Celestia Forums

OK solved now. I forgot the addon fix for Celestia 1.5, that works on 1.6 also. Any chance of including the fix with the motherload files to prevent this problem.

Installed Celestia version 1.6.0 and everything fine. Installed either of Runar Thorvaldsen's "A portrait of our sun" and they both have a darker hole in the middle when you get reasonably close. Picture attached. Flares seem to be working ok. Is this a problem with the addon or have I got...

Thanks for your help.

Looks like you were right. Went back to first principles, blew it all away and started again by downloading 1.4.1 again, although it's what i had before. Installed and there were the nightlights. The only thing I had added was earth's Blue Marble Next Generation 64K VT. Should I try adding this again?

Tried the latest NVidia beta driver 101.41, no change.

As you will see above I get 5 render paths. Nothing on any of them

Nothing happens. I can turn off/on planets, clouds but no nightlights

That's right, none. Here's the OpenGL info Vendor: NVIDIA Corporation Renderer: GeForce 6200 TurboCache(TM)/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! Version: 2.1.1 Max simultaneous textures: 4 Max texture size: 4096 Point size range: 1.000000 - 63.375000 Supported Extensions: GL_ARB_color_buffer_float GL_ARB_depth_texture G...

It's Vista Home Premium, 32bit on an Athlon64. The driver is just released by Nvidia, downloads as ForceWare release 100.65

The render paths are
Basic
Multitexture
OpenGL vertex
OpenGL vertex/NVidia
Open GL2.0

You have to upgrade the NVidia driver to get sensible OpenGL back. Microsoft have given in to protests. Celestia tells me I have 4 x 4K textures.

Have just done a clean install of Vista (seems to be the only way), installed Celestia version 1.4.1, which I'm sure was OK on the upgrade (one of the few things that were). Now I get no nightside lights. I can switch clouds on and off but no nightside. Any ideas please?
