Impact velocity figure for impact indicator


Recommended Posts

It'd be nice if the impact indicator that appears when you're on a collision course with a celestial body also told you your impact velocity when you mouse over it, it'd make planning out landings and suicide burns a lot easier.

Something like this:

It would be great if they also told where you'd impact the planet's surface accounting for its rotation, like the impact marker from KER. Even better would be one that accounts for atmospheric drag and lift, like Trajectories.

The ability to see your velocity at impact should apply to anywhere in your orbit- when you mouse over the orbit line it tells how fast you will be going there. It would be good for estimating maneuvers or knowing when aerobraking will be too deadly.
