How to hide planets orbits in the tracking station

[LankyThumbs]

I'm looking for a way to turn off the orbits of the planets, and possibly the little round market overlay on each planet.

Would this have something to do with MapView.orbitLinesMaterial or am I barking up the wrong tree?

To be honest, I haven't touched the API at all yet. Just had a skim through the documentation.

You shouldn't be touching the MapView.orbitLinesMaterial because it's the global material for ALL orbits.

Instead, you should do this:

In the Planetarium.fetch variable (or .Instance, not sure) there's a property called Orbits. You can iterate through this and find the orbits of the planets you want to hide. You shouldn't outright disable the orbits, because then they won't be updated, and the planets you disable won't move, or just disappear, instead you should try messing with the OrbitRenderer (might be just Renderer) field of the orbit, and set the drawMode field to DrawMode.OFF, or something along those lines. There are many values in the OrbitRenderer and OrbitDriver classes that look like they disable or hide the orbit, but this is the only one I've found that actually works without glitchieness.

Might be some errors in there, I'll update this post when I get home and can look at the assembly browser in my IDE.

Even better : CelestialBody implements IDiscoverable. So loop the bodies and for each call :

body.DiscoveryInfo.SetLevel(DiscoveryLevels.None);

Play with the value to get the result you want. None hides the planet, Presence should just show that something is here, StateVector shows the orbit, etc ...
