Align with trajectory

Anyone else experiencing problems aligning with trajectory the dot is in the center of the cross-hairs but game message align with trajectory requiring a slight left Yaw one or more times to get it to Jump, happens mostly when Jumping from Normal space but has occurred during low to high wake. Seen it yesterday when I took the Cobra III out do do some outpost missions, again this morning with Cobra and Cutter.

Regards

I've noticed that. Typically only happens to me when I am flying a ship where my seat is not centered in the bridge, Cutter, FDL, etc.

It means your ship is simply drifting, usually I just hit boost when aligned or you can apply thrusters to counteract the drift.

Appears to be intermittent. Yeah I boost to jump to. I was using low wake then high wake to the Star when I was doing 1 Jump Data runs and comms reporting that agents have been dispatch sure enough when I pop up on SC I get the Pirate message then interdicted. Does not always work but when it does the High Wake jump is already locked.

Thanks

Lost a ship over this one....

I'm always on the thrust in combat......And especially when running.....

I was told that any thrust.....Up/down/left/right and you cannot align.....

Next time......

Stopped the thrust and boom I aligned.....
