So far I'm having much fun! But I still don't understand some things. Like in designer while analyzing Rocket Performamce: if I'm assuming correctly, TWR is Thrust-to-Weight-Ratio, right? What do the numbers mean? They usually display like 56.21x or 42.34x or something, what does "X" here mean?

And on Apoapsis and Periapsis, is there a button to permanently toggle it on? It keeps on disappearing, and the only way to see it properly seems to be through using the auto-burn thingamajig.

Are there settings to add details to the Flight/Orbit Panel?

Mmm, that seems to be all, for now.

(also i definitely am hyping for the solar system hella exciting!... probably still months/years away tho)

    @Kell im pretty sure op is looking at the TWR of a certain engine and not the whole craft.

    1. The “x” means times. So “56.21x” means that your thrust is 56.21 times your weight, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 56.21. Note: a TWR of more than 4 on the surface of Droo or Earth will eventually kill any astronauts or test dummies on board.
    2. To keep showing apoapsis and periapsis, choose high under map view -> map options -> UI verbosity. Graphical tutorial here
    3. I do not think you can add more details to the flight view. It already shows a lot of data.
