Celestia Forums

Do I need a joystick for flying around in Celestia? I don?€™t know if its preferred method. To get off topic, It really (Celestia) is an amazing piece of Gadgetry, and I applaud the makers of it. But I think that they really should make a free and purchased version of this program, in order to bring more options to the consumer, and to make a but-load of cash for the creators of Celestia. (Huge potential, especially when we start getting detailed pictures of other planets from telescopes like the "Terrestrial Planet Finder". I am really into CAD (computer animated design), and there options id like to see in this program, I tend to get disoriented.

Keyboard shortcuts provide many more movement options than the joystick code does.

The people who work on Celestia have only a limited amount of time available to work on it. A paid version wouldn't change that.
