Hello,
I just registered, so I could ask this question. I would like to know if it is possible to create custom speed presets, and if so how. I am rather confused with the units used to determine speed when it starts to get to ' c '. I can understand 100,000 kilometers per second, but what is " 0.30 c " ? What is that speed in kilometers?
I'm asking this because I would like to have a "Speed of Light" preset which would literally be 300,000 kilometers per second, or at least the equivalent of it in " c ".
I opened the "user" configuration file and I see that part:
Code
// Velocity presets:
// 1 km/s = 3.240776488385780515715e-14
// 1 c = 9.715603492817815930547e-9
// 1 AU/s = 4.848136811095359935899e-6
// 1 pc/s = 1.0
Velocity00 3.240776488385780515715e-18 // 0.1 m/s
Velocity01 3.240776488385780515715e-17 // 1 m/s
Velocity02 3.240776488385780515715e-16 // 10 m/s
Velocity03 3.240776488385780515715e-15 // 100 m/s
Velocity04 3.240776488385780515715e-14 // 1 km/s
Velocity05 3.240776488385780515715e-13 // 10 km/s
Velocity06 3.240776488385780515715e-12 // 100 km/s
Velocity07 3.240776488385780515715e-11 // 1000 km/s
Velocity08 3.240776488385780515715e-10 // 10000 km/s
Velocity09 9.715603492817815930547e-9 // 1 c
Velocity10 9.715603492817815930547e-8 // 10 c
Velocity11 9.715603492817815930547e-7 // 100 c
Velocity12 4.848136811095359935899e-6 // 1 AU/s
Velocity13 4.848136811095359935899e-5 // 10 AU/s
Velocity14 4.848136811095359935899e-4 // 100 AU/s
Velocity15 4.848136811095359935899e-3 // 1000 AU/s
Velocity16 0.1 // 0.1 pc/s
Velocity17 1.0 // 1 pc/s
Velocity18 10.0 // 10 pc/s
Velocity19 100.0 // 100 pc/s
Velocity20 1000.0 // 1 kpc/s
Velocity21 10000.0 // 10 kpc/s
Velocity22 100000.0 // 100 kpc/s
Velocity23 1000000.0 // 1 Mpc/s
Velocity24 10000000.0 // 10 Mpc/s
Velocity25 100000000.0 // 100 Mpc/s
Is that where I would create a new preset?
I would like to do something like this (if possible?):
Code
Velocity08 3.240776488385780515715e-10 // 10000 km/s
[b]Velocity08b [number] // 300000 km/s[/b]
Velocity09 9.715603492817815930547e-9 // 1 c
The bold part is what I'd like to do (or something similar to it).
Also, is it possible to manually enter any specific speed? Without having to press the " - " or " + " keys, which increases (or decreases) speed in an uncontrolled manner.
Thank you for your time, and your support.
