Sphere inside Sun problem

Post #1by rian4me » 28.11.2009, 17:30

I put that 'Reallistic_sun' package and now this is how my sun looks.
And its not just "this" particular addon, i tried every other sun addon on celestia motherlode and its all the same..just the surface image changes
But that inner sun remains

All of them have kind of similar ssc

"Sun" "Sol" {
Texture "realsun.*"
Emissive true
Radius 709100
Oblataness 0.009

EllipticalOrbit {
Period 1e10
SemiMajorAxis 1e-10
Eccentricity 0.00
Inclination 0.00
}

Atmosphere {
Height 5000000
Lower [ 0.9 0.70 0 ]
Upper [ 0.62 0.5 0 ]
Sky [ 0.9 0.65 0 ]
}

RotationPeriod 610
Obliquity 7.25
EquatorAscendingNode 75.70
}

I tried commenting out line by line various things..but its either all or none..either i have to leave it at the default gstar look
or it has that inner sphere in the sun.I even changed the names of the texture..but its still the same

Please Help!!

I have a hunch this new ["Sun" "Sol"] definition may be just putting another 'planet' at the center of our solar system..which is what i see
But if this is the case..shouldnt everyone have the same problem?

I had this problem too for a while, but there IS a fix for it somewhere. Perhaps by Runar?
Did you search this forum for the problem? Sorry, but I don't remember where the fix exists.

Thanks, Brain-Dead

Try searching Celestial Matters too.

Hm, 'Realistic Sun' is by Ganso.
Runar made 'A portrait of our sun' and patched his add-on for 1.5/1.6.
Both add-ons are located here: http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/sol.php
