Problems with Ships

Post #1by Superdave » 12.10.2003, 06:00

Im still new to the Celestia program. I just downloaded Ver.1.3.1. And im loving it! I also grabbed a few addons just for good measure I"m having problems viewing the star trek ships I downloaded. I double checked the file locations/paths. I can see the names of the ships when I enable spaceship labels but no ships appear? Any help would be appreciated
Thanks :)

Have you tjek in what solar system it is in.

You can't find ship, out side the solar system you are in.
You have to go to that solar system first, the to the ship.

Dave,

The first thing to do is to make sure the models and surface textures are in the right places. A list of common addon problems is at http://www.lns.cornell.edu/~seb/celestia/addons-intro.html#6

Also, make sure your graphics drivers are up to date. See the "preliminary User's FAQ" at the top of the Users Forum, Q1/A1 and Q2/A2.
