Request: Vizzy - Get Prograde/Retrograde Pitch/Heading

[iYukon]

While it's nice being able to lock heading to prograde/retrograde and target/anti-target it would be nice to be able to get the information of those headings for use in comparisons.

I'd like to be able to see if my pitch [nav pitch] is within X of progrades pitch so I can make adjustments automatically in Vizzy. Currently, the only way I have found to do this is to flip from lock to unlock heading... It's not a direct comparison though and causes the [thing] ?nav ball? to flash constantly due to the constant change in vector during the while statement.

Is there a way to get the prograde pitch and heading information through some math using Vizzy? I'm sure there is, but I'm not smart enough to figure that out. Anyone out there been able to do this?

Specifically you want the sections entitled "Generating 'Heading' Values" and "Generating 'Pitch' Values", although I strongly recommend reading the preceding sections so that you understand why these formulas work.

Oh you legend!

Thank you!

btw, projecting onto up (edit: 'scuse, position) rather than gravity saves you a *-1

This is addressed in the section "Redefining axes for fun and profit." As the guide continues, eventually this change is made in the code. I see no point in re-doing dozens of screenshots to fix something that works perfectly well.
