Declutter map view


Recommended Posts

Noob player here, just been mucking around with interplanetary transfers, I thought it would be useful if it would be possible to declutter the map view, perhaps one could select just the destination planets orbit line. Gets a bit confusing with so many lines drawn on map, especially when I'm trying to plot a inclination maneuver when viewing the orbits side on.

Thanks,

Yeah, this suggestion has been made dozens of times over the last 12 months, I'm amazed something to fix at least some of the problems with map view hasn't happened in that time.

For the record, list of problems in map view includes (but is not limited to):

- Maneuver nodes closing / disappearing

- Not being able to place maneuver nodes on some trajectories

- Not being able to drag maneuver nodes past some points on your trajectory

- Maneuver node handles are too finicky (where's the freaking hotkeys already?)

- Maneuver nodes are difficult or impossible to use when attempting to tweak interplanetary intercepts, since you usually can't zoom in on the planet and still see the node handles.

- Icons clutter over each other making them difficult or impossible to click

- Inability to click another icon to set a target when two orbits are close together

- Inability to place a node when two orbits are close together

There are a few mods around that fix most of these problems... but of course if you play with mods devs and forum moderators will ignore any bug reports you make, and you roll the dice with game stability.

Why ask for a feature when it is already in the game?

Just move your cursor to the top center of the screen, open the pull-down menu and left or right click on whatever type of vessel you want to add or remove from the map.

Sorry my bad. Thanks for the list, didn't realise some of these issues existed until now :)

I was thinking more of the orbit lines of planets.

Thanks
