Celestia Forums

Windows version 1.3.1pre9.

* When using the "Goto Object" option in the Navigation menu, Celestia automatically applies the Sync Orbit coordinate system.

* When using the "g" key on the keyboard to execute a goto command, Celestia automatically applies the Follow coordinate system.

* When using the goto or gotolonglat commands in .cel scripting, Celestia does not set or change the current coordinate system -- the previously set coordinate system remains set -- and it does correctly change the object to the new object. However if Lock is currently set, the result is incorrect: "Lock <new object> - <blank>".

* When using the gotoloc command in .cel scripting, Celestia does not set or change the current coordinate system -- the previously set coordinate system remains set, and it does not change the object from old to new either!. The old object name remains, for example, Follow Earth, Select Venus, gotoloc Venus results in "Follow Earth".

It would be nice to have all of the goto commands function in the same manner.

* Goto Object (Navigation menu) sets the coordinate system to Sync Orbit regardless of how it was set previously.

* Keyboard 'g' key does NOT change the existing coordinate system, unless it is Free/Universal. In this case it changes it to Follow. Also, if the previous system was Lock, the new system is in error "Lock <new object> - <blank>".
