I've managed to get to the moon and land at Brighton Beach once. Now the last few launches I've made the green orbital plane line wont show up. I have it set to reference moon and target is set for Brighton Beach. I dont think I've turned anything off or on by mistake. What am I missing?

How does your Orbit MFD look like? Are you in lunar orbit?

If you are in low Earth orbit, you should have no line but something like a small circle or 8 on the map, when projected onto the moon, since the moon is tidal locked to Earth.
 
Last night I was in a 15km high orbit with 0.000 ecc and there was still no orbit plane line. But now tonight when I booted up orbiter, I went into launchpad and turned off TransX which I enabled the other night and now on my way to the moon the plane line is on when I switch to the map with the moon as a reference. I'm not sure if last night was a glitch or TransX had something to do with it?
