Help for Celestia on my laptop

Post #1by Crystalmir » 15.09.2008, 23:13

I recently got a new laptop (a mac if this makes a difference) and put Celestia. I haven't used Celestia in several years and previously only on a desktop and now am having some problems moving around. Is there anyway that when I am looking at a planet I can rotate it to see the back or that I can rotate the solar system to be able to show the orbits of all the planets? I seem to remember being able to do this. Thanks a bunch.

To rotate a selected object, ALT-click and drag across the mousepad. All the rest is conveniently listed in Celestia?s Help menu...

And use two-finger scrolling (switch-on-able in the Trackpad prefs in System Preferences) to change the distance from the selected object.
