Locations List

Post #1by billybob884 » 23.12.2002, 21:50

has anyone noticed that when you add something to the locations list, it locks it at the time you add it? i.e., if you add one at 2:30, come back and open it at 6, it sets it back to 2:30. I'm not saying this is a bug, sometimes it is useful, i'm just saying it should be an option wether to "time lock" it or not when you go to add it.

I think this is intentional
As I use it to view my Apollo space craft that where only in orbit for a few days
So I set time to 1969 and added them to my locations
now i can view them without having to set time.

Also Locations, store the favorite exactly as you viewed it
(distance, rotation, date, time.....)
otherwise it wouldn't look the same the next time you view it

EG: if you saved an eclipse to the locations, the next time you view it,
it wouldn't be an eclipse.

But as you say, the option to lock it or not would be nice too.
