Lua Edu Tools allows you to expand and add new functions and commands.
For teachers and teachers is a huge opportunity to create entertaining lessons on astronomy and
interesting trips as part of the program Celestia.
There is also the option to enable the display of the cockpit,
simulating dashboard NASA space shuttle with a view through the front window.
This creates a complete environment that you are in the board the spacecraft, and gives the user an unforgettable
experience when traveling through the universe Celestia.

This is a plug-in for both Vincent's Lua_plug-ins and Lua Edu Tools,
http://celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=134285#p134285You can even use this plug-in with Lua Edu Tools when the Lua Edu Tools toolbox is hidden.
The manoeuvre tool works fine with the multipanel cockpit tool but is independent of it.
You can use it even if you have no cockpit.
Manoeuvre tool commands:
A, B, C : 3 groups of arrows to perform rotations and displacements.
A : rotation arrows. These arrows initiate a rotation (yaw, pitch and roll).
By default, the rotation is 90°. If you click several times on the same arrow, the rotations are added. e. g. if you click quickly 4 times, the rotation is 360° without a stop between the rotations.
The center button stops the rotation. clicking again on this button resumes the required rotation.
B, C ) displacements. You can move in only one direction at a time. i.e. you can't move simultaneously forward and to the right or upward and to the left.
By cons, you can perform a rotation and a displacement at the same time.
The red buttons stop the displacement (whatever the direction).
Pressing again one of these red buttons resumes the displacement.
By default the required distance is not limited.
The movement is relative to the current view, not necessarily the direction of the spaceship.
As for the [w] key, the initial speed is determined by the distance of the reference object.
Orange arrows: forward and backward movements
Blue arrows: left, right, up and down movements.
Red octagons: stop/resume movement
