The Maneuver Node Execution.

Phases

Here is graph of the different phases:

Settings

Each phase has it's own settings

• Show Node Infos : add a description of the next Node in the main UI
• Start Burn At : let you choose when to burn.
  • at T0 : at the exact time the node start (the défault and mainly the best option for hand created nods)
  • before : before some configurables seconds.
  • mid-duration : half of the duration of the burn phase. Can bo better for Lift-off circularize.

This option could be removed in future

• Max Angle : accepted angle difference before starting burn Phase
• Max Angular speed : accepted angular speed before starting burn Phase

Common settings also used in Landing Pilot

• Auto Warp : Warp can be skipped. the Burn phase start then with a wait for burn time phase, where manuam time warp is accepted
• Warp Speed : how speed depends on remaining time. The 2 value (default) is quite a good compromise to avoid missing the start
• Before : a small amount of second before the next phase. very usefull for time warp to come back to x1 and for attitude to point to the good direction. Add some seconds for heavy vessels to let it have the time to turn

The Burn phase burn until one second of burn left then it starts the Slow-Burn adjusting phase.

• Adjusting rate : is a ratio how to slow down throttle during this Slow-Burn phase
• Precision : is the accepted remaining dv threshold.
