Re: AI coding help for Celestia?

I was able to ask the AI deepseek coder v2 on my PC to analyze the winmain.cpp file. The 41231 tokens code was analyzed in little over 10 minutes. It replied this: The code provided is a Windows front-end for the Celestia application, written in C++. It handles initialization, window creation, OpenG...

Re: AI coding help for Celestia?

You should try them. They are fun too. I was able to get a working Python script on my first try just by describing it with logical sentences. OK, it is true, you have to be very precise, but the AI wrote 3 pages of code just by using my sentences. ChatGPT4o is the best. Also you can use AIs on simp...

AI coding help for Celestia?

ChatGPT, Claude and other AI tools can create almost any code using simple sentences as instructions.

AI can search for errors in the code.

Are the developers of Celestia using this free method to speed up the process?

That's true. That is why I used visible light images for VT layers at 16k, 32k and 64k. THEMIS is perfectly in sync with them at 128k and 256k and THEMIS can show unbelievable details.

But it has a 100 meter resolution so if you want real details there is no other data source.

Re: Celestia 1.7.0 windows installer

OK. Now I can prove, that it is a software bug:

fps-1.png


60 fps when there are not too many objects around.

fps-2.png


Fps drops dramatically when there are planetary rings around (but why?).

fps-3.png


Fps literally dies when the planet feature is on.

Re: Celestia 1.7.0 windows installer

Qt is slow for many others, so there must be a reason. Maybe more cpu resources. Gpu resources, whatever. That's a good lead. Celestia 1.6.2.2 consumes 15-25% of the GPU resources. Celestia 1.7 win32 is between 15-30%. But Celestia Qt can reach 40%. And where? At Mars, when the fps is very low. But...

If he already has one it may be failing. So my PC's power supply is failing at Celestia Qt, but it is not failing at Celestia win32? Not likely. As for system settings, I have the computer's power management set to "performance" mode. Thanks for the tips. The problem is that Celestia Qt C...

Quite the opposite: every unnecessary file was purged by Bleachbit after I deleted every Celestia folder.

I just purged all unnecessary registry data and uninstalled all Celestia versions a few weeks ago.

AND after that I installed your exe file.
