I recently got IMFD 5.1g and have encountered a problem with the autoburn feature. Here's what happens...
- Set up course change (orbit eject, mid-course, plane change, orbit insert, etc.) as before.
- Go to the BV page of the Course program
- Select Autoburn
- Ship orients in what I assume is the correct direction then fires main engines. So far, so good.
- When burn time gets down to about 0.4 seconds or so, main engines stop, and the ship goes back into attitude correction, which is usually considerably off what it was burning on. Main engines fire for a split second, then more major attitude changes, etc. This process may continue through 4 or 5 iterations, with the burn time never reaching zero. I usually stop the autoburn program after the main burn is done.
- No matter whether I stop the autoburn or let it continue as long as it wants to, I never end up in the right place. For instance, when going from Europa to Callisto, I usually end up missing Callisto by about 1 radius of that moon. With prior versions of IMFD, I always hit the target dead on.
