Celestia 1.32 on Windows XP SP2 orbit problem

Post #1by Saabster » 09.09.2004, 00:28

Hi all,

I think Celestia has has gone pre-Copurnican on us. When I zoom out to view the orbit of the planets around the Sun, all the planets move except Earth. It stays stedy as a rock and everything else moves.

I'm sure it is just a setting I made, but I can't seem to figure out how to get it back to normal.

Help please.

Celestia v1.3.2 starts with Earth selected in Follow mode. That results in a pre-Copernican viewpoint!

To display a Copernican viewpoint, Select Sol and Follow it: type the two (lower case) letters H F
