Those Feature requests are related to Add-On management.

To allow further add-on improvements it is necessary to implement a unique add-on identification.

FR16 Add-on registration
To allow a correct add-on management it is necessary to collect some additional data about the various available file.

FR17 On-the-fly add-on management
To allow the management of the add-on loading/unloading at runtime.

FR18 Add-on repository
To allow a better system of sharing the add-on files a mechanism of repository should be implemented.

Finally I was able to upload another set of feature requests on my website.

Those Feature requests are related to Observer management

FR22 Mouse management
Not all the observer commands are mouse oriented, so often it is necessary to use the keyboard specially to roll the view.

FR23 Multirefence systems
To help the user to orient the observer should be useful to add other reference systems.

FR24 Observer views
Actually the front and rear views are implemented. More views should be useful.

FR25 Head Up Display
The current orientation of the observer is not displayed so some visual aids should be very useful.

FR26 Multiview schemes
Actually it is possible to split the current views freely. Should be useful to have pre-defined multiview schemes.

FR27 Collision detection
Is requested the capability of avoiding the travel trough the bodies when the user moves the observer.

FR28 Traveling
Is requested the capability of setting properties that Celestia uses for moving the observer when another destination is selected.

FR29 External cameras
Is requested the capability of setting and controlling a camera placed outside to the observer.

FR30 Schematic views
The possibility of having some simplified schematic views should be very useful.

FR31 Cameras on objects
The possibility of placing cameras on objects should be useful.

As usual you can submit your suggestions and comments in another thread, or you can submit your subscription sending me an e-mail drectly using the links in the web pages.

I have updated another set of Feature requests on my website.

I think that these one will be the latest for a while.
I'm starting to study C++ and OpenGL so I won't have so much time to update the Feature Requests section of my website.
BTW I've started a new section of the site with my programming tests.
If you are interested you can see Code tests;


Group 1

FR32 HTML Help
The capability to activate a help mode pressing a key combination. In this mode the various commands opens an HTML page in the default browser.

Group 6 Add-On and Scripts Management

FR33 In place editing
Is requested the capability to modify the data of the objects and of the bodies directly inside Celestia should be very useful.

FR34 Script recording
The creations of scripts should be much more easier if Celestia should record the user operations as Script commands.

FR35 URL through scripts
Is requested the capability of running CEL or CELX scripts using URLs.

FR36 Interactive scripts
Is requested the capability of interrupting the script execution waiting for user's input.

FR37 Multiview scripts
Is requested the capability of running CEL or CELX commands for multiview support.

As usual you can submit your suggestions and comments in another thread, or you can submit your subscription sending me an e-mail directly using the links in the web pages.
