Weird looking maneuver node..? (Pic inside)

[Sokar408]

As you can see, the moon of Minmus, appear oddly in the void. Has anyone had this happen or know how to fix it?

What exactly do you mean with in the void? It seems rather normal to me

Do you mean the straight line? That's how your ship will move inside Minmusses SOI, relative to Kerbin. It will be a hyperbole relative to Minmus itself

[Nemecle]

Yes nothing unusual I guess : the game is predicting the position of Minmus when you will be there, but it might do it relative to your ship or to the planet : Minmus is a small body, it's hard to get a big encounter as you did, it make the game kind of lost.

Try to warp until you enter Minmus SOI, and see if there is actually something wrong

Yeah, quite odd.. Then again I've seen arguably weirder orbital predictions in map mode

I found something better

The original picture looks like it might be "Mode 4", which I don't think anyone understands.

[Nemecle]

did you changed the PATCHING_CONICS_DRAW_MODE ?

[RW-1]

It would appear so, but ...

I recently got the hang of when getting the intercept to then switch focus to the planet in question, then adjusting from there as well to fine tune my periapsis distance.

did you changed the PATCHING_CONICS_DRAW_MODE ?

I don't think so, what is that?

[Sirrobert]

I don't think so, what is that?

Well, in that case you didn't

There are a few ways the game can draw predicted orbits.

This post will explain the difference between each: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/threads/11322-Different-Conic-drawing-modes

You can currently only change it in the config files themselves. Open it in notepad

I don't think so, what is that?

*PATCHED_CONIC_DRAW_MODE

So you didn't't

You can change the way KSP manage the trajectories' displaying : check "Draw Mode" here : http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Map_view

I don't think it will change your "problem", but it's still interesting

EDIT : Sirrobert was faster...

I think KSP Forgot how to space.

I had done exactly this.. only I didn't know it. I clicked it by mistake in PrecisionNodes

[kurja]

Am I looking at it wrong or did most (?) posters miss that Minmus is not on it's orbit at the encounter? I'm pretty sure any conics mode is not supposed to do that.
