Hello,
- suppose to open the two MFD: the Orbit and the Align Planes.

I think that the value "Inc" MUST be the same in the two MFD, am I right? (because it is referred to the same Orbital Inclination!!!)
Tell me if I'm wrong.

The problem is when I use the Energia rocket:
The two values are simply...different!!!
When I'm in orbit....the Inc value that I choose in the Energia Panel...is correct in the Orbit Plane...(but not in the other, of course...they are different!)
I'll post a photo:
It is before the launch , but in orbit the issue is the same...
You can see how the two Inc values are different in the two panels...how it comes???
What is the correct inclination value between the two??
How can I start with energia in the correct manner?

Thanks!

There are two different types of inclination:

Equatorial and eccliptical.

Equatorial is the angle of your Orbit from the equator, and eccliptical the angle from the eccliptic.

Align plane uses equatorial, and Orbit eccliptical. Press "FRM" on Orbit MFD to switch it from equatorial to eccliptical inclination.

Here and now
Also, for some reason OrbitMFD is refrenced to the Sun. It should be referenced to the Earth. You can use the [REF] button to change that, or press the [AR] button to auto-reference the planet who's influence you are under (in this case, Earth).
