[Resolved] [Help] MechJeb, What the heck are you doing?

[SpaceLaunchSystem]

MechJeb has been doing some weird stuff lately. The docking autopilot says "Moving forward to dock at 0.0ms" but the ship is moving AWAY from the target. The Smart A.S.S. Points to a random spot when I tell it to point retrograde.

hi a quicky fix that sometimes helps is to go into the mechjeb2/ plugindata folder and delete all the cfg files in there, this will force mechjeb to return to default settings on next game start,

I found that the docking AP benefits from periodic "off/on", esp when it's obviously headed in the wrong direction. Force Roll seems to throw it off too.

I'd either reinstall MJ, or check that you are controlling your ship from the appropriate docking port.

It's not a new bug, but I never was able to duplicate it and no one ever sent me a save where it happens.

It could be something else. If the ship's CoM is located under the targeted docking port's plane, MJ might freeze or move very slowly in a direction which will eventually bring the ship over the plane.

Not that the S-ASS will point toward your orbital (OBT) velocity vector. If you are on surface mode or in a situation where surface is more important, you might get confused.

Figuring out the surface S-ASS section (SURF) can be a bit tricky but it's worth it.

I have the same problem with latest Dev-build 341

but i can live with it, i just need the rendezvous AP and this works good for me:-)

Thank you all your advice. Especially Starman4308 for suggesting I reinstall the mod. That worked.
