Please help the noob

OK. Generating a star sector 20 LY cubed takes a really long time, even on a dual-core processor. To cut down on this time, I told the program to only generate star types and names. I still got a boatload of data, but it didn't take forever to generate.

Now, what I want to know is, is there a way to make Astro-Synthesis show only the "Class G" (Yellow) stars that were generated? I want to generate data for those systems, since it is unlikely people will be visiting uninhabitable systems.

Thanks for your help.

    How long is it taking? 20 ly shouldnt take much time at all. I just created a 20ly cube on my 10 year old testing machine, and it took about 30 seconds at a normal density, and 2 minutes for the highest density. On a more recent machine, it took 5 seconds.

    You cant filter using the star's spectral type in the interface. You'd have to make a script to do that.

    :oops: Yeah, I finally figured that out. After 5 seconds, I got a grey screen followed by the message "This program has stopped responding."

    I waited for a while, and the program finished the calculations. Vista! :evil:
