Celestia Forums

Hi all Has anyone got anywhere with producing a capability in Celestia to project in "Full Dome" 360-degree format, suitable for use through a digital projector equipped with a fish-eye lens in a planetarium dome? A quick "search" of the Forum reveals that a similar question was ...

Hi again, all Sorry not to have logged on recently - I've been away for a couple of weeks (nowhere very exotic, alas!). Just to say, once again, many thanks for spending your time considering my questions and offering your advice. I sincerely appreciate your kindness in doing so and I look forward t...

Hi guys I really appreciate all your detailed replies - I feel things becoming much clearer now, thanks to you! The reason I was wondering whether it was better to stick with XP over Vista is that I believe Vista would be much more memory-intensive. Ergo, this means the performance of Celestia would...

Additional! I should clarify that I have already looked through the FAQ's section on graphics cards, but when I search for things like Nvidia 5000 (and above) graphics cards on Google, the stuff that comes up is really complex and (for me at least!) confusing. Are these Nvidia cards the same as GeFo...

Hi all For a couple of years now I've been using Celestia very successfully during lecture work with children and adults here in the UK. The problem is, my 1.7GHz Pentium-powered laptop (with its ATI Mobility Radeon X300 graphics card with 64MB of VRAM) can be a bit clunky at times. What I really wa...

Firstly, big thanks to Vincent for curing my Windows problem in a split second! It worked instantly, and was so absurdly simple and obvious that I feel like Homer's really, really stupid third cousin. Oh dear. Secondly, thanks for pointing out my gender mistake, Andy - I simply assumed that, because...

To my tremendous embarrassment, I now find that (having gone through the Command Prompt method mentioned above) Alt + Enter does successfully bring up the Full Screen Mode in exactly the same resolution as "normal" mode, thus achieving what I've been wanting (without having to buy a new computer and...

Although I still can't get Windows to accept my addition of the " --fullscreen" text in the Target path for Celestia (see my message above), I just ran Celestia the old-fashioned DOS way from the Command Prompt and it happily started up. I went through the rest of Andrea's instructions and it did, i...

Many thanks for your reply, Fridger. Making the assumption that someone had probably asked the same question before, I did do a search, but clearly I didn't use the right search words! My mistake entirely. The only trouble now is..... that when I try the steps given by Andrea in her post on this sub...

I'm having trouble displaying Celestia in a full screen mode and would welcome some guidance. I've found that if I press the Alt + Enter keys on my Windows XP laptop when running Celestia, the screen changes so that I lose the menu and title bar at the top of the screen. This is great, as it means t...
