Lattitude/Longitude for standing on Earth's surface?

Post #1by Rick Starbuck » 28.04.2002, 07:20

It would be great to be able to "stand" on the Earth by typing in a lattitude/longitude pair. Is this possible?

You can!

If you go to the Navigation menu, and select "Goto object", you can type in the lat and long in there. If you want to stand on the surface of something just remember to put in a distance of say 0.1km

OK now I'm standing, but how do I turn my head to the heavens?

Type '*' and use the Up/Down, Left/Right Keys for corrections.
Do not forget to use some sort of tracking otherwise you will not remain on altitude = 0;-)
