Re: Positions of Phobos and Deimos

Vincent: I was reporting what I thought may be another orbital problem, not a Lua tools problem.

I have installed the Lua tools 1.2 Beta and of course it doesn't ...

Re: Positions of Phobos and Deimos

Did some more investigation.
Cycled through all 5 render paths: crashes at
8.479 Km, 9.211 Km, 9.616 Km, 9.378 Km and 11.129 Km
Similar results when I have atmosphere and clouds turned off.

Cannot activate Globular Clusters

I am running Celestia 1.6.0 SVN r4542 on Windows Vista Home Premium. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8400M GT graphics card (this is probably not relevant to my problem). When I press Shift "u" or Shift "e" to turn on Globular Clusters and labels, nothing happens! I modified the celestia...
