There I am, practising and starting to feel right at home in the Earth-Moon system. Most gripping game since Elite A few questions still nag me:
Whenever I make an orbital course correction, I use the autopilot to align me with the cardinal directions. During the burn I keep the autopilot engaged, figuring this will improve precision. But is the actually correct procedure? Or should I disengage the autopilot before applying thrust?
Concerning the HUD: in both surface and orbit mode, the velocity vector marker is the circled plus symbol for your positive direction and the plus symbol for the negative direction. In docking mode, the symbols are interchanged. Is there a deeper reason for this or is it just an inconsistency in the user interface?
Thanks for listening!
