Just noticed a minor issue (might be just me), the inclination entry field appears to be in radians as specifying 90° results in the vessel performing a polar orbit.

This is further confirmed by entering 1.57079633 which (for those who don't know) is 90° in radians

Not a big issue for me now that i worked out why it kept on going to the poles but might be something that'll irritate others. Running version 2.0.8.0

I was unable to reproduce this. Entering in "30" puts the craft in a 30 degree inclination orbit (which would have been about a -81 degree orbit if it had been converted to radians)

Running fork from 6/14

I suspect this is a confusion of inclination and heading. An orbital inclination of 0° will give an orbit with a prograde heading of 90°, while a 90° inclination orbit will have a prograde heading of either 0° or 180°, depending on the phase of the orbit.

That would explain it :)

Please pardon my stupidity
