Tracking / Following Question ...

[Dr Norman Bates]

Hello,

I'm in the process of enjoying the simulatated Voyager journeys using the available .xyz, ssc and texture files which I've downloaded. So far I still can't find a way of keeping the space craft in the field of view, while I have a planet (say Jupiter) centred and tracked. In other words, I can have one or the other but not both (without manually moving that is).
Does this make sense ? If so, is there in fact a way of keeping the space craft in the F.O.V while I scoot around a planet ?

Try this:

1 - Select the spacecraft
2 - Set Follow Mode (F)
3 - Orbit around the spacecraft with the mouse until the planet is in view
4 - Select the planet
5 - Set Lock mode (:)

Next Question:

So I'm locked on Jupiter, while following Voyager - everthing looks great ! "As I pass Jupiter, I want to change my view and lock on Saturn (while still following Voyager). Any ideas ?
