Description
Overview
When seated in a cockpit, this mod draws lines or symbols to depict the prograde, retrograde, and gravity vector for your current grid. Note the lines are a fixed length, and only indicate direction. Symbols/lines for prograde/retrograde will not appear if your grid is stationary.

There is also an optional calculation (off by default) to show deceleration time and distance based on your current thrust. This will only appear if you are decelerating, and by default should appear above the vanilla hud speed indicator. The position of this can be changed in the options menu.

Commands/Menu
Typing in "/vector" shows the available chat commands
Alternatively, hitting enter to bring up the chat box and hitting F2 will open the Mod Menu, where you can navigate to Flight Vector options and change them

Also available as a client-side mod via PluginLoader!

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.

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.

How do I find this in the plugin loader?

One of the smallest and tremindusly gamechanging thing ever.

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.

Well I can account for that, nice find!

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.
