Celestia Forums

I would like to have a view looking downwards from a satellite that is in an inclined orbit around the Earth, such as the ISS orbit inclined at around 50 degrees. Is this possible? Any example scriptsa would be very much appreciated. For the future...it would be fantastic if Celestia could accept tw...

I want to produce a script so that I can fly from the earth to another planet changing the view to look back to the receeding earth.

I tried the command:

lookback()

..but it didn't seem to do anything.

Can anybody show me how to do this?

Thanks for any help.

Selden, Thanks for your reply. This is actually what I am doing at the moment, but it's a bit 'clonky'. Also in my wish list would be some display controls such as a verbosity control and full screen display control. Toggle type controls are difficult for a remote controlling programme because if yo...

Hi, I am wanting to use Celestia as a 'display device' for an interactive display in an educational environment. As such I want remote control of Celestia so that I can navigate to different places and change displays 'on the fly' rather than under script control. I thought that a socket interface (...

I would like to be able to control Celestia by sending commands to it over a network interface. A remote computer would connect to the Celestia host with a TCP/IP connection and then send text strings using the same command language as the scripting feature.

Thanks Andrea,

This method is OK to launch Celestia in full screen mode but it can't be used to turn full screen off again under the control of another program, which is what I wanted to do. That's why I wondered if there was a script command to do this.

Not sure I understand your reply. With other applications if I display them on the secondary monitor and maximise them, they stay on the secondary monitor. With Celestia, it moves to the primary monitor when I go full screen and back to the secondary monitor when I un-full screen it. I have a Matrox...

I am running Celestia on a PC with two monitors. If I display Celestia on the secondary monitor and then toggle into full screen mode, Celestia jumps onto the primary monitor. If I toggle out of full screen mode, it jumps back to the secondary monitor. Is this a feature? I would like to display in f...

Is it possible to toggle full screen display mode from a script command?

Is there a way to control Celestia from another program, (Windows platform)? I want to make Celestia respond to user inputs in an interactive learning environment. I can not see how you would do this with scripts. I am hoping there is an API or other automation method available. Thanks for any tips
