change go to speed / time without a script

Post #1by stayboogy » 08.12.2011, 05:34

I do not like the permanent go to speed of 5 seconds at max, and most of the time it is 3 seconds or less.

and i don't like having to run the script that changes the go to time.

i like to make spaceflight videos and the go to speed / time makes the program completely un-enjoyable. i love the engine, and i love some of the graphics, but the go to flight speed / time is annoying as hell, and not being able to adjust it to how i want it when i want it

can someone tell me if it is possible to adjust the go to speed / time with a key press only, or if there is a setting where it can be changed on the fly within the program? also, if this is not possible can someone tell me how to affix the script that i use to change the go to speed to a key, and maybe to have it toggle from certain speeds / times????

thank you in advance.

this is the script i use:

goto.celx

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

I don't know of any way to change that speed without using a CelX script.
However, you could make it part of Celestia's startup script so you don't have to run it manually.

A discussion about using a CelX startup script instead of the default CEL startup script is in the forum thread at viewtopic.php?f=3&t=11590
