Hi Oni

Hi There, glad you enjoyed it. Positioning the impact remnants on the surface should not be to much of a problem for those with versions later than 1.3.1 using the longlat command to draw the impacts, the tricky part is to get the co-ordinates right. Not sure how you do that? Venussurface.jpg should...

The trick here is to set up your initial view at approx. 2mil km with Jupiter and the 4 comet fragments (with tails) filli...

I found that the longlat command does not appear to work in 1.3.1 for positioning of the impacts so i modified the original code and placed the impacts on the same xyz orbit as the corresponding comet with. Comet sizes have been increased in size for visual effect and explosions times have been over...
