go up at less than full throttle if possible
wait until you’re a few kilometers up
tilt to 75 degrees towards where the sun rises (typically east)
wait until you can see black when you look up
tilt 45 degrees towards the rising sun
go into map view and make sure your apoapsis is maybe 0.3 droo radii away from the ground
point to the east, or west, depending on which way the play spins
wait until you’re at the apoapsis
full throttle until you have a circular orbit

i only noticed because i looked at this post twice
since it's a plane, it will steer like a plane
you can make it steer like a rocket by going into the primary command part and change the configuration setting to “Rocket”
i think i found a way to fix it…
since the v=sqrt(GM/r) equation is just finding the square root of the gravity acceleration (GM/r), then i could use earth’s gravity (in game, it’s 1,000…unit is unkown) and then divide that by an unknown number (closest i got was 102) to get 9.8, that way, since i know it works for earth, it must work for any celestial object
and, i assume you know how it falls together
i assume so
create a vizzy program that broadcasts messages to a receiver (the RC craft)
when the RC craft receives a message that tells it to, say, throttle up, it will do so
same for all other controls of the RC craft
also, the camera won't focus on the RC craft, and i don't think putting cameras on the RC craft will work either
imagine a horizontal ellipse, with a star to one of the ellipse's foci
place a vertical line on the star
the points where the line intersects the ellipse is where the right ascension should be
if the planet is orbiting clockwise (relative to the star's north pole), the right ascension will be on the upper point of the line, and vice versa for counterclockwise
the ion engine must be very powerful, roughly enough to travel across the entire system in a short amount of time at full throttle
the spinning can be reduced to a tolerable amount by, for the lack of a better word, flicking the throttle bar to 5% and back down to 0%
find a way to convert the circumference into a 3D vector (like your craft’s velocity)
then find a way to use that vector to convert it into pitch/yaw/roll
these are just suggestions because frankly i have no idea

perhaps you are doing the orbiting procedure incorrectly
2.2 years agoyou could also try building the titan-centaur that carried the voyager probes to infinity
some functional parts (MFDs and command modules) have a setting that lets you access its vizzy instructions, near the top of the properties list

2.2 years agoi pinned it so i could read it later
if not then it’s probably impossible 🤷
2.2 years agoyou’ll probably come up with something on your own before the deadline
2.2 years agoi assume so

try putting an extremely powerful gyroscope or many RCS thrusters
