⟨nickttd⟩ Damn I couldn't take a screenshot.

I experienced some weird issue where I deployed my second stage correctly, it was a 3x AJ10 with about 7100m/s, burn time on mechjeb was about 24mins)
<queqiao->
I planned a mars ejection burn with TWP and I needed around 3600m/s, launched into the correct inclination and LAN, (My orbit lined up with the ejection vector when I hit the button to show it)
<queqiao->
And I did manage to create the maneuver with the correct 3600m/s and got a 10km periapsis on mars.

⟨kuzinat0r⟩ Did you have all engine activated? Mechjeb is usually correct in estimating your deltaV stats
<queqiao->
⟨kuzinat0r⟩ * engines
<queqiao->
⟨nickttd⟩ yeah
<queqiao->
⟨nickttd⟩ I triple checked
<queqiao->
⟨kuzinat0r⟩ Regarding excessive deltaV usage - it's probably ok. With 40 minutes long burn you start it on the opposite side of the planet, effectively burning retrograde. But there's a more fundamental problem with your deltaV stats I can't help with
<queqiao->
⟨kuzinat0r⟩ Root part issue? Maybe mechjeb is too optimistic about your deltaV stats, but principia isn't?
