Time before year 1752

Post #1by MB » 21.03.2003, 09:39

Probably this problem was already treated in a previous thread, but I was not able to find it throught out the "search" item:
Trying to reproduce the " old" events reported in the Selden pages
I was not able to tune the date before 1752! That happens with any celestia version 1.25, 1.3, CVS...

It's a problem with the Windows interface. You can get around it by running time back quickly and then slowing down and stopping at the appropriate date, but it's a real pain.
Chris promised to take a look at it a while back - for my money, it's by far the most annoying defect in the Windows program interface, closely followed by the impossibility of entering a time in anything less than three stages.

It takes some of the fun out of tracking them down yourself, but I created another gallery page that has Cel:// URLs for most of the pictures. They'll show you almost the same views. (I had trouble getting to exactly the same places, myself!)

Thank you very much Grant and Selden. BTW it may be worth to include some warning in the "UsersGuide".
