When trying to do orbital rendez-vous, after selecting your target, you have to play with the maneuver node to try to get a closest approach point somewhere further along your orbit...
I find it extremely difficult to get the approach info to appear on the screen. I figured you have to tap your white rocket icon (or white targeted craft icon?) which represents where you will be at the time of closest approach, but the icons are very small and when I try tapping on it, it keeps giving me a circled + icon to create another maneuver node... 😣

After multiple tries when I FINALLY get the approach info to appear, I find it EXTREMELY small and almost impossible to read... 😩

The size of these numbers & info is not affected by the User Interface Size adjustments in the Settings... It remains EXTREMELY small no matter what.

I suggest making the Approach Info more readable by making it the same size on screen as the Appoapsis & Periapsis numbers, which are adjustable with the UI settings.

    I’d like to add that my viewer is always open and always over the rocket. I would love to to have it not appear everytime in the same place, on mobile it’s as big as 1/3 of my phone

    Thanks @astrotommy you must have younger eyes than I do, other than seeing a rocket icon while running other ppls good crafts, I had no idea what I was missing or how to even form the question without feeling like a noob. I wasn’t even sure of the times I did vs didn’t see that icon and I can only guess how long it would of taken for me to put it together, I suspect that on my first home built interplanetary ship I would of not let it be a mystery to me then(especially when it’s vital to making the insertion.

    @Ambarveis When you're in Map view tao the thing that shows you orbital details and then open more options and turn Verbosity to High

    I second, trying to toggle the apoapsis and periapsis is really difficult. Is there a button made for that? Also is it that PC has more detail than mobile

    Or have it available within orbit details would be nice?! Cause SR1 was really easy
