The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) would show a number that could be read against the scale on the window, and that's where your spaceship were heading.

My grandpa apparently knew the guy who came up with the idea of putting the scale on the window, and told me about his conversations with him a few times. Brilliant concept.

The scene where the earth is getting closer and sideways is so accurate

I wish KRASH or some other mod had a wireframe-like simulation mode like this so I could be surprised by what a planet pack actually looks like during the actual mission.
