I was wondering if anybody here is willing to make a simple module or MFD that automatically exports the x,y,z co-ordinates of a spacecraft, and the MJD date they were exported, to a file. The interval of exporting the co-ordinates and date could either be down every x-number of seconds, or when the path of the spacecraft changes by x-number of degrees.

A module/MFD like this would allow people to record their journeys/missions, and replay them in something like Celestia.

Did you try looking at the playback streams? You can record them also...

Wow, I wish I took a closer look at this feature before (I thought it only saved scenario files). From this I should be able to make a program myself that converts the .pos files to a Celestia .xyz file, and it shouldn't be too difficult. Thanks!
