Hi Croc.
Could you please share your Proton's ssc file?
Thanks a lot.

Hi Gironde.
Sorry but Curiosity body looks to be transparent, showing both rear wheel suspension systems.
Bye.

Hi Gironde and Toutatis, thank you both for the modified MAVEN.
Bye.

Hi Toutatis. About MAVEN, I had some doubt about the front solar panels color, shown golden in this #1 image from Celestia Origin last release: 1-MAVEN front in Celestia Origin.jpg and back solar panels color, shown flat silver in #2 image here: 2-MAVEN back in Celestia Origin.jpg so I made a search...

Hi Toutatis and Gironde. I'm appreciating a lot what you are doing with spacecraft models, very nice and precious job, but (there is aolways a "but", alas!) I find just a small defect in all of them: they look too much "new", just like kids new plastic toys. :weirdface: IMHO they...

Hi Toutatis. After checking a bit on Goddard pages, I found that the right solution is that it should not rotate. It's an imaging satellite, so it must be fixed along its orbit, not rotating, to obtain not-blurred exposures. So I think orientation shoud be 0, but I'm not sure at all. Ready to change...

Hi Toutatis. I just tested your TESS model, very nice, but it has a bit cahotic rotation. So I checked the ssc file, and I found that Orientation is "[ 250 1 0 0 ]" instead of "270 1 0 0" that produces a rotation around TESS longitudinal axis. What is the correct axis angle, 250 ...

Thank you, Toutatis, very appreciated.
Bye

Hi Toutatis.
Can you please upload TESS ssc file?
And, just curious, why this one is 3DS only while your previous one was cmod too?
Thanks a lot.
Goofy

You are welcome!

Hi Gurren Lagann and Danny Lorraine II. Just an opinion. I'm sincerely tired to read on many threads (why not only one?) questions regarding what is the bigger star and so on, or why xxx isn't in Celestia data. Well all the questions have been replied many times (with even too much patience, IMHO), ...

Thank you Janus, very kind.
If any need will show up I'll contact you, surely.
Anyway, I like it as is.
I'll follow future news from you.
Bye and thank you once again.

Hi Janus, thanks a lot for the quick reply. I have Win 7 Pro x64, and the "view" windows is like the second one. I tried the x64 version dated 180517, and now I have no more the buttos bar on top, can have the fullscreen, and again the possibility to choose the screen resolution. Moreoiver...

Hi Janus. No, nothing in the file menu bar "Render" window, and if I click Alt+R I can only read the actual texture resolution (Low-Medium-High), while in the 1.6.1 version it is correctly in the "Render" window. Can it be fixed? :help: And, I repeat, please can the toolbar be vi...

Hi. I made a check of the starting time for Celestia 1.6.1 as installed, and the 1.7.0-112818, both with no addons or extras. Here the results: 1.6.1: Earth shown in 8.53 seconds, 1.7.0: Earth shown in 13.24 seconds. A notable 55% starting time increase. Is it normal? Moreover I cannot find the scre...

Hi. I was comparing the 1.7 with the old 1.6.1 versions, and I have some doubts. In the attached images, showing the same image of the Moon, with same time, distance, FOV, surface luminosity (none for 161, cursor totally on left for 1.7), you can see the luminosity of them is very different. Provide...

Hi.
Where did you install Celestia i.6.1?
In C:\Program Files or in c:\root?
Many times it was suggested here to choose the second option, because for some strange reason the first one could give problems...
Just a thought...
Bye

Goofy

Yahoo, now it works, thanks a lot John 71, appreciated.
Bye.

Goofy

Sorry John 71, I'm a noob on this, but I wonder why it's not possible to make an installer containing all the needed stuff, I mean usable (only!) files from 1.6.1 plus the new files for 1.7. :help: I find actual 1.7 installation difficult and with problems, moreover. Any info, please? Thanks a lot. ...
