hi - as an amateur programmer i would get great value out of playing witht the celestia "run demo" script - thte one on the help menu in celestia. Can anyone help me out and supply me with it or tell me where i can get a hold of it?

thanks all

It's located in the Celestia directory. <i>demo.cel</i>

thanks a mil

just a question tho....howcome when u run demo.cel as a script it has no planet textures, but run it of the "run demo" option under help and there are planet textures?

That's a good question. I tried it and I could not see the earth at the beginning of the demo. I could see the other planetary bodies, however.

At the start of the demo look to the top left corner of the screen it says Earth
Distance: 206.??? AU
Just click g (go) that will zoom in too earth.
I thik that's becasue you're starting Celestia from just the default location, before you Go to Io you travell to it right?
It may be that before you reac Io you are 200 AU away from it.

I keep it as a record.
Rass sent me an email containing Celestia's whereabouts.
The same day I installed it. That was a good email, one of the best I've ever gotten.
