When I try to do my deorbit burn with base sync mfd and glideslope mfd, I start the burn and while the burn is doing it's thing base sync mfd, in the "DEO" tab says "Deorbit burn data is only accurate if your ecc is 0.015 or less". the burn is done and I go for my reentry and I overshoot.

hi @Debs330 - I wrote that code (albeit a long long time ago). The message is to remind you to be in a circular orbit before deorbiting. If not, then your retro-burn depends on exactly where you are on the oval orbit.

Read the documentation in the MFD to learn how to make your own glideslope parameters for the altitude, burn, and alt / vel parameters down your own reentry corridor. Coming in too hot? Burn it mor gently on the next iteration, etc.
