the other day i was thinking....
specially now that i'm beggining to venture to locations further than the moon, i was cogitating the creation of a module that adds a few more info to the F9 feature....
what i though was simply to have it show the orbital rings of every planet around the sun, and those of their moons around themselves....
that in a way that could be zoomed out and provide a visually-rich situation overview of the solar system... right now, as you zoom out, the markers which are further will hide, and you can't really see all at once.... :dry:
so i reckon it would be very very cool to have a special mode in which you can visualize orbital paths (perhaps for your vessel as well)...
this would add tremendously to situational awareness... and would be quite a treat for interplanetary cadets such as myself :thumbup:
anyways... i'm somewhat confident i could just as well pull this off myself... yet i'm a bit short of ideas on how to start...
how could one draw things (lines, mostly) directly into the main Orbiter display?
can i get any *pointers?
