I get some flickering and color banding now (the video compression make it worse than it actually is) ---

Hey crashmaster, thanks, I will try and look into that. Got this weird error, any idea? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/a/b/ab9786e7b68a3afeebd9b70c07e6cbc1161b8190.png) I think this might be due to the floating origin camera inheriting from FlyCamera. Making it inherit from UniversalCamera removes that error. @Deltakosh maybe? 🙂 ---

I don’t have much experience on cameras beyond the FreeCamera and ArcRotateCamera unfortunately, this would need a PG reproduction 😕 ---

Ok I don’t like what I did but this: ```auto class OriginCamera extends BABYLON.FlyCamera { constructor(name, position, scene) { super(name, BABYLON.Vector3.Zero(), scene); // start horrible hack this.inputs.attached.mouse._element = canvas; // end horrible hack ``` seems to fix it. ---

ok now stars can be picked and display stuff similar to what can be found in the data explorer ([Ad Lumens - Data explorer](https://adlumens.org/data-explorer/)). ---

Now satellites (==planets) can be viewed (they are an ugly grey for now!) and you get the details from them. 🙂 Am writing some blurb explaining the necessary changes related to this improvement. ---

`camera.attachControl(true);` and you are good 🙂 ---

hey thank @roland. I had done that, otherwise camera would’ve been a no go 🙂 I read somewhere that the flycamera hasn’t been upgarded in a while? Could that be related? ---

The `FlyCamera` doesn’t support HTML element based input (when you move the camera by holding the left mouse button you can’t distinguish on which element you pressed the mouse button - this type of camera doesn’t need this feature) I created a PR to fix the issue: > > > https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/procedural-galaxy-and-streaming/51468/22 ---

ok so related to an old post of mine ([Spherical coordinates / orbits - #5 by CrashMaster](https://forum.babylonjs.com/t/spherical-coordinates-orbits/46568/5)) the planets are now placed where they should be along their respective orbits. Coming up (I hope) is … movement 😛 ---

Before movement, starting to apply a bit more material: planets are now lit by their stars. They are small, hunt for them! 😁 I need to find a way to highlight them… ---

another update probably coming online tonight, in spite of a major problem: moons & rings. still no texture or movement, though… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/b/f/bf88ac0378eae77e4362bc9736d8dbc306dfd3af.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex024/uploads/babylonjs/original/3X/b/2/b2b163a17a5881a388918770b8767cf0d14cb850.jpeg) the “debug” are for dumping useful stuff to the console on local 😃 the major problem: precision. I will try to explain what the problem is one of those posts… ---

Precision is always the big hurdle for space scenes, do you use floating origin? ---

I do use it, yeah. But only “one layer” deep. So my problem is the following: . systems (and so stars) are origin entities . stars are instances, children of systems . planets are transform nodes, as children of systems . satellites/rings are transform nodes, children of planets It all works nicely, until the coordinates _inside_ and origin entity starts to suffer from precision loss. It’s especially apparent for: . planets far away from the OE origin . moons far away from planet origin Any idea on how to improvce this?
