Finding the exact direction you're traveling in quickly is annoyingly difficult in this game. This is entirely unnecessary and can be fixed with a flight path marker, which is already a thing on modern aircraft. It's so useful that I find it hard to believe that any manufacturer would leave this off of a spacecraft HUD.
Most of that is on the HUD - have you switched it off accidentally? Use Ctrl+Alt+G to switch it back on.
Otherwise you should probably tell the devs what you are trying to achieve - though given most players in this 10 year old game can manage to navigate ok with the current HUD I wouldn't hold your breath for any updates.

In previous games there was a velocity indicator, which appears to have removed for this one. Although my guess is it's likely down to the fact that most of the time you won't even see it on screen if you're doing high speed turns, and if you're traveling forwards, you should already know that.
Personally in combat I prefer less screen clutter and I can't think of any other time something like this would have been useful. So I've nothing against implementing it, so long as it can be disabled.

I was going to say the same but then I remembered there's not much dust near planets and maybe that's where they want it.
They could also enable the mouse widget to put a dot at the screen centre.
But I doubt the OP wants something that basic.
They want a vector indicator, which is something that has been asked many times, not just a dot on the screen.
This is a nose vector, not a flight path vector.
