There is no auto-burn with TransX (as far as I can tell) I do the burn when the time to burn counter reaches 0 and burn until the Delta V is at zero. I did use the auto-center feature for both burns, but manually tracking the green X gets a similar result as well. Both screenshots are of the same burn but using Multistage2015 for one and Multistage2 for the other. This is an issue with Multistage2015 as Multistage2, Spacecraft3, and Velcro Rockets don't have this problem with TransX.

The issue is more notable when the Delta V requirements are larger, with Multistage2 coming very close if not nailing it and Multistage2015 being way off.

I'll try to give a high Delta V example in an attempt to better illustrate what I'm talking about.

I did an example with Voyager-1, here's the post-burn trajectory using Multistage2015:
Here's the post-burn trajectory using the old Multistage2:
Making these examples, I discovered the reason for the difference in trajectories. There's a discrepancy in the time to burn countdown when loading the save file using Multistage2015 vs. Multistage2.
This is an example of the time to burn using MS2015:
And here is the same but with MS2:

In short, TransX anticipates a longer burn time with Multistage2015 so it moves the burn timer to have the burn occur earlier than it needs to. I don't know why that is though.
