One of the most useful mods I have ever downloaded! Thank you so much! Now I don't need to eyeball it from the NAV ball :>

Been using this one for good long while now, figured I should drop in and say thanks and also yell a bit at keen about how this should be vanilla.

Hey there; got a crash when using merge blocks to connect two ships into one:

You can add it in the Mods field of PluginLoader.
Press the + button in the lower right corner.

Has this been removed for plugins? It's not here as far as I can tell.
Blad Cuprum 30 Sep, 2024 @ 6:13pm 
How do I find this in the plugin loader?

One of the smallest and tremindusly gamechanging thing ever.

Thanks for everything buddy.

nah

It's a good idea but it gets in the way of aiming too much, can you make it togglable on a hotkey? If I remember right, it was T to toggle that view in the actual KSP mod that did this.
BDCarrillo  [author] 12 Mar, 2024 @ 10:29am 
Well I can account for that, nice find!
Star_Kindler 12 Mar, 2024 @ 7:27am 
Aha! I found that the default sync distance of 3km causes the bugs. You have to go into the world files and update that as well as the view distance for this mod to work.
BDCarrillo  [author] 12 Mar, 2024 @ 7:09am 
I'm not able to reproduce any issues with view distances from 5-50km (last patch addressed incorrect symbols if view dist < 10km)
Star_Kindler 11 Mar, 2024 @ 5:37pm 
Yeah all of a sudden that's happening to me too. And the gravity marker won't show up anymore.
BDCarrillo  [author] 11 Mar, 2024 @ 1:05pm 
Abel- looks like that can happen on the lowest view distance settings. I'll need to patch that out
Abel 11 Mar, 2024 @ 7:57am 
can anyone tell me how to solve one problem with this mod? Instead of the prograde symbol, a second retrograde symbol identical to the first is displayed
BDCarrillo  [author] 6 Mar, 2024 @ 1:47pm 
The deceleration info only pops up when your angle and velocity are consistent for long enough to warrant spamming the hud with the text. It's a fairly rudimentary feature
mugsy 3 Mar, 2024 @ 3:28am 
ahhhh, I managed to get it to come up by deleting the config and letting it make another.
the way its presented does not really lend well to space engineers though and i think the analog input breaks it a little :) should this not constantly provide total stopping distance using current direction and max thrust available in the opposite to direction of travel. you could then more easily fly crippled ships or stop within close ranges of a gps point from silly speeds that would not normally be sensible.
mugsy 3 Mar, 2024 @ 3:01am 
i just started flying with joysticks and analog grid control.
its so good that it feels fresh and new again, these markers make it much easier to fly in gravity without dampeners on twin stick... only drama i am having is the stopping distance does not seem to show up at all.
STUNNING & BRAVE 19 Feb, 2024 @ 8:29pm 
Yes so it seems the issue is with bold, have been using bold for sometime and it just stopped working idk. but non bold works
BDCarrillo  [author] 19 Feb, 2024 @ 1:59pm 
are you using the "bold" mode or regular? "/vector bold" will cycle them. Curious that no one has ever reported something similar, but if things are jacking with the camera's view matrix I could see this potentially happening
STUNNING & BRAVE 19 Feb, 2024 @ 5:22am 
Got an issue where the blue indicator is invisible anywhere other than the edges of the screen.
BDCarrillo  [author] 19 Jan, 2024 @ 11:32pm 
Amusingly that jittery movement you see is what SE is tracking for grid motion. I've bumped up the bottom end threshold from 0.01 to 0.1 m/s
STUNNING & BRAVE 19 Jan, 2024 @ 9:06pm 
Awesome mod thank you. Is there a way to not show the flight vector when under like, 0.5ms? At really low speeds it jitters and spazzes everywhere.
BDCarrillo  [author] 2 Sep, 2023 @ 9:18pm 
For aerial stuff I'd recommend Consty's Aircraft Pack- it has multi function HUDs that pair perfectly with some of Whip's scripts.
VivaVii 2 Sep, 2023 @ 8:40pm 
Could something like this inevitably lead to the sort of bearing and speed HUD that we see in aerial combat games?
BDCarrillo  [author] 31 Aug, 2023 @ 8:53pm 
TY!
Star_Kindler 28 Aug, 2023 @ 11:17pm 
This mod has massively improved my Space Engineers experience, especially with space racing. Thank you so much for making it! It truly feels game-changing, especially since it's available client side too, so I can have it on all servers.

Fantastic mod!
BDCarrillo  [author] 19 Aug, 2023 @ 4:23pm 
Yes, client side mods will show up on the right hand side of plugin loader
Cobra Commander 19 Aug, 2023 @ 2:31pm 
I do not see this pop up in the Plugin Loader. It does show up as a Mod, client side. Is that intended ?
BDCarrillo  [author] 15 Aug, 2023 @ 5:59pm 
The stopinfo tries to guess when you're actually braking and has a bit of a delay to keep from flashing on off. If you're at vanilla speeds or not using hefty thrusters, you may not be meeting the criteria for it to appear
KagedDaemon 14 Aug, 2023 @ 7:15pm 
any idea why, atleast on the PL the stopinfo does not seem to work? could it be the server I run on?
KKComice 28 Jul, 2023 @ 6:01am 
Ah sorry i keep up on plugin loader surprised i didn't find it then thanks!
BDCarrillo  [author] 27 Jul, 2023 @ 1:25pm 
it's already on plugin loader...
KKComice 27 Jul, 2023 @ 5:12am 
Hi love the mod would you be willing to add it to plugin loader's supported mods i would like to use this mod for any server i join thank you.
Vaioplayer 6 Jul, 2023 @ 5:37pm 
It would be super cool if this was also applied to a target that you are locked onto, for combat and for scrapping purposes
jivaii 20 Jun, 2023 @ 8:08am 
I was thinking it could be useful in making course corrections as you're flying along
BDCarrillo  [author] 20 Jun, 2023 @ 7:55am 
jivali- in theory yes those can be added, but I don't see those as very useful in a situation without actual orbital mechanics. It also gets somewhat complicated by left/right and up/down relying on the cockpit orientation (which may not always make sense to the grid layout) instead of simply the velocity direction.
jivaii 19 Jun, 2023 @ 8:56pm 
Would getting normal/anti-normal and radial/anti-radial markers be possible? (maybe make those up/down and side/side in relation to flight direction?)
Amos Burton 5 Jun, 2023 @ 2:13pm 
thanks mate. this helps so much and saves on h2
BDCarrillo  [author] 15 May, 2023 @ 12:03pm 
It re-writes defaults on world load if there is an error in formatting of the config it finds in the folder
PanDevas 14 May, 2023 @ 2:47am 
Thx for the plugin, it's a complete gamechanger.

I do have problems with the config file though.
It's being rewritten every time I start the game with the default settings. Is it a bug, or a feature?
BDCarrillo  [author] 6 Apr, 2023 @ 8:25am 
Link to PluginLoader added. Once you have PluginLoader up and running, search for Flight Vector in the mods section
Kevinkt 6 Apr, 2023 @ 12:13am 
how do i add this as a plugin?
