Hey Chris, is there a way that you can add a real quick System Reload (Refresh) / Planet Reload (Refresh) option, in the next release of Celestia. This would make developing systems a lot easier if I don’t have to reload Celestia every time I make changes to my system files. I don’t know how difficult it would be, but I don’t see it being that difficult.

Thanks

Also I found this link to some cool math formulas for various objects

This would be a worthwhile feature . . . Reloading all solar systems is pretty easy to implement. Making it possible to just reload a single planet would require considerably more work, so I'll probably just implement full reload.

Hotkey CTRL + F5 Yes I agree the refresh option would be excellent!

Good enoough for me!

I'm have only started using recently, but I have found a very high prestige opportuntiy for Celestia which would require and command to refresh <every x seconds>.
