Hello. I apologize if I will say nonsense. :oops: Many of us use very large textures, even up to 128k, modified with toofri's VLT splitting system, in order to load just the right level for the actual distance from the object, avoiding this way to load very huge files, loading just what needed at th...

Or, if I can give a suggestion, better models of important but neglected objects, e.g. the Skylab, that actually is really horrible in Celestia, or the Viking, same thing!
Just .

Thank you linuxman, I had 32K VT by HS, but never used before.

Added after 12 minutes 57 seconds:
I forgot to change my profile data, but recently I substituted the notebook, and this is my actual one.
Cannot wait to test it on your new ISS!

Hi linuxman, thank you for the cloudmap info.
May be it's Van Vliet's, and if it's so I think I have it somewhere in my HD or shows I made in the past years, I've to check it.
Bye soon.

Hi linuxman. Yes, thank you, I found them in youtube, and I can only say.... "Oh my God!". To say that your work is extraordinary means to diminish it, IMO, because everything looks like the real thing as seen many times in NASA/ESA/etc ISS movies. The movements are absolutely fluid, Robot...

Hi linuxman, welcome back to Celestia.
I cannot wait to test your new super-detailed ISS model, but I cannot reach your videos.
It asks me to open a new channel, I did it, but then how can I reach your videos?
Sorry to trouble, but it's all new stuff for me.

Sorry for the wrong message I posted, that was for Selden only, but I made some stupid mistake and that is.

Regarding Lafuente_Astronomy's suggestion, I like it, so I'll post my request there.
Thank you.
Goofy

"Hi all. I was writing a cel script to show Earth coordinates, and at a point I needed to switch ON/OFF two different Reference Marks, Sun direction and Terminator . But I found that cel scrips have no command line for this, while celx scripts have it! So I contacted Selden who very kindly foun...

Mars2020_rover.jpg Hi Toutatis. Is there any possibility thet you will realize the next Mars 2020 Mission Rover? Here a very nice movie showing clearly it https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/mission/rover/ It looks quite similar to Curiosity. Bye. Goofy :smile: Added later: I found a 3D model by emin312...

Thanks a lot, Janus, well done!

Green light from me, Janus, please upload the ready to run archive.
Thank you, appreciated.

Hi. About "real" Venus color, I suggest you to give a look at this long discussion about this, I think it will be interesting. https://celestia.space/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8116&hilit=venus+real+color Unfortunately images links are working no more :sad: Bye. Goofy :smile:

Hi Janus, don't worry, English is not my language too.
Yes, that's what I was asking for, thanks a lot, appreciated.
Bye

Hi Janus. Sorry for this, it's surely my fault, but I got lost among the lot of messages and updates here. :cry: So my request: could you please release the actually final and TOTAL version, including all the changes performed till now? This would be very appreciated by me, and surely by many other ...

Gironde, no problem at all. BTW, do you agree on what I said? Celestia knows exactly what is and where is the error, so why the error message is generic and doesn't point us to the wrong script line? I think that a solution to this nonsense could save us a lot of time, wasted to find errors in scrip...

...and a space between deg and { ? setfaintestautomag45deg { magnitude 8.5 }

Gironde, probably you didn't read my message #2, where I told exactly the same thing.
Goofy

Hi Anthony_B_Russo10. Sorry but without your addon I cannot check it. But your script is very short, so it will be easy to try this way: at half of the script put a new line with a single " } " This will stop the execution at that point. So launch the script and check if the error is still...

Hi Gironde, sorry for wrong addressing.
Anyway hope that Toutatis too will find something useful there.
Bye
Goofy

Hi Gironde. Probably you have already seen, but here http://parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/index.php#spacecraft are PSP Anti-Ram Facing View and Ram Facing View that look very detailed and realistic. And here http://parkersolarprobe.jhuapl.edu/Multimedia/Images.php#photos you can find both artist's ren...

OK Gironde, I understand, it was a misunderstanding due to the fact that English is not our Native language, so all is OK.
Bye and nice 3Ds!
