Moon orbits are not rendering

planet orbits are fine but the moon orbits are not rendering. Is this because I have a GeF4 TI 4200 video card? Everything else shows up great including the highres images and the 4th texture level for Nvidia cards. I have all the latest upgrades for my card.

Quick (really basic) check, but have you checked whether moon orbits are enabled in the View Options dialog (Render menu)?

Does the moon orbit render when the moon itself is selected?

You were right!

No, the moon orbits were not checkmarked. Thanks a million for making me feel stupid HAHA. But here's the funny part, I just insalled 1.4.1 on my laptop and made some animations without even looking at the VIEW OPTION menu, then I installed 1.4.1 on my desktop and assumed that it would be the exact same install. I wonder why it did not default to same configuration....?

Oh well... :oops:

simply because we reconfigured a number of defaults to more sensible settings in 1.4.1....
