Beginner problems ...
Posted: 21.07.2004, 13:41
Hi everybody.
I'm a Celestia beginner and have read the documentation file from the Celestia website (English MS Word version).
Two little problems occurred.
1. On page 16 there is a screenshot of a scene with the spacecraft Voyager 2 (figures 20-22). Klicking the link, Celestia only shows the starry space background without Voyager 2.
The View Options settings should be correct.
Do I need an add-on to be able to see the Voyager 2 spacecraft?
2. Seeing the names of locations on earth being displayed, I tried the "Enter/Name/Enter" method. But the displayed location names did not appear in the locations' list. On earth only moon, ISS, Hubble and some others were available, but not the cities. I followed the instructions on page 28 precisely. What could be wrong?
Celestia is an amazing program. I like it very much after knowing it very little. The described problems are not much important, but I'm looking forward to find a solution.
Maybe someone can give me help ... thank you very much!
