SatPc32 question. New installation.
Under Setup/Options I have Center Map on Observer selected. But it is centered on and following the satellite instead. I'm running it as administrator and any options I change do show up after I quit and restart. I am restarting after I make changes.
I seem to be missing an option that makes it center on observer and stay there.

Why are you running as administrator? SatPC32 does not require elevated privileges. That may be an issue. -- Mark D.

Make sure you are using Zoom factor 1 "Z1" Window size W1-W3 on Z1 will center on the satellite selected, at least it does for me. W4 and W5 are locked to Z1, maybe to do with my screen resolution?

With Zoom 2 the map is always centered on the satellite to avoid that the footprint is outside the visible part of the map. 73s, Erich, DK1TB
