I think you'll like the following version even more: the speed overlay element remains visible for 2 seconds before disapearing when speed is nil:

Nice Vince, but this one as a small problem, when you start Celestia, the speed is displayed then disappear... That wasn't the case with you first script. And what about the fading? (No, kidding! :mrgreen:

)

Ah ah, you could solve this very easily by adding one single line at the beginning of the script. But I'll let you investigate this by yourself since you started kidding time... :roll:

Would you be kind enough to give me the first letter of this line? (I think I will need this little help... :lol:

)

No.
OK, since it's Xmas time, I'll tell you that the line to be added already appears somewhere in the script...

I cannot make my mind between

Code: Select all

end

or

Code: Select all

celestia:setoverlayelements{Velocity = false}

I've edited the script to add this line.

Yeah yeah yeah... but indeed was quite a challenge! Can I say I'm a coder now? :lol:

I kinda like seeing the "speedometer" - even if it is on zero. Like my car...if I stopped moving, I really wouldn't want my digital speedometer to fade out just because I wasn't moving.

It would make more sense if space was at a premium...

UPDATE: what I really miss is keeping the units consistent... jumping units that aren't 10X multiples like the metric system really blows the "now we're going 140,000 times the speed of light!!!" saying I'm going 20 AU's/sec doesn't quite have the same bang for the buck....
