Bug #19572
Patched Conics no longer reflect actual destination.
0%
Description
As of 1.4.5, patched conics no longer accurately reflect the reality of where your ship will actually end up in the game. For example, while orbiting Kerbin you can place a maneuver node so that your peripasis in relation to the Mun is ~10,000m, but after auto-warping to the maneuver node you might suddenly be out by 100,000m, or possibly not even intercept the Mun at all. Happens very often, and did not happen at all in previous versions of KSP.
No RCS, no exiting the craft in EVA, nothing that could throw off the trajectory.
To reproduce, simply make a maneuver node, make a note of the periapsis, and then auto-warp and notice the difference.
Does not happen all the time, so will need to be repeated, but happens in about 1 in 3 attempts for me.
Does NOT appear occur if you manually warp to the node!

See the attached screenshots for before the warp, and the result after the warp.

Please disregard.
Appears to be caused by a mod, as I could not reproduce in a pure stock install.
EDIT: I was able to narrow down this problem to Kopernicus, and I have filed a bug report with that mod developer.
