A few modifications and it could be an amazing space sim! It would make learning a heck of alot more interesting If you could explore saturn and its moons from a cockpit! If I may here, WHAT the Hell is your problem? Celestia is already an amazing space simulator, and it has been since it was first...

Im a space sim junkie so maybee I can help. It is possible to fly around in celestia, but its probably not what your after. look in the controls file in the celestia main folder to see what keys do what. Using a joystick and a Nostromo N52, you can somewhat fly around, but theres no way to render an...

Thankyou sdudley. I dident realize changing the cfg values effected joysticks. All it mentioned was keys. I will give it a try when I get home tonight.

As title says. In full screen mode I cant rightclick planets or any object and get the menu. Only in windowed mode. Im not real familar with vista, just got a new laptop with it a few days ago, so i may have somthing set wrong. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions or possible solutions wou...

I have tested this on 4 different computers and 3 different joysticks. Im fairly sure its not a hardware issue. Here is whats happening. Plug in your joystick and give it a try. First, move your joystick to the right or down(down should move the screen up), but only move the joystick slightly. Doing...

Ahh, No wonder I couldent find it. That fixed it! Thanks!

After updating to 1.5, I too am now experiencing a strange spherical darkness at the center of the sun, the size of which changes depending on which angle you look at it from. I'm using Runar's "A portrait of our sun" add-on. I want to keep the add-on. What is going on? What should I do? It worked ...

Someone mentioned somthing simmilar a few posts up, but would be a nice feature to be able to resize and make some of the windows transparent. imagine having the starbrowser open while your exploring and being able to resize it, and have the window transparent where only the text and border show. An...

I have a couple requests Joystick improvements. Would be nice to have roll on joysticks with a twist handle. Currently you have to use the arrow keys, and there is only 1 speed. Someone else also mentioned this, but goto command is almost instant. Maybee a way to select the speed for it? Rather than...

Thanks for the info. I will check it out.

Just wondering if anyone would be willing to make me a SSC file for a fictional solarsystem. Last time I tryed making a solarsystem was on version 1.2.5 so im a little out of touch with how celestia works now. Not looking for anything super, (Im not real good at this anyway) I just enjoy playing on ...

Is this what you mean?

What I am trying to do is is make 2 sets of clouds for jupiter, one turning one way, the other turning the oposite direction to give it kind of a stormy effect. I know its probably not realistic or accurate, but hey, it would look nice! Plus im having alot of fun learning how to do this stuff! My re...

Anyone?

Kinda new to this, a couple questions. Is there a command to make clouds turn the oposite direction? Is it possible to have 2 cloud layers? Could someone give me an example of how it would look in the ssc? Ive been going through all the 9, er uh, 8 planets installing addons for each one, putting my ...

Thanks for the replys! I spent some time learning the key commands and am doing much better. Still have the joystick problem, cant seem to figure that one out. I loaded celestia on my secondary PC and get the same thing there!!
Anyway, Thanks for the link. I will check it out tonight on my home PC.

Hello everyone. First let me say Celestia is amazing! I find it hard to believe this is a free program. Hats off to the programers! A couple noob questions if you dont mind..... Is it possible to fly by an object, lets say a space station or satilite, and keep the view centered on the object while I...
