SatPC32 CountDown can't show multiple passes from the same sat?
I just noticed this with two different sats. I got a screencap of it too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DK9IkhltFJ4
ISS is in view, and while it is in view CountDown doesn't show an upcoming 65 degree ISS pass that should be between SO-50 and AO-91 in the middle of CountDown. After ISS goes out of view the 65 degree pass pops up where I expect it to be the whole time.
Watch the local time at 20:23:38, about 10 seconds into the video.
Is there a setting to allow multiple passes from the same sat or is this a bug/feature request situation?

It would be nice to replace Countdown with WinAos, or at least make WinAos attach to the main window like Countdown does.

With satellites in range the program shows the time remaining until LOS. Run WinAos simultaneously with SatPC32, then you will get not only the next one but all passes for the specified period. 73s, Erich, DK1TB

Hi John,
It’s the way it works. No way to change that I know about. Think of it this way—it is showing the pass, now, but on the main screen. Next pass isn’t until the current one is over, so then it pops up and is visible.

It makes some sense.
What happened was I already identified a pass on ISS Detector on my phone and I wanted to keep track of it on my PC, so when I loaded SatPC32 up and didn't see it but CountDown had all the other same sats in the same order as ISS Detector, except the one I was interested in, I was a little confused.
I still don't see a problem with showing both/all passses! So I submit this as a Request For Enhancement :-)
