Gravity assist TUTORIAL in SFS - Spaceflight Simulator TUTORIAL

Today I'll teach you how to use planets or moons to accelerate or decelerate in SFS!

Best video I've seen on this topic, thank you. Now I finally understand how it works!

[@stefanoscintilla5225]

Amazing video! I've always wondered how to do gravity assists because I always just tried random things until I got the result I wanted. Also the orbit line count thing is very useful I didn't know about it!

[@rubolo1300]

Glad I could help!

[@realsuperjuice]

AMAZING! I haven't been playing sfs a lot because I lost all my progress

[@rubolo1300]

That's so sad 😢. Hopefully you can start again. I lost my world too some time ago but I quickly got everything back. You can do it too!

[@realsuperjuice]

@@rubolo1300 its kinda hard because i had loads of things on the moon. I just downloaded the bp of my car and black parts

[@rubolo1300]

Hopefully I'm going to add more stuff to my moon colony so you can rebuild more stuff ;)

I can't make an orbit on captured asteroid because he had a weak gravity.

[@alx_8563]

just use ion engine and thrust 0.9% - 0.1% configure trajectory whilst you're inside the sphere of influence slow down until the velocity is close to 0.1 m/s i think that'll do

[@Oreo-cg6od]

@@alx_8563 yep but you need to slow it first and. You can have 4% speed or 1% speed.

I challenge u to make a string that’s conected from earth to the moon. I hope you can do it

[@rubolo1300]

I can launch 88m of cable each launch, the Moon is 11200km from Earth so that would be around 127273 launches. Not really feasible. But also if you timewarp they lose collision so they'll just stop being attached to the planets.

Nice video bro

[@rubolo1300]

Thanks!

[@martinmartinez6821]

I have a question. Do you think you could make a video on how to get into mercury orbit for a satellite? If you can answer without the video that would be nice too. Thanks.

[@rubolo1300]

You mean getting in a mercury low orbit using gravity assists? But yes it's a great video idea so I'll see what I can do!

[@martinmartinez6821]

@@rubolo1300for some reason I thought I had to go into a Venus orbit before to make it work that’s why it wasn’t working🤣. I understand how to use gravity assist now. Especially from this vid. Thanks

[@rubolo1300]

No problem. I'll still try to do a video on Mercury because I don't explore it a lot and it's a cool planet!

[@rubolo1300]

I'll upload a video on this in just a few hours! (12-18). Hopefully you'll find it useful!

[@melodyfiras5]

Bro, i still understand how u use ur math speed boost thingy. Just dont use math bro. Keep simple

[@rubolo1300]

In fact I said that you don't need to understand how they work but it could help.

[@stefanoscintilla5225]

Math is the language of the universe. This isn't even complicated math, he literally just used one addition...

[@rubolo1300]

It's not a rigourous mathematical description tho. It gives an idea on why and how they work.

[@stefanoscintilla5225]

@@rubolo1300 Yep not rigourous at all 😅 but it is definitely a good estimate.
