Orbital Direction Marker in Map View


Tynrael

Recommended Posts

This is minor, but it always irks me when I have to timewarp to see what direction my vessel is going. If I am orbiting the camera all over the place, trying to align with a contract satellite mission, etc... I may have to do this more than once to help ensure I am adjusting my normal to result in the needed direction of the contract.

It would be convenient for something like an arrow sprite that renders tangential to the orbit pointing in front of the vessel. Or am I alone in thinking this could be useful?

(Yes I know I could look at my AP/PE and see which time-to was shorter)

When I'm not sure which way I'm orbiting in the map view, I'l click on the orbit near the vehicle I'm flying and create a temporary maneuver node. The prograde and retrograde markers will then tell you which direction you're travelling.
