How to calculate reentry to make spacecraft land on ocean few mile east from KSC

[Pawelk198604]

I have KSP since 2012, even if i not played for quite time i still love it  

But I always struggled to make the capsule  land where I want it :-(

 

 

Watch from 28 minutes, in this case, I at least get the surface sample from  mountains xD

If you arent averse to mods, I would recommend Trajectories. It predicts your path in the atmosphere and shows your landing spot. It takes into account both planet rotation and drag.

^that, but only for current stage. If you separate something, your new trajectory can be off by miles, and if the capsule is the only thing that is left, there is not much you can do.  What I do? I try to separate while I'm coasting sideways, as in, when I'm going east, as usual, I turn the rocket to the north and then separate.
