Navball 90 degrees out counter-clockwise

[LordFerret]

Greetz...

Just downloaded and unpacked 0.24.2, ran it vanilla, Win8.1, to check it out. First thing I noticed was the Navball is 90 degrees out (and backwards???), as are the 'arrow' keys to steer...

What did I do this time.

Looks like you rotated the command pod.

V0.24 turned the construction in the VAB by 90 degrees. So now the default orientation of new craft in the VAB matches the orientation of craft on the pad. When you build a new ship in the VAB, the MK1 hatch should be visible when you are viewing the craft with your flag in the background.

Thanks Claw.

I've put a few more pictures below.

When the VAB first opens up...

When I select the capsule...

Out on the launchpad...

I'll guess this is the new startup? It will take a little getting use to.

Yep, you got it.

The launch pad is the same orientation as it was, so hopefully no need to relearn how to fly.

The VAB takes a little getting used to, but after a few hours I didn't notice anymore.

I didn't need to get used to it, it comes perfectly natural to me the way it is. You see the rocket, and you see the launchpad out the door. And the rocket will be put on the launchpad exactly the way it is put in the VAB relative to that launchpad.

Some time ago there was a challenge to reach the island runway as fast as possible. It was awkward to build my rocket (which was pre-tilted towards the island for launch) in the right angle to how it was then put on launchpad.
