15 years later and we are still using Linux software in windows? i would have thought there would have been a windows alt i have never been able to run anything linux in windows besides Celestia itself i have DLed the nmtools and f-tex tool and they dont even work at all .. they open and then close ...

your right i wont be able to make something as complete as Celestia Origin with stuff from the motherload .. so il shift my project to Celestia Origin "Optimized" kinda has a nice ring to it

good looking out .. ya i must have missed the C-O version (dont know how) cuz i DLed 1.7 from your place thanks Janus works pretty ok this IS pretty much what i was going for!! although .... a startup time of over 20 seconds on a ryxen 5 is a lil much ... reading all the extra ssc files just like my...

great grandma always said never give at the door always at the office and never click on bat files you have no clue about in the days of spyware malware and data mining you never know what you can be clicking - i guess its just me who is still old school and doesnt click on files i dont know that ha...

think this is the best i have seen messenger.jhuapl.edu's 23K(?) Mercury Surface Map its a lil slow since its a 760 mb PNG but its the best looking witch my point is to do real looking planets. I wanted to use John van Vliet's mercury map cuz it works better and faster but its more of a black and wh...

hodgepodge like Celestia Origin is not what im going for Celestia Origin is a complete mess (sorry to say) all it is is a bunch of addon dumped into the extra folder making is slower... if your replacing the mercury textures you have to delete the old ones change the ssc files to point to the new on...

hi all old newbie so i want to make a version of my own using the best res pics and newest data ... i have done it before years ago using mostly John van Vliet addons with the muti level of pics but are those really the best ? i would think the higher the K number (1,2,4,8,16,32) the better - yes? a...
