Navbal bug for the maneuver node? Or is it just my pc

[fastbikkel]

Dear readers,

 

I keep on getting issues with maneuver nodes.

I have made a little movie, check if you like.

The blue indicator on the navball is drifting heavily and this happens quite a lot.

The only thing that seems to help is to just wait till it stops. Quitting the game also does not always help.

I am not sure this is a kerbal bug or my pc just acting up.

That happens to me too. So long I don't even think of it as a bug anymore, just this thing that happens.

Try quicksaving and then quickloading. That helps sometimes...

A Hyperedit orbit change seems to cause maneuver node wobbliness for me. A scene change seems to help.

It is a bug IIRC. There's some sort of frame of reference shenanigans that happens below 100km altitude where the revolution of the planet around the sun affects node orientation but not ship orientation. My memory is hazy on this, I think it uses the rotational frame of reference below 100km and the celestial frame above that. @Claw explained this effect to me some months back, perhaps now that I pinged him he could share his wisdom here?

Thanks for the replies!

At least i am not the only one.

It can be really annoying for sure. After all this time, i am finally able to dock without any issues, it became routine. But then i found this bug lol.
