This Vizzy Program Calculates the length of time you must wait on the Launchpad to be "in plane" with an inclined orbit of a targeted craft or moon. This allows you to launch into orbit without needing an expensive plane change manuever later on.
To use: Select a target in orbit around your current planet. This can be a craft or a moon.
Then Press AG1 to start the Countdown.
Lastly, you can freely max Time Warp, the program will automatically disengage time warp when the countdown expires.
The program will silently modify the targeted orbital inclination if your launch latitude is greater than that inclination.
If you do not understand why. Think about this.. How would you launch into a 0 inclination orbit from a higher latitude than the equator? Your starting position is already out of plane and will never be in plane. Therefore, there is no valid launch window.

@Raymondhrdina You have to select a target in orbit of your current planet. Cylero is orbiting the sun, not your current planet

@LunaMelodies Its a game bug that I heard of. when you use vec() function in FUNK to create a vector, it causes an exception in IOS. This craft uses that function.

No worries, loving your other creations if that helps lol, just tag me again when new launch window fix is up and I’ll be right there :) @GoldenShadowGS

@LunaMelodies I was afraid of that. I know of a bug that breaks this on IOS. funk vectors again. We're waiting on a patch.

So it automatically activated no matter what I do when first launching, then causes the text prompt “invalid target” because of the auto activate, it then no longer works after getting target and pressing AG1 which I did manually link because it doesn’t work without that either@GoldenShadowGS

Hey so I followed instructions exactly but it’s not working is there something I’m missing?
-
@GoldenShadowGS Oh I figured it might have something to do with that. Well considering it works in 1.0.4 and that mobile is updating soon, take my preemptive upvote.

@IMULAerospaceIndustries I talked to a Pedro, This craft is made for Version 1.0.4. Mobile is in 0.9.926
Thats why its not working for you. Not until Mobile is updated. -
@GoldenShadowGS The log doesn’t tell me, it just says there is one; yes; iOS.

@IMULAerospaceIndustries What is the error? Are you on the latest version of the game? what platform are you on?
-
@GoldenShadowGS When I look at the log of the command chip it says there’s an error, I’ve tried it in downloaded systems and the stock one, can’t tell where it’s going wrong because I don’t use Vizzy…

@IMULAerospaceIndustries Do you have a way to show me what you did so I can figure out whats going wrong for you? Like uploading a video to youtube?
-
@GoldenShadowGS I tried that too and it still just sits there

I just wanted to say thank you for your Docking Assistant UI Vizzy Program, I have it Loaded on all my Builds! For me at least, it made Docking a Favourite thing, instead of a Dreaded thing, and actually changed the game for me. After I found your program, my passion to Design things that Dock went crazy, as you can see from my Page. Thanks Again!

@IMULAerospaceIndustries You are meant to press AG1 to activate it. Not just selecting a target
-
@GoldenShadowGS Nothing at all. It says “Press AG1 to calculate next launch window” and when I target a moon, nothing at all happens.

@IMULAerospaceIndustries It does nothing at all? or Says Invalid target?
-
AG1 isn’t on the craft by default, and when I add batteries and something wired to AG1 it still does nothing. Does it have something to do with me playing in RSS?
This is AWESOME! Thank you!
