Anyone else notice this?

I have noticed that the IVA view's navball contains an extra icon; it's blue and points in the opposite direction of your current maneuver node. Has this always been in the game or is it a new addition?

New in .20. Not sure what use it is unless you put your command module on backward.

So you know which way to turn to get to the regular blue icon. If you have a slow truning ship, this can come in quite handy.

It was there in .19. It does save some time figuring out which way to point.

It's the retro grade maneuver marker. Just in case you really want the screw up your maneuver!

I suppose it can come in handy if you're a bit heavy on the power lever when executing a node and over shoot it, You could always quickly turn retro-node and bring it back in line.

Its there so you can easily find the real prograde marker. If it isn't on your side of the navball and the node is coming up fast, you want to make sure you are turning the right way.

Really, I wish the anti-node indicator was on the non-IVA navball too. It's dead useful, especially for upside-down ships where the command module is pointing towards the ground.

Yes, sometimes you have to search for it,

I haven't seen a new marker. Is it only on IVA view?

If you overshoot, the node marker automatically moves to the other side. It's not static, that's why it usually goes crazy near the end of a burn.

I've had to make a few burns when the engine was pointing in the opposite direction of the command part. The retrograde maneuver marker is incredibly useful for these. I would love for it to be on the regular nav-ball, but I can see how that might be confusing;)

Yes. It will be very useful.

We all make mistakes...
