Thank you for response, I'll look into it.
And pardon the delay in mine but I was locked out of the board due to changing my email address and the time it took to reactivate my access here )

and do run as administrator BTW. on Win7 that is NOT a good idea --- OK, thanks for the info. This run-as-administrator thing can be irritating though I understand why MS created it to protect systems from ever-craftier worms, trojans, etc. i DO NOT use win 7 , but i do have a bootleg copy i use fo...

It looks like I've been absent here for 5+ years due to other life priorities, so please pardon my rusty state of mind on things Celestia. To recap my use and knowledge of Celestia, I'm an end-user, not a programmer and have used it simply for creating "beauty pass" sequences of Earth for ...

Hi Selden, Thanks for reply. I've got some OS problem right now and am working off backup drive so can't deal with this much right now. But if I understand you correctly, then if I'd want these desired textures to work within my second and only AltSurface (the BMNG folder you can see at the very bot...

Uh, it dawned on me that we are in the pre-Christmas time which can be a bit ??ber-busy for may... hence maybe not the best time to post such a Q. But I hope someone can reply and assist at some point.

Thanks. Hasta la then.

http://www.compassionsensuality.net/Media/celestia_files/EARTH_DAY_NIGHT.jpg Hello, I'm back after a hiatus. To refresh your memory on my use of Celestia, it is only for creating certain Earth shots I cannot do with Worldwind for a short film project. I use Fraps to capture. I'm also a person who t...

Thanks. Getting a bit code-y for me, but I'll just have dive in, figure it out and deal with it :) LATER EDIT: Well, that was pretty easy really. I've dealt with Registry edits on occasion and other XP tweaks. This was nuttin'. I even tested it by deliberately misspelling the new directory in the "c...

I ran into a situation that I need to address before I go ahead with correcting the directories: --- Is there a way to put all the maps and textures on an other drive or partition? Reason: I always keep my large multimedia files on an other partition and/or hard drive, separate from the OS. The way ...

Thanks, Selden, and that's fine about you being busy. Little by little, I'll figure this stuff out (yeah, I've calmed down and not in panicville right now :) I'll come back and reply once I have studied your instructions and try out what I can with it. Probably post some smaller resolution screen sh...

Pardon late reply. Regarding the suggested links and image quality, nice, but if not available, well, so it goes, and I can't follow the discussion since it's over my head :) As to my 64K/128K situation, I've installed everything as per Fightspit's instructions and 64K looks fine, but 128 still blac...

Selden: I could have sworn I hit PM, but must not have. My apologies. ----------------------- Don Edwards (and anyone else): I'm going to use my World Wind if necessary for flyovers that don't include seeing the curvature of the Earth. I'll put and seamlessly join several images of what I wish to fl...

P.S. to FightSpit: I would have sent you a PM on the below not-VT related subject, but clicking your PM button only goes to your VTs page at the Motherload. Maybe I'm too new at this community, but there doesn't seem to be any contact modality for you: all of the "Fightspit" links next to your VTs a...

I can't get to this right now due to stuff going on, but wanted to aknowledge and thank you both for your prompt replies. --- Seeing Fightspit's printscreens -- very helpful -- I've obviously got my folders wrong, which Iwill correct. --- The images were included simply to demonstrate what happened ...

Hello: Since this is a two-subject yet interrelated post, I'll break it up into two parts. PART 1: Fightspit's 64 & 128 VTs (Installation/Viewing Quirks) I spent alot of time downloading the 4 Gig worth of 64 and 128K of my first VTs by Fightspit from the Motherload catalog page (http://www.cel...
