(1) UrukFSP has now 4 color theme selectable by Preference Menu => General.
(2) Stereo-graphic Earth Map may have some new color combinations.
(3) Comets and Asteroids Grids can be simplified by excluding columns containing orbital data.
(4) MAIN WINDOW – “NOW” button has been moved close to “Input Date” and “Input Location” Buttons.
(5) Longitude and Latitude boxes don’t update position on the map until the “GO” button is pressed.
(6) DeltaT experimental curve UK24B2 upgraded to UK24C2.
(7) Tools Menu splitted into Tools [1] and Tools [2]. We have 23 calculation tools so far. Rising and Setting of Planets and brightest stars have been moved from Ephemeris Menu to Tools [2] menu.
(8) Tools 03 and 09 mixed into new 03 Tool. Computing equinoxes or solstices and “go to” functions are now accessible from one single window.
If a Horizon Profile is loaded, azimuth of sunrise/sunset are computed for dipped horizon and visible horizon (obscured by mountains). “Go to” functions take into account of mountains too.
(9) Flattening and reddening of solar /lunar disk nearby the horizon now managed.
(10) HORIZON PROFILE WINDOW : the scale of the horizon profile line can now be changed by means a slider.
(11) I have to confess that I’ve never liked radio-buttons. Usually when a choice between multiple elements is needed the so-called radio-buttons are there. Actually I do prefer pressable buttons, with the selected one lit green. Button panels belong to real life. So, radio-buttons will disappears from UrukFSP, replaced by button panels.
(12) Some enhancement to the “Heliacal Events” Tool [16].
Kv value is now editable inside this tool and an approximate value of Sun Altitude below the Horizon needed for star’s visibility is present. Use it with caution because there are many variables at play and making a specific prediction is not at all easy.
