Orbit displays

[smbika]

Hi,

This queston was probably asked a long time ago but i wondered why the display of orbits does not include wrapping around the planet or moon or star the orbit encompasses - they all stop at the edge of the center object unless looking straight down the z axis of the orbit...probably an openGL issue but it would be cool to see them completely wrap around the target body...

Thanks,
Sean

It's a result of the simple method used by the current version of Celestia to draw orbit paths. There is reason to hope that it might be improved in the next major release of Celestia after v1.3.2.
