Known bugs

Objects may appear degraded or not appear at all when zoomed. Orbiter bug - fixed by pressing F1 twice.

Vessels and bases on very high zoom becomes partially transparent, like gears sticking through the vessel. Z-buffer limit, nearly unfixable.

On very high zoom the panning/focusing becomes jittered. FP accuracy limit, nearly unfixable.
