if the orbit is a perfect circule it will bug out and change the AP/PE randomly as computers can't recognize the accuracy required to otherwise state which is actually higher

#

IE if your AP is at 80,000.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 KM and your PE is 80,000 KM the game will think both your PE and AP are 80,000 KM

#

it then cant figure out which is higher (because they are equal according to the computer) which causes the orbit to "change"

#

well wait

#

I looked closer, thats not whats happening

#

yeah it's just a KSP bug being KSP. id restart the game

#

Apoastro sounds so much cooler than apoapsis

I wish I had a solution. if you have mods now is the time to start uninstalling them

#

sometimes someone whos had the issue will chime in and let you know whats causing it but its been a bit so I wouldnt hold my breath

chrome dock
#

yeah

#

it happened one time with me before

#

and somehow it resolved

#

but now it is not

I had this issue around minmus in low orbit. The periapsis would fall anytime reaction wheels were running to turn or stabilize the ship. They were stable in timewarp.

#

time warp is stable

#

not the part where the craft has physics

probally resolved, just wiped the files and restalled the game
