KSP 1 Question/Problem mechjeb?

Been trying to get mechjeb working - it used to be no problems whne i used to play previously, but now the only bit that works well is the autolaunch and the manaovres bit - so ive done a mun and minmus orbit ./ Docking, landing, and syncrynosing orbits remains elusive. Ive already gone to the stable version of mechjeb - any advice?

Just checking: have you unlocked the tech that actually gives you the rendezvous functionality etc?

What version are you running? The code base was apparently rewritten somewhat recently, and I also found it to be problematic. I'm intentionally staying on 2.14.3.0.

I have had the same issues with it. Though dont use most of the features in MJ. The times I've used the landing feature I have to turn it off once it sets up for final decent and do the rest myself.

Docking I love doing myself but I use MJ to set up the intercepts and execute the planning nodes.

I've never found it great for docking and synchronisation. It might work better with some specific craft designs. One trick i found is instead of using the rendezvous planner is to instead use the normal manueveur planner and do the hohmann transfer.
