Description

I was having a gander at the KerbalPedia pages linked in the DevNotes: http://t.umblr.com/redirect?z=http%3A%2F%2Fimgur.com%2Fa%2Fav8VK&t=MjE1NjkyZDJiZWFmZTU0MTRhZjI5YzMyZTIyMWY4OGVhNGUwOWM3YSx5TGJPUGNOMw%3D%3D

and one bit of the Orbit Nodes page caught my eye: http://i.imgur.com/HSh83Zq.png

I haven't played 1.1, but how it worked when last I checked was that the Mun (for example)position was indicated at the time of periapsis, and that to view the location at time of SOI change as mentioned in the graphic, the player had to hover their mouse over the relevant SOI change indicator. Am I wrong? Has it changed?

Ver 1.1.3.1289 (x64) Windows

The KerbalPedia (as shown in screenshot) say that the marker shows where the Mun will be "when the SOI change occurs." The default behavior, however, is to show the location of the Mun when the craft reaches periapsis relative to the Mun. (pretty sure that's what that is, anyway.) It took me a long time to discover that it shows the location of the Mun or whatever second body at the location of the SOI changes if the user hovers his cursor over the relevant transition point. In addition to correcting the error, the additional information could help new players. I don't remember ever seeing it published anywhere.

I've had to add mouse pointers into these screenshots because "print screen" leaves the cursor out. Also, mousing over the default body display point shows date and time the body will cross that point, which I just discovered right now.

Got excited, then confused. So, it's expected that it's not resolved yet in the main release?

It has been addressed and should read correctly now. Please mark as resolved if you agree?

#9 Updated by orcaman98 over 7 years ago

That's a negative, Squelch. ver 1.2.0.1586 Windows 64 bit. Did an integrity check with Steam. (Found errors, but the error was still there after.) Is Steam leaving me behind or something?

#10 Updated by orcaman98 over 7 years ago

Just because it's you guys, I ran the integrity check once more after. Failed, said it would reacquire one file. Looked at the KSPedia again, same page. Repeat integrity check result, repeat KSPedia check, then a successful integrity check, then another failed check. No joy on the KSPedia page at any time, but I apparently have a buggy install, so I guess I'm not the best reference case anymore. I'll let you know if I can get that sorted. Do you have a screencap of yours?

Update: Every time I run the game, Steam feels that PartDatabase.cfg in the KSP root directory no longer matches, even though MS Word is certain that the original and the replacement that Steam adds are identical. But, since that doesn't appear related, and forcing Steam to reacquire that KSPedia page didn't take care of it either, I'm going to go with not fixed.
