Kerbal Engineer Longitude

[smunisto]

This came up when I was trying to put a constellation of satellites on geostationary orbit around Kerbin.

So the problem is - I use Kerbal Engineer (with the latest of Padishar's versions) and I can't seem to understand what is wrong with its longitude indicator.

Instead of getting a normal 0-360 degrees or 0-180- -179-0 indications, it gets strange indications which seem to be dependent on something entirely different.

I observed the longitude shown by KER for a few orbits - it seems to reset at random numbers, and then starts always from a larger degree than the last orbit.

First time it reset at -468 degrees, and went to -7. Next orbit it reset at -150 and started again from -501 degrees.

Something is wrong with it and I can't figure out why or how to use it(if it just requires some math and is not broken by default).

I know MJ works perfectly, but I don't really want MJ. I was also wondering about the VOID mod, but it seems to be awfully unpopular and I don't even know if it provides VAB information like KER or MJ.

Any assistance on the matter would be appreciated.

Your best bet would be to ask in the KER thread. Or just get MJ you aren't forced to use the autopilot features.

I did ask in the KER thread, but as far as this goes - it will take a while to get a response.

I posted a new thread, because some person in a completely different thread that KER works with some formula when showing the Longitude and Latitude degrees.

However I could not find the thread and wanted to know if any other math savvy player has figured it out.

And yes - MJ bothers me, because if I install it I will get the urge to use the guidance systems. Besides, last time I installed it (now, don't laugh) - around 0.18, it included a bonus feature of completely usurping the main thread of the CPU, thus causing ridiculous micro-stutter in the game.

I did install it now though and I will give it a try.

You can disable various mechjeb modules that you don't want I don't know the exact syntax but I believe it's Blacklist = (module names go here) but I could be wrong.
