System Map again

I've work a little inside the map's code and now the system map is more usable.

• You can see the Sun! In the previous video it was missing ;)
• Every moon now is displayed with it's own orbit (in the video, you can see our moon)
• Now there's also your ship position showed.
• With the mouse wheel you can zoom in/out the map, with the right button you can rotate it, and with the left button you can translate your view position inside the map.
• The map has his own GUI, for now only + and - button. When you switch from cockpit view to map view, also the GUI switches.
• Planets are smaller than into the previous video.

Next step is to made the map interactive: when you left click on a planet, the camera points on it and the target for autopilot is setted.

Ok dude, i'm starting to work to the system map. Solar system is huge, and it's easy to lost in. I cannot display on hud all the planets because tere's a lot (moons, asteroids and so on..) so it will be a mess.
Solution: if you want to drive until "Callisto" (i.e.): open the map, select it and then activate the autopilot!
It's just the beginning but you can see now the orbits, the planets, and a different background. You can switch from map to cockpit with a gui button.
