John Click MY COMPUTER then C (OS) then PROGRAM FILES then ORBITRON then TLE then noaa and edit that file and click SAVE. You will need to do that every time you update your KEPS.

Hi John, G7HIA when you are in simulation mode, over the clock (on the right of Orbitron page) you have AUTO-FWD, if you clik on this , it changes in AUTO-BCK (the simulation go back in the past), if you click again, it changes in AUTO-OFF and the simulation stops.

I find the simulation feature is very useful but I can't find out how to pause it. Does anyone have the required key strokes, or is that feature not included in the software.

[amsat-bb] Re: Orbitron Help
The 'Toolbox' Icon that can be found on Orbitron's Main tab, leads to a further set of tabs. One of them is called Miscellaneous. The bottom right hand panel of the Miscellaneous tab allows you to set the directory that will be used for element sets. If you also tick the box marked Personal TLE directory, it will automatically store Spacetrack, Celestrak, element sets there too rather than under the Orbitron directory in Windows/Program Files. The directory you choose can be anywhere you choose such as under My Documents or the equivalent in later Windows versions. Bob Christy ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org.

[amsat-bb] Re: Orbitron help
I've never had a problem with Orbitron. It just works! Just did an update from Celestrack although it's not the service I normally use. I recommend that you register with Space-Track and set up a favourites list of just the satellites that you're interested in.

[amsat-bb] Re: Orbitron help
Hi Jerry, I don't think Vista likes things written to ProgramFiles/Orbitron/TLE. There is a section in the Orbitron help about setting directory paths that might apply. I'm no Window expert, I just switched to XP, so I'm a few years behind the curve.

[amsat-bb] Re: Orbitron help
This problem, in my experience, was caused by Vista's User Account Control not allowing Orbitron to write any new data to the hard drive. There are two ways to solve this: 1. Run Orbitron as Administrator (right click on the icon - Run as Administrator) 2. Disable User Account Control. This can be done by going to the Control Panel, then User Accounts, and somewhere in there (I do not remember exactly since all my boxes run Windows 7 now) there is a checkbox that will allow you to turn UAC off. Reboot the computer after disabling UAC for the changes to take effect. Hope this helps. 73, Sam KC2LRC ___ Sent via amsat...@amsat.org. Opinions expressed are those of the author.

Perhaps that's why I've never had the problem. With only one user, I don't need user accounts. On 05-Feb-10 21:32, Sam KC2LRC wrote: 2. Disable User Account Control.
