About galaxies and nebulae appearance in Celestia

Post #1by thimage » 12.04.2005, 15:03

Am I the only one with this problem or is it just a dumb question?


"Hi. most downloaded galaxies and nebulae addons show only a jumble of characters hanging in space. The "u" key solved most of my nebulae and none of the galaxies. I have a 7500 mobile radeaon 64mb with no upadtes on the ATI website. "

Jumbled letters floating in space usually means that Celestia was unable to find and/or load the surface texture image associated with the model.

There are many possible causes. Please take a look at http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addon-intro.html#6,
which describes some of them.
