Button for permanently displaying apo/peri values


Recommended Posts

Hello there

I have suggestion for improvement (well at least I see it as improvement :blush:) of user interface.

In map view we are able hover the cursor over apoapsis/periapsis markers to see the value.

And if clicked, value stays displayed even when cursor moves off the markers.

Issue is:

When doing orbital transfers you will be zooming in and out to see your encounter and periapsis of that encounter.

Next thing you want to, is adjust your maneuver node.

So you have to actually click that little thing thats zoomed out so much, that you must click multiple times to actually hit it to expand.

In the meantime, you most likely activated apo/per values over the departing planet so it gets rather messy.

Or when adjusting your encounter.

You cant make planed maneuver node values permanent.

My suggestion is:

Adding small buttons.... lets say to the surface of the navball.

To activate or deactivate displaying those values permanently.

One for current orbit.

Second for projected orbit(maneuver node).

Or just one for both.
