Spacecraft speed

Hello,

I was just curious if there was a way to display the speed of a spacecraft in celestia with reference to the dominant gravity body, e.g. Earth for the ISS, the sun for Voyager, etc.

I can't see anything obvious - if there is a celx directive for this then that will be fine as I'm enjoying playing around with celx!

Thanks.

You can ask the devs about this.

That looks perfect as it's got the tangential speed - nice one and thank you!

He's actually a member now. He first joined the server before posting in the Forum. I just encouraged him to chat with us in the Discord, since he's there already
