Hello I have two questions about this wonderful software:
- When I am in mode "following" for exemple Earth, how can I disable this mode to start a travel? (without "go to" function, I'd like to do a free travel)
- When I use go to function, I think there is a default time of the travel, for exemple 5 seconds to go everywhere. Is there any possibility to change this value?
Thanks
Fabio

Fabio,
You can do what you wish to do, but you need to learn either CELX or CEL scripting in
order to write scripts to change the goto speed. I *think* that this is the only option,
but I could be wrong. One of the other geniuses around here can help with this topic
I'm sure.
Thanks, Brain-Dead

Re: following / speed of "go to"
You can do "free flight" at any time the follow mode is activated by using the "A" (speed up), "Z" (slow down) and F1 (stop) keys in conjunction with the arrow keys.zucco wrote:- When I am in mode "following" for exemple Earth, how can I disable this mode to start a travel?

The following is an example of a script which replicates the GOTO key using 30 seconds instead of the standard 5 secs. Save this text into a file called "goto.celx" in the scripts folder -- you can then run it from the file->scripts menu instead of pressing the G key.zucco wrote:- When I use go to function, I think there is a default time of the travel, for exemple 5 seconds to go everywhere.

Code: Select all
traveltime =30
target = celestia:getselection()
obs = celestia:getobserver()
obs:goto( target, traveltime )

Re: following / speed of "go to"
Fabio,
to leave the "Follow" mode (as well as "Chase" or "Sync orbit", whatever you are using), just press the ESC key. You are then in free flight mode.
You may also want to look at the list of controls in the Celestia help menu.
Regards
Andy
