SirMuff Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 I know that if you point at a spacecraft at the right spot, it makes a little purpleish waypoint that shows you how far away it is, is there anyway you can set it from far away without having to point at it with your mouse?Also, I have Mechjeb 1.9, and I can\'t find the rendezvous option.Help? <.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildkittyv1 Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 That\'s not a way point; the purple dots are nearby craft and are most likely there for when you\'re doing pinpoint landings to try and build a base - it gives you something to reference and aim at.

No, you can\'t change the marker settings, but it changes itself as you get closer in order to be more helpful. Let\'s see if I remember correctly: appears for the first time at 100km, at 20km the distance numbers appear and stay on, at 5km the name of the other vessels is added, at 1km it switches over to distance in meters, at ?? the little box vanishes because you can see the ship itself, and at 10m? all the labels disappear again so you can see the other ship better, but you can still get a distance reading by hovering the mouse over the center of the other ship\'s capsule. If this display gets in the way you can turn it on/off with the F4 key. So you can\'t change the settings, but it does get more helpful as you get closer.
