When you target a body there should be a way to find the correct transfter window. Maybe on the map screen a strip of your orbit turns yellow or doted lines from the target - to the sun - then to where your current body should be. Like most of my stuff I am just throwing it out there but it would be a really nice quality of life improvement like the orbit skip button I have brought up before. If I need a tool to help me do something better it should be in the game.

There was a KSP competition recently, and Transfer Window Planner was one of very few mods used. I think a stock tool would be very handy, especially without mission planners or even competent manoeuvre planners.

I think just a time warp to transfer button when you set something as target would be good enough

That would be a good balance between the game helping and you still having to do maneuver nodes on your own.

https://ksp.olex.biz/ is a good website to calculate this, and its pretty useful as it has in-between moon travel, such as mun to minmus or joolian moon transfer windows.
it also has ejection angle and delta v necessary, and overall is pretty useful

Thank you for the link. My problem is eyeballing the angle in game. I used to hold a protractor up to my screen.

I guess that’s good if you aren’t worried about the time that adds to your mission.
