encounter dates at the planets are NOT followed.

Very well made tutorial with good explanation. I see you didn't even mess with ejection date. I assume it's set to "this moment right now".

Will you be following up with the execution of this plan? Setting the plan up is one thing... executing it is another.

@IRisingFuryI maybe once I get good enough at it myself, haha. flytandem did execute some others like the earth to mars tutorial. Granted the sling plans are a bit different to execute, but once you understand what to look for then its not all that different and its quite fun! :-)

very detailed tutorial on how to get to the outer planets, sonice i havnt used TransX (i usually use the IMFD, but for some reason it doesnt work well with the gas giants, you have to take off at the right time in order to get there otherwise the sun drags you back into the inner solar system). just one question. what voyager addon are you using, since there a re lots but i dont know which one is theproper one and which is best?
