Here is the mod that brings back the mythic approach line that was in SFS prior to version 1.5.
Note: This mod still works as is, but is considered deprecated. If you like the closest approach line, I recommend using ANAIS instead: it fully includes this mod and offers some much more powerful content in addition
How to install it?
Please go to releases, and download the latest version of the ClosestApproachLine.dll file,
then copy it into Spaceflight Simulator Game/Mods. The mod will then be available ingame.
To easily access the Mods folder, launch the game, go into the mod loader menu and click "Open Mods folder".
What is that mod?
If you played SFS at the time of 1.35 or 1.4, you probably already know. When you select a target, this mod will display the closest approach line that shows the position on the orbit at which your ship will be the closest to the target. You can use this to modify your trajectory so that you get an encounter with the desired object:
The closest approach line is displayed in light blue to be easily distinguished from other informations. When the closest approach gets close to 0, the line gradually turns red to warn you about a collision risk:
How do I make my own mod from it?
The source code is available here. You are free to modify the mod as you wish, but if you redistribute it, please credit me for the part you borrowed.
