Greetings to the celestia community, here is my personal favorite, looks realistic with small amount of lens flare added to it, try it out, maybe you like it, cheers... http://img3.exs.cx/img3/9179/flare6tc.jpg [Edit] direct linking does not seem to work on the webhost above, image is now temporary ...

The "terrain scale" would really be a useful feature impliment to Celestia. I enjoyed GeoPlayer™ Mars Demo, simple & fast, I can only imagine what the fullversion would cost $?, Impressive Earth Gallery:: http://www.geofusion.com/gallery.html can someone borrow me 8k USD$ =), The Source code isnt fr...

Hi ANDREA, Try and move the "Earth 64k JPG" Folder to the root of "hires or medres folder", that should fix it, your .ctx seems right, should be like.. VirtualTexture { ImageDirectory "earth64k JPG" BaseSplit 0 TileSize 1024 TileType "jpg" } Please Wait.. Loading 46kb .jpg Image.. % http://milad.50f...

TERRIER>> I agree, its faster that way, to first finish the enire reply post in my language and then simply translate, I use a online dictionary all the time for some "hard" words or for spellchecking but not for translating the entire page. I cheated a few years ago just to save some time =) and wr...

danielj >> maybe you have set the virtual textures wrong or used another method before, you dont need to use the "extras" folder or use "alternative textures" in order to use diffrent virtual textures at the same time, The reason that its better to use the "extras" folder is because it makes it easi...

Hi, you should defenitly give "Virtual Textures" a shot, that way you can use alot of huge hires textures at the same time, This is one of my favorite spec maps, I believe that it was made by "Buzz" it covers all the rivers, very well detailed. its a 32k virtual textures in 512 pixel wide dds format...

maxim >> you where fast... it was "0" replys when I first typed the text above, that took me 20 min , because of my bad grammer and spelling, so i always have to check twice before I write. it would be nice with "auto spell" checking on this forum for the aliens outside US/ENG/AUS

The slowdowns depends on What graphic card you use and how much memory it has and also the filetype of the texture, huge 16k-32k single .jpg and .png textures are much demanding and slows down most systems. if I remember right you have a FX 5700 with 128mb onboard memory. you are already using a sin...

Thanks Don, It now works great, I load the default earth with the "overlay shadows ON" and using the alternative texture for turning them OFF, I was against Alternative Textures because I believed that Celestia maybe would Load all the earth textures/normal/night maps again even if they would be the...

Hi Don, I could not find any line but the "alt-texture" line when looking at the "Celetia Now Has Cloud Shadows" thread. I will search more for just "cloud shadows" to see what I can find on this forum, tnx. http://www.celestiaproject.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3980&postdays=0&postorder=asc&a...

it would be nice if we could (load)enable/disable the overlay texture from the celestia menu or keyboard shortcuts, That way we could add the line: "OverlayTexture "Earth_Cloud_Shadows_8k.dds" to the reguallar earth in solarsys.ssc and enable/disable the shadows when needed on-fly. insted of adding ...

amazing, thats one of those "MUST VISIT Places" =), really beutiful views of Aurora-Borealis.

bh >> I totally agree, a dynamic flare would defenitly look good and spice up celestia a bit. Like flight sims as you said the flares should look very bright/dazzling when you look directly at it and fade away when you change view. Lens flare is not needed then but would be nice as a extra option. -...

Try out this one, its my favorite, looks bright and ads a smal tone of lens flare effect. Please wait... Loading "flare.jpg" 35kb. http://milad.50free.net/flare.jpg looks like this in action... Please wait.. Loading Image %.... http://milad.50free.net/newflare.jpg -----------------------------------...

^^ the auto-log out system kicked me out again

Greetings Celestia Community. Is it possible to improve the sun Flare & Atmosphere in celstia to make it look more realistic? Please wait... Loading "36kb" .jpg image (not from celstia) http://milad.50free.net/sun.jpg I have added the sun as a separate texture in the solarsys.ssc and tested diffrent...

9mm>> here is a direct link to Don. Edwards 16k Earth, This texture is near perfection. Impessive and Realistic.
