Re: Help !! Better card, 'old' MS opengl

Seldon, yes full acceleration is activated and all the appropriate drivers for the card appear to be there, including nvopengl.dll :o I'm really running out of options here. Is there anyway I can 'point' Celestia to the correct driver using a config file ?

Thanks Selden. I've re-installed my drivers from the NVIDIA website, rebooted the PC but unfortunatley still no joy. The OpenGL info under 'Help' in Celestia v 1.2.4 still points to the MS OpenGL driver v 1.1 :(

I've attempted t...

Better Moon Map...

The Apollo looks great. The only thing is I noticed while in orbit with Apollo close to the moon the lunar texture map looked real yucky. Is there a better moon map somewhere? As you know I can fix up anything. Vic I've got a 4k x 2k lunar map in DDS format that I used. It's in http://www.celestiap...

Cannot get Celestia v1.2.3 to 'fire up'

Hi, I guess it's the usual 'opengl' problem but I can't find a work around. The error message returned is: 'Celestia has caused an error in TRIDICDP.DLL' Have looked in 'glsetup' but unfortunately there's no match for my graphics card there. I'm not even sure how to find out what graphics card is in...
