Sat32PC works great for me but I do have one question. I am finishing up my rotor control software that works with SatPC32 and need to know what happens with SatPC32 when there is a directly overhead pass if SatPC32 is set up with a 90 degree max for the elevation rotor. I have no idea how to set up some sat orbit elements to produce a directly overhead pass for testing. In fact, I am not sure I even want to know how unless it is very simple.
My best guess is that for example: If the current azimuth is 0 degrees and the current elevation is 89 degrees. If the next update would be azimuth 0 degrees and elevation 92 degrees I hope that SatPC32 would output azimuth 180 degrees and elevation 88 degrees as I believe this is the same heading. I know that in overhead passes the position is not critical but I would still like to know what SatPC32 does. If someone knows FOR SURE please let me know with a direct email as I no longer read the b-b postings. tnx and 73 W9KE _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
