Celestia Forums

Thanks to everyone who has replied in ultra-quick fashion and supplied helpful information. I'm looking forward to implementing the suggestions and getting things working when I return to my home machine later today. The new Mercury models look to be outstanding.

Again, thanks to all.

Stupid question time. Been away for quite a while; I see many talking about Cel. 1.6 this and Cel. 1.6 that. I'm still moving stuff from v1.4 to v 1.5.1. Downloaded the new Mercury models (Freedom 7 and Friendship 7 courtesy of James Bassett and ElChristou) and can't get them to show up in v1.5.1. D...

The N1-Lune-Beta3 pack is a remarkable achievement. I like it !!!







Hi-Ho,

cs

Linuxm@n has contributed some outstanding addons representing the Russian space program (I am eagerly anticipating the new N1 pack). Regarding the U.S. program, we already have a wonderful Mercury capsule, and with this, current, project we will have some great Apollo hardware. In my humble opinion,...

Not easy but coming well... I'm sure that it is not easy. But you guys make it LOOK easy. I'm really looking forward to having such a nice 3D model. Thanks for showing us these work-in-progress shots; I myself am unskilled in such construction but somehow I derive some vicarious enjoyment seeing it...

....it would be cool to find some more hires doc of the Saturn, specialy the 3rd stage and specialy the 3rd's stage engine... I'm not sure if the quality of these is sufficient to meet your modelling needs, but here are some images showing the aft end of Douglas Aircraft's S-IVB and Rocketdyne's J-...

Another (also Apollo 7):



Hi-Ho

.... I would like a photo of the inner part of those panels to be sure the structure is like this (during assembly perhaps? How about this one - not during assembly; rather during the Apollo 7 mission, in which the crew simulated the transposition and docking exercise. The round, white disc inside ...

Here's a site that provides interesting details, with respect to the LM's Lunar Surface Sensing Probes: http://www.space1.com/Artifacts/Lunar_Module_Artifacts/Surface_Sensing_Probe/surface_sensing_probe.html Also some nice information and graphics here: http://apollomaniacs.web.infoseek.co.jp/apollo...

This is wonderful news; congratulations on the birth of your team. The rest of us will be the happy beneficiaries of your collective efforts. For those of us unable to contribute directly, it will be interesting to follow your progress here in the forums. Please continuce to post progress reports. H...

Thanks, John. No rush. The views achievable using Levels 0-4 are quite spectacular.

Level 5/ Part 4 of the normal map (file = VenusNormal_L5P4.zip) is no longer available?

YES, there is much interest (from here, anyway) in having both.
The more stuff you make, the better my Celestia is.
THANK YOU for everything you are contributing.
Now, get back to work ( )

This is a WONDERFUL add-on.

Can I ask, which surface textures for Earth are used here? I don't have any that show such nice bathymetry.

Thanks for all your work,

cs

linuxm@n, I think that this package is getting better and better. Thanks for continuing to offer updates.

cs

This series of models that you have kindly provided makes a great collection. Many thanks. The idea of shuttles with which to travel to-and-from Mars makes good sense, and would be a welcome addition. Are you still planning on making the variation suggested on page 6 of this thread (the spherical "r...

The "lite" version (same parameters as I listed above for the "heavy" version) gives me 42.5 FPS.

The new craft (the bit inspired by 2001) looks wonderful.

THANKS again.

cs

I LOVE it!

8.6 FPS on my system: CPU = P4 3.01 GHz / RAM = 1 GB PC3200 / video = GeForce 6800GS (256 MB) with 4X antialiasing enabled. Screen res = 1600x1200x32.

Thank you. Please make more.

I've been following the development of your creation here in the forums, and I would VERY MUCH enjoy seeing this outstanding model in Celestia. How/where can I get it?

Thank you and good afternoon,

cs

Thank you VERY MUCH for the new Voyager prerelease model; it looks OUTSTANDING.

I am especially looking forward to the new Vostok model. Please excuse my ignorance, but what (and when) is "CM opening"?

Hi-Ho,
