TransX Pe time does not match up on Orbit MFD

[spacekid1998]

why aren't the two periapsis aligned?

Don't use TransX myself, but it looks the lower details are for your planned burn. It looks about 120 degrees ahead in your orbit to me

Also, looking at the Pe MJD in the top section, it's expected in 0.0036 days which is approx 311 seconds!

You've got to align them.

Point prograde.

when you are approx halfway between your apoapsis and periapsis (just eyeball it as a best guess) use linear thrusters (num pad 6 or 9) to rotate your periapsis to match your target periapsis.

Don't burn for more than 2 or 3 seconds. if they didn't line up in that amount of time, re-estimate your next halfway point and do another burn. If you burn too long you can screw up your orbit and in extreme situations you may accidentally de-orbit.

steps 60.5 thru 65 on this checklist for ISS rendezvous. Pretty much the same concept in both.

Yep. It appears that the T to Pe is for the periapsis of the NEW orbit after the burn. The Pe MJD still gives you the time you'll get there in your current orbit.
