Description

To reproduce the problem:

  • Be playing a career game in which the Tracking Center is at the beginning level (no upgrades yet).
  • Be on a hyperbolic orbit patch.
  • Look at the map view.

Reliably, every time, in the above situation the map draws the Pe marker all wrong, off in space somewhere not even on the orbit line at all.

I will upload a screenshot below.

I could see maybe an argument that the player isn't supposed to see this information until the tracking center is upgraded, but that seems like an unlikely explanation for two reasons:

  1. It works fine on elliptical orbits. It's only wrong on hyperbolic ones.
  2. If that was the reason, then the Pe should be not shown at all, rather than being there but what's there is a lie.

Confirmed on OSX. PE marker is not placed correctly with Hyperbolic orbits, with basic level Tracking Station. Same results both on a departing trajectory and arriving trajectory.

The PE value was correct though.
