pre 4 bug report

Found another bug. When you go to Set Time it will set the time to 4 hrs before what you typed in.

That's probably not a bug . . . You're entering the time as UTC but are displaying the local time. Are you in the US Eastern Time Zone by any chance?

Found another bug: I set the coordinates to go to connecticut and its been going straight to the middle of the pacific ocean. It was even doing this when it was set to go to seattle. By the way, nice job on getting full screen to work right!

follow {}
select { object "Sol" }
lock {}
select { object "Sol/Earth" }
gotoloc { position [ -19100 0 0 ] time 0.1 yrot 90 }
wait { duration 0.1 }
follow {}
# goto { time 5 }
# gotolonglat { time 0 distance 1e11 longitude 0 latitude 0 }
gotolonglat { time 0 distance 2.5 longitude -83.9 latitude 42.1 }
