I timed how long the startup takes today when loaded from my external drive. In the end, it took about 12 minutes.

I have this installed on an external hard drive, but I've noticed that it takes over 30 minutes, if not longer to start up. Does this have to do with the speed of the drive?

Anyway, the only reason why I want to change the options is because I don't want to be notified every time there's a new post in the Add-on Releases section.

A screenshot of the error, if it's any help at all.

For a while now, I've been unable to change my notification options in the user control panel. It just returns an HTTP 500 error. This happened on the old domain as well. Will this get fixed soon?

At long last!

I'm sure this was worth the wait; I'll get it downloaded soon. Seems I picked the right time to return!

Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been here in a few months. I thought it was taking an unusually long time for the site to come back and gave up hope after a few weeks. Didn't realize that the site and forum moved to a new domain. Anyway, good to see that a lot of progress has been made with the addons...

Does this mean that version 1.6.2 will no longer be supported?

Here are the missing names for Saturn's moons that weren't in the current update: Gridr (Saturn LIV/S/2004 S 20) Eggther (Saturn LIX/S/2004 S 27) Angrboda (Saturn LV/S/2004 S 22) Beli (Saturn LXI/S/2004 S 30) Gerd (Saturn LVII/S/2004 S 25) Gunnlod (Saturn LXII/S/2004 S 32) Skrymir (Saturn LVI/S/2004...

There were some new names on Wikipedia that I hadn't noticed in the current version, but maybe they've been added already. I do at least hope though that Didymos and Dimorphos will be updated.

There are a few things that I've been wondering about in terms of their inclusion, such as Elektra's third satellite and the many new names of moons of Jupiter and Saturn. Edit: Nevermind, it looks like Elektra's third moon has already been added, but I know that a few months ago some Jovian and Sat...

I'm pretty sure the program would significantly slow down even if there was no overflow issue.

I assume that the addition of XYZV trajectories is to make the orbits of planets and moons more accurate, is that correct?

Didymos looks similar to Bennu if you ask me. Very cool that we finally got to see an asteroid moon up close!

Ok, thanks for being so cooperative. I've been slowly finding my way again with the program.

I have one more question. How do I get 67P's moonlet to appear?

Ah, I see then. Also, the program runs perfectly! I'm having no performance issues at all, and remember that this is being run with the highest quality textures. I can provide my specs if needed. Can someone help me out? I got a fresh install of Celestia with Celestia Origin installed, but I can't r...

Ah, okay thanks. I got a new PC 2 years ago that's far more powerful than my old one, and since I actually have admin rights, I could install normally with the batch files. I have yet to try it out but I got the highest quality textures so I'll provide an update when I can. Can you also define traje...

Decided to reinstall Celestia again for the first time in years. Have there been any new releases for this project this year and has the installation method changed? Thanks.

Another thing I found was that back in August 2020 Celestia Motherlode went down and it's back up now but uploading add-ons has been disabled. I know that some of you probably already know this but I didn't know this beforehand since it happened while I was gone.
