It's something you can never spot on the navball itself until you correlate with what you're seeing your rocket do.Īlso no, I wouldn't turn off automatic navball mode switching if such an option were presented. It's a lot worse when your control point changes after docking maneuvers. Worst case, you're switching camera and navball modes at the same time, but you can still tell which mode you're in when looking at the navball. I never saw controls change due to camera mode switching. So you are trying to deorbit but you have a target locked.of course it must be the game's faultĬontrols are always relative to the navball, so it's perfectly feasible. I've also had the game swap modes on me when I wasn't actually trying to dock yet but I just happened to have gotten near enough to my selected target ship that it changed modes "for me" without warning.
When the meaning of a thing changes without any player input telling it to change it causes confusion.
KERBAL SPACE PROGRAM NAVBALL TARGET MODE MANUAL
I strongly feel that the change of modes should happen only with the manual click by the player on the navball, and NOT happen automatically without player input. It confused me because it made no sense how burning retrograde would do that, when I thought it was orbital retrograde and not target retrograde. I try to de-orbit, I waste fuel and can't figure out what's wrong, and then notice the game has changed the navball to target mode without me noticing, so the retrograde marker isn't my *REAL* retrograde marker.)įirst off, it confused me back when I was a newbie first learning to dock because people would tell you to "burn retrograde until your velocity stops" without mentioning that this isn't the same retrograde as before, and the navball markers have changed their meaning automatically without me doing anything. I've been screwed up by the auto-switch to target mode on the navball enough times that I'm really starting to hate that feature.
