the CD-ROM check and to prevent the intro from playing. So
don't remove the startup parameters in the startup files.
In debug mode you will see a lot of debug info in the camera
views.

The DEMO contains 4 space regions, EARTH, MOON, JUPITER and SYGAN
containing 3 PLANETS and 3 MOONS. You can go to MOON and
JUPITER from EARTH via jumpgates and to SYGAN from JUPITER
via a wormhole. You can also enter all the planets and moons
