jumping prediction nodes

[tichy]

Hi,

I am running KSP 0.25 64bit on Linux. MechJeb is installed.

I sometimes get this behaviour:

As you can see, predictions jump around a lot. This makes gameplay a bit hard, at times. How can I avoid this?

I think that's normal behavior caused by floating point errors, I believe. In my experience, it to occur a lot with orbits that have been plotted by MechJeb because MechJeb uses a more accurate plotting system than the orbit predictor, which often fails to properly detect intercepts at interplanetary distances. It looks, to me, like your orbit just barely intercepts Duna in the first place, so that's prime conditions for behavior this to occur.
