What's Up with the Navball?

[deltalambdamu]

I've not played this game in months and just played it again today. I noticed that the Navball is different. In Orbit mode, I see a light-blue, circular marker. Later, I was spinning my rocket around to do a landing and saw a pink triangle like the one that appears on the map when plotting a maneuver. Like I said, it's been months since I last played so everything new(er) is, well, still brand new to me. What is new in terms of the Navball? I noticed already that if the maneuver node is not shown, an arrow will point towards it.

In the latest updated, they added navball markers for normal/anti-normal and radial in/out, as well as the original prograde/retrograde. The symbols are the same as on the maneuver-node 'arms'. Also, the arrow that you mention.

AFAIK that's all the changes to the navball.

Radial in/out?

Radial in/out?

For burning directly away from the planet or directly towards it. If you want to get technical, it's "radial" for away and "anti-radial" for straight into the orbit's center. Unless I've got it backwards :S

It is towards the center of the orbit. 90 degrees off your prograde. Minor difference I know but an important one.

I like the little blue arrow that shows you where your maneuver node is on the gimbal. Helps on some of my rockets that take awhile to turn

That's sort of what I meant, and at least in a circular orbit it means the same lol.

What's up with it...?

I'm pretty sure it's the blue hemisphere

I like the new stock navball more than the enhanced navball. I think the arrow is nicer than the ghosting.
