See screenshot for a comparison with "OrientationView"
orientationview_vs_navball

See http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Navball for explanation of a "NavBall".
Advantages:

  • Visualizes heading and attitude within same widget.
  • No singularities when pitch is near ±90°
  • Also, current OrientationView has a bug that displayed pitch angle depends on window size

Texture is taken from this thread: http://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/63113-making-high-contrast-nav-ball/

TODO:

  • Overlay (border + level indicator)
  • print heading in degrees (optional)
  • make texture customizable?
  • make coordinate system customizable?
  • show direction of movement (prograde and retrograde markers)

Looks very nice 👍
Having fields underneath showing the current roll, pitch and yaw in rad and degree would be good as well.
