Default Orientation East instead of North

[SlinkyMcman]

I rotate all parts that should face east to face east in VAB, and every time I forget I slap my face.

Just wait till your done and Shift click the entire craft (or select the root part) and rotate it.

I wish it was configurable, since I do the same thing.

 

Until then, however:

Oh man, that's light enough to make it to my mods list, thanks.

I think there was a reason for this, just for brand new players to see the rocket tilt without rotating around, but after about 10 minutes you really want to face east. Seems like a really easy thing to add to the settings menu.

If perhaps the default view (once the vehicle is on the pad) actually looked east it would be an easier adjustment to the players perception.

As it stands, you can rotate all you want in the VAB, but once you are on the pad you are always initially looking north - and you have to rotate your camera (if you want).  So either way, a bit of consistency would go a long way - configurable would be lovely.

Oh yes please.

(Also thanks for the mod suggestion, that goes in my list.)

By default, in vab the camera faces north, and does the same as soon as you load your rocket. And for majority of the time, it stays more or less that way because when I launch it, I want to see how my rocket behaves in flight. (it's worth mentioning that I have aero overlay on so I can observe when I turn too aggressive) And yeah I'm more used to use A D for controlling, rather than W S, so I rotate my rocket in vab only on the rare occasions when I aim for polar orbit.
