Hello. I have two questions I would appreciate some advice with. I'm using Orbiter 2016 with TransX 2018.05.06 MMExt2. First, with TransX: I have been from Earth to Mars several times using TransX, but I don't seem to understand the setup for the initial trans-Mars injection burn. I've watched numerous tutorials, and copied step for step the procedures, but for some reason my initial injection burn is very inaccurate. By the time I get to my midcourse correction, I almost always require a Delta V burn in the order of 2k. I think the main issue is that I'm not properly aligned with Mars prior to the burn. Any tips? Also, if I use the AutoCenter feature, I seem to get a stuck RCS thruster, and also cannot engage any autopilot mode (prograde, retrograde, orbit +/-). I've turned AutoCenter off and maneuver off, but the stuck thruster won't go away. If I use rotation RCS to change the orientation, the ship will return to the original orientation (If I don't engage AutoCenter, I do not have the stuck thruster issue).Again, both maneuver and AutoCenter are off. Any suggestions? Thank you.
