Thank for your Reply Master Harbinger Dawn.
Are you sure about the motion blur trail length.
I have just gone through a computer upgrade to clean things up a bit.
My old computer had the steam version installed, I check in on space engine every once in a while.
It was definately available on the computer I had it set to do so when traveling around.
I have linked a video here by some one showing the exact effect I don't recall having to use the console to set this feature.
I thought it was in settings under visual styles or graphics.
Thanks again for you help from Australia.
Also would it help if I posted a note somewhere for the developer to know about the velocity vector bug if it is one being unavailable in flight simulator mode?
