Celestia Forums

Hi all,

when I display a spacecraft in Celestia, it's usefull to display its axis. So I made a 3-axis 3ds model which has the same ssc definition.

When using ScriptedOrbit, I use a hack to toggle display of these axis. A command set axis OFF : axis body is located at earth center (not visible). Axis ON makes axis at spacecraft location.

It would be very usefull to have a lua command like object.display( OFF ) to avoid this hack.

Is this possible and scheduled?

I'm also asking for "layers" in Celestia, to display various kind of custom classes of objects : coordinates grids, magnetic field lines, etc, with some keyboard shortcuts. It's in my "wishes list".

Yes, this feature is planned for the near future. There will be the ability to turn off individual objects as well as whole classes of objects.
