What i make wrong transferring to Planet Eve

[Pawelk198604]

I want transfer my spacecraft to planet EVE, i tried to use MechJeb but it show my that i must wait 120 days with is ridiculous because Eve planet phase was almost 54.14.

How edit save file to speed up time.

I tried to use NavNodes to make transfer but i just can't do this.

How about you fly it manually by playing the game instead of watching a calculator do it for you?

MechJeb hater aside... It is trying to calculate the most fuel efficient route for you. This requires waiting for Eve to be in the right orbital path when you leave.

And no need to edit anything to speed up time. Move to a higher orbit and it will let you time warp fast enough that those 160ish days will go bye in about 2 mins.

Even better leave the Kerbin system and get in orbit around the sun then adjust your orbit to intercept Eve.

Sadly I can't see anything on the 240p video. And sadly I don't understand the question.

If it's about the time acceleration, another way is to put something on the launch pad or runway and then time-warp. On ground while not moving even 100'000x is possible (photo-sensitive people should use the map view in this case).

Inter-planetary trips are quite hard. Maybe try quicksave when you are close to the right angle, then try setting up the node and fumble around with it. If you don't get an encounter warp a little bit and try again until you are getting closer. If you missed is completely load the quicksave.

Repeat until success.

I've flew to Eve today (using it's gravity assist to get to Moho's orbit) simply by using this for planning: http://ksp.olex.biz/ Just wait for proper planetary alligment shown by calculator and plan your maneuver.
