1.1.4.5, 2018-03-30, KSP 1.4.2 #2110

  • Fixed a NPE spam bug if target lat/long was enabled and target was not a ship
  • Rendezvous Readout Overhaul:
    • The goal here is to clean up the Rendezvous readouts to present only good information depending on the situation of your ship and the target.
    • Most of the calculations being done are between 2 orbits and are either not useful or mathmatically meaningless unless the 2 orbits are concentric and neither endppoint is landed.
    • This update tries to be 'smart' about which data to present:
      • If you are landed and your target is in direct orbit (i.e. Kerbin to Minimus):
        • The time and angles to AN/DN will show a (L) and represent the time and angles til you intersect the plane of the target.
        • The relative inclination is the raw inclination of the target, not realitve to the landed planet's inclination as before (hard to notice on Kerbin because it's 0)
        • Most other orbit comparison readouts will be 0
        • Target orbit data will be as normal.
        • Distance is cartesian distance between you and the target.
      • Conversely if you are in orbit and targeting a landed thing (i.e. Mun orbit to landed ship):
        • The time and angles to AN/DN will show a (L) and represent the time and angles til your target intersects your orbital plane.
        • The relative inclination is your raw inclination.
        • Most other orbit compatison readouts will be 0
        • Target orbit data will all be 0.
        • Distance is cartesian distance between you and the target.
      • If you and your target are both orbiting the same body:
        • Readouts are unchanged as this is how they were designed.
      • If your target is in a different SOI, regardless if you or your target is landed:
        • KER will search upward towards the sun from both ends to find the 2 orbits that share the same body and use those for calculation.
        • The actual orbit used as a source will be shown as 'Ref Orbit'
        • The actual orbit used as a target will be shown as 'Target Orbit'
        • Everything else will display as normal for those 2 concentric orbits.
        • For Example(s):
          • If you are targeting Eve and sitting on the launchpad, the calculation will show Kerbin as the Ref Orbit and all calculations will be between those 2 planets (this is actually how KER worked before it just wasn't clear about it)
          • If you are targeting Eve and orbiting kerbin it will be same as above, using Kerbin's and Eve's orbits (this is not how it was before)
          • If you are orbiting the Mun and targeting a probe landed on Laythe (y tho?), it will use Kerbin and Jool's orbits.
            • Once you escape the Mun it will use Kerbin and Jool.
            • Once you escape Kerbin it will use your ship and Jool.
            • Once in Jool's SOI it will use your ship and Laythe
            • Once in Laythe's SOI it will use the landed target calculations previously descibed.
            • Once on the ground it will use the ground-ground calulation in the next section.
      • If you and your target are both landed on the same body:
        • Pretty much everything will be 0 except distance and target lat/long/alt.
