    Curious George
  1. I seem to have multiple problems with MechJeb or I'm doing something wrong. I get really weird planetary transfers (high delta-v, multiyear, or just misses). They almost never match up with the Kerbal Alarm Clock transfer windows or even when I just eyeball the phase angle. I thought it was just because I was doing really long burns so I used mainsails to lower my twr - same problem. I noticed when I do a course correction (say to 50km off the planet) I get a great looking trajectory but if I go to edit it with the node editor if I change it even .01, say retrograde, the trajectory jumps way off. Fine change it back -.01 and the trajectory is still way off. In fact it takes a big change in the node editor to get it even close to that 50km trajectory it showed at first. This seems buggy to me since it's giving two different values for the same trajectory. It also makes sense why I've been having really weird long distance transfers that require multiple corrections. Anyone else have this problem? I'm kind of new at this and may be making a simple mistake. Here's screenshots of the node editor (notice the 1st and 3rd pic have the exact same values but totally different trajectories). http://imgur.com/a/MtUyH#0
  2. Actually I have the same problem. Mechjeb/Kerbal alarm all give vastly different transfer windows. I know what the phase angels should be and I know mechjeb is wrong just by eyeballing it. Every time I use it I get huge delta v changes and transfers that take years. Gave up and using kerbal alarm manually now. I'll give protractor a shot.
