You need to tell us exactly what Addon you downloaded, where you downloaded it from and what you've done to try to see the ship. There are too many different possible problems you might have encountered for us to guess.

If you haven't already done so, you should consider reading http://www.lepp.cornell.edu/~seb/celest ... intro.html

That Addon can't work by itself. It includes a Readme.txt which explains the other Addon that must be installed first.

Since psychology seems to dictate that a file called "readme" never ever gets read, especially not by the people who should read it, maybe it would be better to go with "DO NOT READ.txt" or something... :roll:
