Celestia Forums

Hi everyone Jeam Tag, just after reading your message, I tried to connect to my website and it seems very much alive. I was also able to download all the models that have a link on my pages and I was also able to install it and make it run on Celestia version 1.3.1 pre 11, (by the way I have to say ...

Hi Thanks for providing this adress I didn't know. While watching to the Apollo photos I wondered if anyone would know where I could find videos of the Apollo missions ? I know there are lots of video tape you can buy, but I just would like to know if some can be downloaded for free (but legally...)...

Hi I'm sorry for the problem you've encountered with my add-on, that's right I made some mistake before releasing it, so once for all : Download the Starwars add-on from my website http://members.fortunecity.com/guilpain/ it is a modified version in which I added a readme which explains that the pla...

Hi everybody I recently made a major update of my Celestia website which is now fully translated in english thanks to CoreWarrior. You will found there http://members.fortunecity.com/guilpain everything you need to start making your own add-ons. I also added a new section where you can download all ...

Hi everybody You know Redwick that's funny you mention it because I've just been working on something like that recently, a kind of orbital station linked to the earth by a space elevator. I havent't finished modelling it yet so it will take me a few days before I can released it but you can already...

i thought about that and I did not write anything near the pole, just 40 degrees above and below the equator so that shouldn't be too distorted. And actually that is what I get when I look into Celestia with the png file exported from Photoshop, but as I said the problem is that some words are fine ...

Yes ortolan, I thought you might liked that ! In fact I used a java soft my brother is working on. It still needs some upgrade as I would like to be able to read other types of orbital data (so I could add into Celestia some of the asteroids data I just found) but I think I'm going to release it soo...

I just send to Bruckner three files containing data for satellites orbiting the earth and for comets. In the first file are all the orbital elements and the models for the Iridium and Globalstar constellations which means 129 satellites with low orbits. The second one gets the geostationary satellit...

Hi guys, I would like to have some advice in order to create a map of Mars that could replace the cloud texture (so you could leave it or not by pressing the 'I' key). I have just finished writing the name of the most important geological areas in Photoshop but I had problems exporting it into Celes...

Hi everybody, Does anyone know how to convert .tle files in order to make new .ssc ? As I wanted to add a satellite to the earth I tried copying the values of Inclination, Arg of Pericenter etc... directly in my .ssc file but it appears that the orbits weren't matching the one I obtained with Satspy...

I got a few suggestions in order to slightly improve celestia. First of all, the antialiasing of the contour of the planets would make them look a little bit more realistic and the shadow of Saturn on the rings would look better. Something great would also be to make the orbits smother when getting ...
