ItsB0DE Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 So I FINALLY, after loads of backbreaking work get into the Mun grasp, so I think once I get to the periapsis Ill fix my orbit, but then suddenly the orbits started flashing between the sun and back to the Mun orbits. I thought if I fast forward the game would decide I want to get stuck in the moon orbit but suddenly after doing that, I get pulled away into the suns orbit drifting away from my target! ... ?_? I have no idea what went wrong, but I would really want to know for I can take that precaution next time. I haven't played KSC since then >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 The game is still in an unfinished state, and speed and trajectory can flutter a little even when there are no forces acting on the ship. If it happens that you are right on the margin for an orbital capture to begin with, that flutter can cause it to miss entirely. A little engine burn in the right direction should be enough to over-power the fuzziness in the simulation, but the "right" direction kind of depends on the exact circumstances. If you're not sure, hit F5 to quicksave and burn in what you think is the right direction. If that doesn't fix it, F9 to load the quicksave and burn in another direction.

ItsB0DE Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 Thanks a lot! I'll try better next time, I just knew that it had to do with the game more then my actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
