asteroid belt

I noticed that if you set a moon/planets values at 0, then if you goto it it takes you to the centre of the star. So, maybe if you then give the body some rings with the correct radius, and a new texture, it may look like an asteroid belt. However, it probably wont work :)

Re: Eclipses: OMG!

I thought the rings look really cool when you view the gas giant from an orbiting satellite with an atmosphere. I will put a link to the screenshots when i upload them later.

Re: Cabin art

I am very interested in this idea. My co-conspirater and i have been discussing all of the things we could do with this program. Another thing that would be good would be a simple terrain addition. From now on, all of my spare time will be spent on making additions to this wonderful program. I hope ...

I would just like to say.......

:D I would like to congratulate the people at Shatters.net on such an absolutely FANTASTIC program. I was making a mod for Orbiter based on the old Elite games, but now i am completely dedicated to this project, and the fact that it is open source is the icing on the cake. Yesterday, i put a ringed ...
