Satellite Bugs

[billybob884]

Ok, I found 2 bugs with satellites:

1) When you zoom to 0.000m, if you hold the "Home" buttom long enough you can zoom into the negatives.

2) You can't have a satelite orbit another satelite.

Oh, and lets not forget about the overlaping problem

What's wrong with that?
Although it doesn't seem to do it for me. Just how long did you hold down the 'Home' key?

2) You can't have a satelite orbit another satelite.

It works fine for me. I just quick cobbled something unrealistic to make Hubble go around the ISS. Turn up the timerate and it circles around the ISS just fine. Celestia doesn't draw the orbital paths, though. Is that what you mean?
