Is there a toggle to display kerbal engineer information when in flight?

[Pottertown]

I don't know if this is a bug, or if there's a toggle i'm not aware of.

My issue is this: I sporadically (more times it doesn't display) get the quick navigation help information displayed or not. I'm referring to the information about the AP/PE altittude, vehicle vertical speed, horizontal speed etc that is displayed at the top to the right and left. Sometimes it's there, sometimes not. I feel that it's likely something that i'm toggling off myself when I accidentally bang some key during a mission, and then accidentally turn it on again.

Thanks for your help, and sorry if this has been asked already or is explained somewhere already.

Cheers!

Totally the wrong place to post this question (it should either be in the "modded support" sub-forum or the KER thread itself), but the answer is, yes, the '/' key toggles the display both in flight and in the editors.

P.S. Welcome to the forums...

That's a great first message, in the wrong forum!

Sorry about that, and thanks for both the answer and the welcome.

Don't you mean the '\' key?

You should, I dunno, check the Kerbal Engineer thread, or ask one of the developers.

Haha, sorry about that, I did actually check the changelog link in the KER first post because I don't use it that often and wasn't sure which one it was but when I typed my reply I hit the wrong one for some reason... Doh!

The other way to do it is to click on the KER button (or hover over it) in the top right menu and click the Hud1 and Hud2 buttons.

Thanks again for the replies.

I notice that the "\" key will open up the actual windows, but i'm trying to understand why only sometimes I get the summarized list of flight data that populates at the top right and left of the screen when you are in the staging view when you're flying. Knowing where the AP/PE and relative velocities is amazing and means for most launches I don't even need to check the map screen until I am already in orbit. I'm testing out and I can see the "\" key is not also enabling these overlays.

Thanks again for the help.

Wow, ok I found it. Sorry to be such a noob.

Here's where I went wrong:

A) Wrong forum

Reading helps, I was able to ascertain how to fix this by searching through the Redux post.

The answer, in case anyone else is wondering, is that you either need the engineering module installed on your craft, or you need an engineer on board.

Thanks again guys, close this post if you want.

Cheers!

One more thing, with the latest KER version window toggles are active without parts only when you have an engineer kerbal on-board.
