Basic question

Post #1by backman » 08.03.2004, 00:51

Hi everybody! Sorry about my english :oops:

I met with Celestia Space simulator more than a year a go, while i was navigating in the Internet. I like very much astronomy, and Celestia is 100% astronomy. But my old PC was not able to reproduce the titanic graphics that actually uses Celestia :cry: .

Now, I have a new computer and I can Install those fantastic dds textures, but I?ve a new problem... ?How I must install those texture packages of 32k textures for earth? I know how to install jpg, png and dds textures but neither cxt nor dxt

May be you can refer to a post in wich these questions are answered

thanks.

Javier,

If you go to my website, you can download a manual which explains how to use virtual textures. The website is HERE. :wink:

Hope that helps. Your English is excellent. The only thing I can do in Spanish is swear. :lol:

Take care, Bob

Javier,

You can also view the topic HERE if you need more information. This thread contains all the dumb questions I had to ask Selden, Ptarmigan and Toti in order for me to understand how to use virtual textures. :wink:

Hope that helps.

Take care, Bob
