Where is Tour Guide?

Post #1by naturetalk » 11.11.2009, 17:36

Hi, thanks for Celestia, looks excellent!

I'm using Mac version.

The ReadMe references the Tour Guide, which is supposed to be found in the Navigation menu. I can't find either.

Will be grateful for suggestions, thanks!

Hmm...

The user guide says...

Celestia has a complete menu at the top of the program dedicated to space navigation that you can use often. Some of the choices are single commands (e.g. – Select Sol). Others open dialog boxes that give you some choices to make, or ask for some input. Most of the menu choices have keyboard shortcuts. Pull down the Navigation menu and you will see ...

I apologize for being dense, but I simply can't find anything called Navigation menu. I'm using version 1.6 for Mac.

"Complete menu at the top of the program"? Where?

In the window where you view the planets etc? In the drop down menus at very top of screen? Available only in Windows apps?

The tour guide opens a pulldown list of a few of the more interesting objects you can visit in Celestia. Select the “Tour guide” option in the Navigation menu to bring up the guide window, choose a destination by clicking on the pulldown arrow and select from the list, click the “Go To” button, and click OK to close the window. You're off. We urge you to visit some of these stops on the tour.

Because I can't find navigation menu, I can't find Tour Guide either.

45 folks have been kind enough to read my post, and none of them know where these things are either?

Thank you much!
