What's next

I now need to leave the to go back to my secret lab. the galactic map is far from perfect and needs quick changes.

Here is a little list of what is in my tortured brain :

• First of all and easy to do : change the way buttons are set, add the "next page " button useful for info pages, thanks for nulentout for the excellent advice.
• Centre on planet and align with a different item (my orbit for instance) :
  Important point because I use always half of the screen by centring on the main object. I need a more accurate way to centre object that depends on the auto-scale.
• auto-hide and show menu + animation when disappear. (almost done but bugs should be corrected)
• auto-scale with a optional period. Today when you chose a scale, it s set once. if the distance changes it isn't auto-updated.
• show bases and pads : very important point and also last in my list because it will need new features in my object selection.
• show orbit elements for other orbit than current vessel.
• And last but not least add a target object (perhaps remove the look at feature and replace it with "target to"). This target will have a new pages with information relative to current vessel (distance....) the target will have a different colour to to be visible differently.

Next release should have :

• a new feature dealing with time (see the future).... exactly like TransX. not a big deal in fact. I'll add the availability to see your position at a future time and perhaps to see what should happen if I change my speed at this time. Doing that I will put my foot into TransX's and IMFD's garden. but a tiny little step

But Before, I need to correct bugs like :

• The autohide menu trouble when back to manual zoom and rotate.
• A better way to get manuel rotate and zoom keys (continuous way to change it and not only when key is release)

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. It's an awesome addon.
