Applause!

You are one of very few, giving proper credit to the work of others. I wish I'd see more of this.

Well, the only thing I can take credit for is the camera angle. I'm just the cameraman. (...and it's not even my camera )

Here are some more screenshots I've taken. (probably similar to things seen hundreds of times before, but hopefully not too boring) Freedom 7 model by James R.

Yes... it's a fantastic model... puts my meagre effort in the trash...heh. My poor mac won't run it though...grrr. My poor Mac won't run it either. Linuxman's 2001 works fine (but slow), but if I try his ISS, Celestia just crashes. So I use your lovely model instead. Your "meagre effort" ...

I already tried this twice last month, using those instructions - but it didn't work. I get lots of "Command /Developer/usr/bin/gcc-4.0 failed with exit code 1 I take it that that mac of yours (I hope they won't cut off Mac PPC support.) is one of the OLD ibm ppc CPU's on the old mac9 or one o...

Unfortunately, Celestia development is in deep "coma" since quite a while. Patients suffering coma sometimes wake up spontaneously, sometimes they never wake up again. There are a number of concrete reasons for the present situation that I don't want to detail now. Celestia.Sci is NOT Cel...

By the way, when will the Celestia 1.7/2.0 be released? It's been a long time since the last version came out and not even progress report or something like that. Development is shrouded in mistery... Yes, I was wondering about this too. I've read about many enhancements Fridger was doing for "...

I'm using Celestia 1.6.1 on OSX 10.5.8 (PPC), dual 2.0GHz PowerMac G5, ATI X800 (256MB), 4GB RAM. I get consistent crashes using virtual textures. I've installed (the amazing addons!) jestr's Earth II and JohnVV's Moon, and I've found that after viewing a certain number of textures (by zooming or or...
