Add tenths of second for maneuver timer


Recommended Posts

It is increase the usability of manevour planner and its sufficiency. It is so uncomfortable to navigate by full seconds if your manevour is short or needs much accuracy. For example for 5s manevour mistake of 0.5s can be critical if you make intercepring someone, or for exapmle intercepting Minmus from LKO can be frustrating because of 0.5s mistake in 1m manevour make significant dV difference for high-elleptical orbit. I believe that after passing mark 10 seconds before starting or ending manevour tenths of second must be added to have more control over engine turning on/off

Why not use RCS to make small changes to the trajectory after finishing the burn?

I don't want to waste RCS on 50m/s dv change for heavy stage. You can correct orbit by RCS, but it is not what about I speak, because I doubt of using it for big corrections on Duna/Jool transfer vehicle. And I believe nobody has RCS on each craft. Also tenths of second were in original game for short manevours and in advanced orbit parameters, like period

you could also just dial down your engine power even more in the parts manager

Problem is that long time manevour is less effective than short manevour, and it is wrong to sacrifice efficient to theoreticaly increas e accuracy

there are lots of numbers in the game which i wish had more decimal places. 

I totally agree with you. For example the altimeter after you reach a high of 100 km. There is place for more digits, just show them.
