Hi!

I have Celestia 1.3.0 and it works fine, but...
I'd like to see the cities on earth, so i need to get 1.3.1pre* (for Windows).

I went to the CVS:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/view ... /celestia/

...But i can't find the .zip file!

What/Where shall i download?!

Thanks for your help!!

Hello Whereisit.
The files you are looking for are here

Celestia v 1.3.1pre6
http://ennui.shatters.net/celestia/files/celestia-win32-1.3.1pre6.exe

and the City locations is here
http://www.bt.homepage.btinternet.co.uk/Files/Earth-Citys.ssc

But i hope you are not expecting to see city models.
this is just a list of city names in text, overlayed on to the earth texture.

Hello, Darkmiss! (i know i should get a name)
Thanks for the links!

- no i wasn't expecting city models... i know it's not on Chris'todo list yet. Apparently planet textures close-up / cities are not easy to include in Celestia, and it's not Chris priority. So i'll wait

I downloaded the files and then as said Fridger
- put the .ssc file in the extra directory
- start celestia
- switch the labels on with the '&' key and also approach the earth sufficiently (on my screen ~6300 km at standard FOV) for labels to pop up.

... and it works fine

Glad to hear you got things worked out okay..... Whoeveryouare
