Does it play well with planetarium projectors?

Does it have any kind of UI for a , er, second screen, so you can input your destination or configuration off the proyector?

It's been several years since I've had access to a planetarium to test, but back around 2015 it had support for full-dome projection, though it wasn't bug-free. It may have improved, but planetariums have never made it very high on Vladimir's priority list for the program, at least back then. I think he could easily dominate that market if he went for it, with his only real competition being Uniview (http://www.scalingtheuniverse.com/)

If I remember correctly, I mapped many keyboard shortcuts to navigate quickly and without obstructing the view significantly. That said, it definitely took a lot of flying practice to not get me and the audience sick while shooting around the galaxy.
