No longer seeing mission orbits

[coreyfro]

Hey all,

I am no longer seeing mission target orbits. I am trying to match a sun orbit and I cannot see the orbit I am supposed to achieve. I have textual descriptions of the orbit, but heck if I know how to match certain aspects of the orbit such as argument of Periphrasis.

Did I toggle these off? I searched the key bindings and I don't see a key to turn them back on.

I have Kerbal Engineer mod and Way point mod, and that's it.

What's the mission parameters - i.e. what Pe and Ap's do you need to achieve - I'm fairly sure I had a sun orbit mission, which when I looked at the numbers and compared them to Kerbin's orbit was something like 10x larger - the UI couldn't scroll out far enough to see the orbit.

Needless to say, I cancelled the mission, paid the penalty and walked away laughing at the contractee.

Did you focus at the sun?

You should be able to see the orbits when in the tracking station or when you're in map view within the same SOI.

Yeah, target orbits only appear when your map view is centered on the body that you're supposed to orbit. So Kerbin orbits show up by default. If you want to see a target around any other planet or the sun, you need to double-click on that body to focus on it.

This might be the obvious question but: Did you upgrad your tracking station and Mission control? "Flight Planning" is unlocked once you upgrade mission control. Without it you won't see the target orbit.
