Allthough Lazers clearly picked up the wrong tone, there seems to be some weird things going on in IMFD 5.3.
for example, today it turned me around in the middle of an ejection burn and smashed me right back into earth. This happened immediately after getting back into cockpit from external view, so there might be a relation.
However, the planet aproach burn to Mars thrusted me to kingdom come, several times. Maybe I'm just doing some stuff completely wrong, but the thing is so much automised that there isn't too much you can do (of course that's the major point about it, and not a point of critique, I'm just pretty helpless when anything goes wrong, which seems to be most of the time).
I'm anxiously waiting for the complete manual, which seems to arrive somewhen these days, maybe it will shed some light into what the hell I manage to do wrong every single time...

I think I know why the reverse-thrust problem occured. Seems to happen when I start the ejection burn after the scatule (which I did because I was afraid I'd go flying THROUGH the earth instead of around it. Lesson learned: For transfers with lot's of delta-v involved get into a higher orbit first to have more room...).
However, I have not been able to get the orbit-insertion program to work yet... works like a charm in 4.2, but somethig seems to have changed quite a bit there in the newer versions...
