Feature request: Angular & Relative velocity display

Post #1by JackHiggins » 02.01.2004, 18:39

I think I suggested this a while back, but can't find the thread right now...

Anyway, these are two features which I think should definitely be added to the verbose information text. How hard could it really be to implement...? There's a speed reading down on the lower left which is completely unused unless you're flying through space on your own- if this displayed relative speed between you and another body, it would become much more useful, and not just in spaceflight, in normal use also.

Angular velocity would be of the currently selected object, and could be another reading just above relative velocity.

Who else would like this...? Seems like one of the few important things which the info display is still missing!
