I tried a Voyager-style mission to fly by the outer planets. Very happy that the orbital mechanics in the current build are pretty robust and the real world mission plan mostly worked.
I had to adjust the SolSytem.xml file to simulate the 1977 planetary arrangement. Did not use the porkchop plots, only maneuver nodes. The flight took way more delta-V than the actual Voyagers used, but they did have the entire JPL to plan the burns.

It appears that the game does not predict SOI entry/exit for maneuvers on a solar escape trajectory, so I had to eyeball the Uranus flyby. For the same reason I did not bother with the Neptune flyby anymore. Still had great fun, thanks to the devs for keeping the dream alive.
