Change the starting camera direction in VAB to match launch direction


Recommended Posts

The default view in the VAB is opposite of the default launch view. For example, by default control pods are placed with their windows facing away from the camera in the VAB but when they are launched, the windows are facing towards the default launch camera. 

This can make building ships somewhat confusing and I need to keep remembering that the VAB is inverted when I am placing things like boosters on a shuttle style craft, otherwise I might place them on the wrong side. Before I realized what was happening, this also lead to me to thinking the controls were somehow inverted and accidentally launching a ship to the west rather than to the east, because I rotated the cockpit in the VAB to face me like it does on launch, which of course resulted in the ship being turned 180 degrees when I actually launched.

The VAB should load in with the camera a the ship wall rather than the space plane wall to match the default launch camera direction.
