Search for large satellite constellations #33

Open rogvaivhorse opened 4 years ago

rogvaivhorse commented 4 years ago

When searching for example: "starlink", it doesn't display all satellites named "starlink". The only workaround found was to search by the International Designator, which will show all the satellites from a given launch. Yet, for displaying the entire constellation, I haven't found a workaround.

Does the group box have a maximum number of entries it will display?

200 max satellites. You can change this. 5 years ago I think most low end graphics would struggle to update the orbit buffers on so many objects. Its probably less of a concern now.
