3D direction arrows HUD.

[Galane]

It would be a help, especially to new players, to have a sort of HUD with directional arrows and letters appearing to float next to or around the spacecraft so one could see exactly which way it will move with each key.

The HUD should be configurable so any or all the arrows can be turned off. For example, Q and E for roll is pretty much always easy to see what the vehicle will do, so most players would quickly turn those off or never turn them on.

Even if you can turn it off, it would get pretty annoying...

You can always change to Chase Cam using the V key...

Something like that could be added to a tutorial to KSP. And would be nifty for starting players. But this is all something for a later version of KSP. And having more in-depth tutorials would be AMAZING. The game is very much in active development, and all the features aren't even in the game, let alone a guide to using them. Tutorials are more for the "polish" and "near release candidate" dev steps.

How would it be annoying if you never turned it ON?
