When you touch the Nav Sphere (orange & blue navigation circles) you can see your heading and pitch angle appear on top of the screen, but only if you slide your finger and change your heading or pitch... You cannot see the numbers if you just touch the circles without changing anything. It would be nice to see the numbers when you simply touch the circles (without making a change) Sometimes you just wanna check what your actual heading or pitch is, without having to mess with them.

    @Kell thanks, I tried it and it still doesn't work. It would be great to have the numbers appear automatically as soon as you just touch the circles. But I will play more with that UI setting... I had no idea what it was for (because there is no explanation that appears when you keep your finger on it, like most other settings)
    Do you know what the letters UI stand for?

    Change UI verbosity to high with the map view -> side panel -> options -> UI verbosity settings @AstroTommy

    I posted this earlier and then removed it because it appeared to be working at some point but now I realize it doesn't really work most of the time... In fact, information display is one the the things I have the most trouble with in this game. ESPECIALLY not seeing my appoapsis & periapsis values on the screen... The numbers keep disappearing for some reason, often when I need to see them the most :-/
    I'm trying to figure out exactly how the game works and it's not easy. I figured when I tap my orbit the appoapsis & periapsis numbers appear for a few seconds only, then they disappear again. I wish we could see the numbers all the time like in Simple Rockets 1

    Another thing is the numbers are way too small on a phone screen, I will buy a new tablet so that might improve it tho.
    So if someone knows the magic trick to see your periapsis value beside the little orange arrow all the time, please let me know. I need to see it when planning a burn to circularize my orbit, when approaching a planet and I wanna make a correction, or when adjusting my orbit to rendez-vous with another craft for example. Thanks
