Keep Apoapsis and Periapsis On in 0.24?

[mpk10]

Is it just me? or did you used to be able to click on the Apoapsis and Periapsis in map mode in order to leave them visible as you made actual (or maneuver mode) adjustments? I don't seem to be able to do this in the new version.

Is there a new way to keep them visible that I don't know about?

Thanks!

Matt

It's still the same, what problem are you having with it?

when I click it, it doesn't stay up on the screen. huh.

[Pecan]

Can't suggest anything else I'm afraid. It can be tricky to click the tag without KSP wanting to create a new node but when I do the figures stay displayed - I've been using it a lot.

I've had problems getting it to work in the past, and I have yet to get this to work in 0.24.

[Claw]

It still works the same, just seems to be more finicky. Even more so in x64.

On my Mac, they simply do not work at all. With 0.23.5, I had a hard time keeping them from popping up. It's a minor issue for me because in my main install, I use mods that show that information.

You can take a look at my log (stock install), but I see nothing in there of interest.

Yep, definitely not working anymore on the Mac in .24 - kind of a shame, but always felt pretty dodgy, so maybe it was a useful bug all along.

Just to be clear, the AP/PE pops up if you mouse over, but you can't get it to stick when clicked on. Is that right?

[Master Tao]

Yes, that's right. I see AP and PE flags on the orbit and I see the altitude and time to reach that point when I mouse over them. Clicking on and near them has no effect any more. That's true for the controlled ship's orbit and target ship's orbit.

Edit: possibly part of a larger problem with left clicks.

I've been seeing complaints about left clicks under x64, but not as many about x32. I'm not a mac user myself, so I'm not much help there.

[KingPhantom]

left click? in my x64 the rightclick works only on every second or third click.

[Starwaster]

click and hold for a second or two then release

that works for me. sometimes.

[Frank_G]

The same problem occurs in my install too, also on a Mac.

I'll try the click and hold stuff mentioned by Starwaster this evening.

Yes This is exactly my problem too. Mouseover works fine. I use a mac, so maybe it is just a mac thing. Fine tuning interplanetary transfers is much more difficult without this feature

I double click on it and it stays. single click doesn't seem to work.

Double clicking does not work for me. Are you on a Mac? How did you install KSP? What version of KSP are you using?

Thanks. Will do.

Macs are funny. You have to click on the apoapsis, click outside of the window running KSP and then while the desktop is in focus put your mouse over either apokee or perikee and it should pop up. Same goes for clicking on a pod hatch.

That... actually works! For hatches, anyway. The AP/PE info still doesn't stay on for me. Unless you have two screens, you won't be able to play full screen – you can have focus on another window, not just the desktop.

Captain_Party, care to do the honors adding to the official bug report?

I wasn't having trouble with the hatches. (or at least it's not a feature I'm familar enough with to know whether it's working for me). Unfortunately, it doesn't work for me with the Ap/Pe either.

[Crazor]

The "click-on-another-window-then-doubleclick the AP flag" works for me, too! Amazing. Thanks everyone...

[Captain_Party]

Your welcome I found it after a tonne of messing around and asking on the forums. Thanks for the rep Tao!
