Inclination data

[lajoswinkler]

Could we finally get inclination data in map view and tracking station? Why was it never added? I do remember people asked about it very often.

I was wondering this same thing. With the new KerbNet feature, it gives you coordinates and the altitude for a certain point. Adding a inclination read out to this would be incredibly helpful for determining landing sites.

EDIT:

Unless you are referring to orbit inclination, then disregard the above (although I feel it would be useful as well). After posting I realized you might be referring to orbit inclination rather than surface inclination .

If orbital inclination:

I'd imagine the reasoning goes like this: "Want to know your inclination? Target the Mün. Oh, you're out of Kerbin's SOI? Target whatever you're trying to rendezvous with. Oh, you're not going for any object? Then you're in a tiny minority. Why don't you try a mod?"

Never needed this myself, but I don't oppose adding the info in if a suitable place is available. The ideal would be a toggleable, detailed orbital parameter display just for high-end control modules.

If surface inclination:

This would make a fine addition to higher-tech versions of KerbNet, along with the height reading.
