Problem with orbits, altough I'm using Celestia 1.2.3

Alright, now the comet is revolving

Where is Comet Hale-Bopp?
I couldn't find this guy in the entire universe of Celestia

Yeepeeh!!! It works!!! Pluto looks great!

Thanks to the best software developer ever!!!

Hey Chris

seems to work with that new texture, I can even go to Phobos and Deimos!!!

Would be cool if you make a new texture for Pluto

yeah in fact, the crashing problem seems to be a voodoo problem since there is no crash with the Matrox G450 ... the twin shadows appear with both voodoo3 and g450 so, maybe a celestia bug ??? had anyone else experienced the problem ??? ( put ambiant light to see the dark side of jupiter for exempl...

Hey Laahel

thats pretty scary, that you face the same problem. And that twin shadow problem occours on my system too.

This error occured when I was trying to go to Phobos moon: CELESTIA verursachte einen Fehler durch eine ung?ltige Seite in Modul GLU32.DLL bei 0167:7d387d2c.

No, I selected Mars, pressed G to go there, I approached the planet and some km's before came that error message and the programm crashed. Happened only with Mars and Pluto til now.

Now the eclipses look fine, but if I want to go to Mars or Pluto, I get an error message: CELESTIA verursachte einen Teilungsfehler in Modul CELESTIA.EXE bei 0167:0045bd80.

Ok . . . give this a try: http://www.celestiaproject.net/celestia/files/celestia-win32-1.2.2-patch.zip It's a 370K zip of celestia.exe . . . copy it over your existing celestia.exe (which is probably in c:\program files\celestia) and let me know if it fixes that crosshair effect with eclipses. --Ch...

Would be cool!!! Thanks

I have an Elsa Victory II with Voodoo Banshee Graphics Chip. Works fine with simulation unless a GeForce would be better. But I encountered a problem a showed in this picture below! It doesn't appear at eclipse simulation on Earth and Moon, only on Jupiter, Neptun and so on... What the hell is that?...
