Impulse Speed Please!

Post #1by Vertigo » 24.05.2007, 20:00

Is there a way to slow down my Interplanetary travel? I would like to approach the planets at a slower speed if possible. The kids would like to see the planet approaching instead of just zapping into place. :roll:

Thanks!

You can center a planet and then use the Speed commands (Fn1-Fn7, a,z,q,x) instead of the GoTo command.

More information is available in the Help/Controls menu (which displays the file controls.txt) and the Users Guide. The Users Guide, by Frank Gregorio, is available at
