Hello Everyone,

I am trying to do something that should be pretty easy for a lot of people (except me evidently). I have a satellite moving along a path over a map of the world. The orbit chages so there will multiple paths. I want the satellite to leave a single line trace which eventually fades away once the satellite gets to a certain point. I have searched and found things similar to this, and from this search I am concerned with processor usage. Does this sound like something anyone would like to help with?

Thanks in advance,

MH
