| Hi Sebastian, many thanks for this marvellous piece of software. Would it be possible to include display of multiple groundstations on the world map, including their coverage circles? | ||

| Orbitron is not commercial project, so I see time and hardware problems with that idea. Maybe receiving nice PDA from a sponsor could motivate me to do that ;) | ||

| Orbitron works fine under Linux with wine! Take a look on http://portal.ucpel.tche.br/py3vhq/orbitron-linux.png Thanks for Orbitron run ok on Linux | ||

| Peter: Reading co-ordinates from a GPS receiver is on "to do" list, but I have no idea when free time lets me do it. | ||

| Thank you very much about the program, I've learn so many thing from you. Once again, thank you my friend! | ||

| Very nice app. Is there plans to include a means of reading your position co-ordinates from a GPS receiver. | ||

| Sebastian, what about a "FAQ" with simple questions (who may have complicated answers) like "How can I setup a small telescope to view orbitron-tracked objects from my location" or "how can I set-up a reciving station for audio/video/telemetry/etc data from the satelites I can see" and so on? For me, everything is great and orbitron is a GREAT tool/toy. But I'm not fully aware of how satelites works, and I'd love to know more, but don't know how to ask/search. Congratulations for a great work and greetings from Brazil! | ||

| Terry, Please use 'Prediction' panel to generate visible passes using conditions from 'Prediction settings'... | ||
|
terry IP: 62.255.32.* | 2005-06-21 14:34 UTC Id: #350 | |
| Is there anyway to set up the programme so it can tell me what is due to be visible in my location? | ||
|
terry IP: 62.255.32.* | 2005-06-21 07:55 UTC Id: #349 | |
| Thanks Sebastian, seems that the UTC was running at 2.00 rather than the 1.00 for my location near London. All seems fine now, time for me to send a postcard. | ||

| If TLE data were the same, answer is one. Please make sure that time is synchronized on both machines and verify time zone information in Windows (clock properties). It could be that UTC shifts detected on both machines are different in case of wrong system settings. | ||

| I have downloaded your fine programme and have it running on two separate computers. To check the programme I had it running alongside wintrak which I already have. On my main pc which runs winxp it works great and shows the same info on screen as wintrak, However on my laptop which is also winxp the satellite is shown as being around 2000 miles further east than on my main pc. Both computers are running the same TLE file and both are set up the same, have you any ideas please as to what is happening. | ||

| Chris, your suspicion is good. Orbitron turns off captions displaying when too many objects are plotet in viewport. Please switch to 'Big radar' viewport to see details of sky situation. | ||

| Uploaded new version and then loaded classified (unofficial) TLE. Found that on radar screen on boottom right that the names of satellites won't show up if certain ones are checked. EG: Unknown, 040920,041002,041011,041026, NOSSO[E] and USA 39 are some that when checked "turnoff" the screen. On the other hand, maybe there were too many names showing up and the program defaulted. | ||

| Please compare Flares prediction from Orbitorn with one prepared at www.heavens-above.com - it could helps you. Orbitron operates on both: UTC and local (LCL) time, so please check what you have set. Range is distance between location and object. Good luck! | ||

| I'm having trouble and I'm sure it's me; I'm quite new with the program and am in awe of its completeness. I can't spot the flares. Prediction: Does the Time take Day-Light-Savings-Time into consideration? What is Range? Thanks for a great program and I will send a card the next time I go to town. | ||

| I am a scientist and your program is much better than ones requiring a large payment. Excellent job my friend, simply excellent! Dr. Dennis Chevalier | ||

| My mistake. I had checked "illumination required". I unchecked the box, now it is showing Hamsat predictions also. Thanx everybody and sorry for the trouble. | ||
|
ULHAS / email IP: 219.64.22.* | 2005-06-05 01:32 UTC Id: #339 | |
| Dear Marco Polo, I have checked Prediction setup and put in the setup from "Tracked" to "All".While it gives good results for all other sats, it does not predict Hamsat. Thanx for your reply anyway. | ||
|
MarcoPolo IP: 213.25.214.* | 2005-06-03 01:36 UTC Id: #338 | |
| ULHAS, Please check 'Prediction Setup' panel and revisit conditions, I think its the reason of problem... | ||

ULHAS / email IP: 219.64.22.* | 2005-06-02 21:37 UTC Id: #337 | |
| I downloaded the latest version3.53. Even while using .52 I was not able to get predictions for HAMSAT. I have tried tracking AO-27, ISS and HAMSAT. It gives me predictions for AO-27 and ISS,but not for HAMSAT. I stay in Mumbai(Bombay) India. | ||
