The RATE mode achieves the practical value of a target offset for most cases, I think. Not saying a custom target wouldn't be useful, but I don't think the current tools should hold you back much.

In this case, I believe that your engine is not activated. If you activate the stage, does Delta-V calculate for you?

Just wanted to note that Pan is in the rings of Saturn currently!

The main engine on the default test craft currently starts disabled - right click the engine to activate.

Thank you for your report! Are you running a configuration with just the Earth or Earth/Moon? If so, I believe the error was fixed in revision 3406, which should be available in the next public build. Please let us know if it's still a problem after that!

Several of these are already in the game if you know where to look in the files!

The date for the major planet ephemerides is commented in the XML. The rest of the bodies had orbit data pulled somewhat arbitrarily. The MeanAnomalyAtEpoch parameter is deprecated and won't be used again.

Thanks for the report! This should be fixed in the next public build.

This is known - the buoyancy simulation is not stable for dense atmospheres at the moment. Will be fixed eventually.

That doesn't really make sense - orbits themselves aren't ascending or descending, they are just inclined (or not). You can be on the ascending or descending _leg_ of an orbit, but that doesn't mean your inclination is changing. The normal definition of a negative inclination is a retrograde...

You are still in an ascending orbit in this screenshot, look at the orientation of South America. Remember the Earth has axial tilt!

The sliding is a side effect of the spamming exceptions, which should no longer happen.

This post was linked from another recent thread - just dropping in to say this should have been fixed a while ago.

This has been fixed internally and the fix will be in the next public build.

As mentioned above, I will do a vehicle coordinate frame post separately as there's a lot to cover. But to answer this specific question, the vehicle frame follows the normal aircraft convention, so: X: Forward (roll) Y: Right (pitch) Z: Down (yaw) This means right roll is positive, pitch up...
