SUMMARY
=======

When changing views in Space Simulator, planets may be displayed with no color.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Space Simulator unloads palette information for objects that are not currently
active in one of the views. However, when cycling through views, Space Simulator
may erroneously detect that a planet object is not currently active, and
therefore will not load the color palette for that object.

Toggling the current view to a new location and then back to the original view
may force Space Simulator to re-evaluate which objects are active, and reload
the palette information.

Additional query words: 1.00 Spacesim sim dos ss1 D_spacesim
