Description

Go to tracking station and select AutonoRover Subaru, which is orbiting Mun at 45k AP and 43K PE.

When looking at the PE numbers, it wobbles a LOT back and forth and consistently declines. I was planning a maneuver and in the matter of seconds it the PE went from 45k to 43k... I know in 1.1.2 there was an orbital decline issue but it was fixed...

To my knowledge this doesn't happen on any other craft I have in stable orbit anywhere.

History

#1 Updated by krimsalt about 8 years ago

edit: actually it does seem to happen only to the other Mun satellite in polar orbit.. all other orbits around Duna/Kerbin appear stable and vary by 1-2m every few seconds. It's the orbits around Mun are acting wonky... I've never noticed this before

#2 Updated by krimsalt about 8 years ago

A second edit: there seems to be some phantom force on it, as after timewarp the probes will slowly start to rotate very slowly. Also if you place a maneuver node, the maneuver vector hops and wobbles too..

Also, this slightly does appear to happen to the Minmum probe

Again, only mods are KJR and KER, SAS and RCS is off, and I've never noticed this before
