Woohoo!

I have a problem to report. Your orbit for the Spektr-R spacecraft goes through the planet Earth instead of around it.

Can you post new orbital parameters in order to fix this?

Yes, indeed. At me all too most.

In the HORIZONS Web-Interface was an incorrect eccentricity. Try this.

Sorry, I have the same problem of the previous issue, i.e. I'm unable to download the torrent file.
I use torrents with Tixati, but instead it tries to download the file using the download function of Chrome.
Could you please attach the torrent link, please?
Thanks a lot.

For anyone who cares, I have hosted the latest version along with the others.

http://celestia.simulatorlabbs.com/Downloads/Celestia-Origin/

As I did before, I will be putting together a ready to run version as well.
When downloading, check the date and version very carefully.

Celestia Origin v.5 (30.04.2018).7z

Is what you are after if you want the lastest.

I got Celestia Origin v5 (30.04.2018) when the Yandex.Disk link was still up. OMG soo early!

It should be noted, you can organize direct links much better than me. Thank you. I tried to download the archive on Google Drive, but he always hovered at 74 percent. And Yandex does not allow downloading too many times.

One question: Why do you keep the old versions? Even I do not keep them.

Hi janus, thanks a lot, downloading it just now.
BTW, can you give us the exact dims of the 7z file, just to be sure of it?
Thank you.
Bye

@Art Blos

I did not organize any links in the downloads.
That is simply a directory listing.

I have a vanity domain so that I do not have to fight all the horrid upload download options on the net.
I use dreamhost, they are easy to work with, affordable, and are more concerned with server clogging than storage or bandwidth usage.
I have my rather crude site, my own webmail that I control, a forum, a blog I keep forgetting to update, and nearly perfect uptime.
It also helps that they let you more than one year at a time, not just monthly.

As for the old versions, I always tend to keep the old versions of things.
I do not clean my archives until there is a need.
I quite often refer back to older versions of projects for comparison or inspiration.

@Goofy

I am not sure what you mean by the Dims of the 7z?
If you mean the exact link.
Look for the one with v.5 & (30.04.2018) in it where the size is 3.0G
It is the first one.
The par2 files are much smaller, and for ensuring the download is complete.
Unneeded most of the time, great for avoiding multigig redownloads.


Janus.

Hi Janus. No, I just downloaded the 7z file, and it is 3.182.020.425 byte, so please can you confirm me that it's the right size?
This because I had a problem with the previous issue, with the downloaded file that was smaller thand it should, so didn't work.
Thank you.

I confirm, this is our archive. Size 2,96 GB.

@Goofy

The size of 3,182,020,425 is correct.
That is also why I included the par2 files. (Quickpar, or multipar)
Using them is a quick way to verify archive and if necessary, repair it without a complete redownload.
I have not actually had time to open it yet.
Life keeps insisting that get my current jobs done, and my hobbies suffering for it.


Janus.

Edit: Because my speling when multeyetasking is offal.

Thank you both, appreciated.

Added after 41 minutes 22 seconds:
Hi.
I was trying the install.bat, but it doesn't allow me to change the destination directory (it was suggested to put Celestia in the C: folder and not in Program Files folder, so...).
What can I do?
Can I simply copy and past, substituting the older files?
Sorry but I'm a noob on this!

All files and folders specified in the script must first be deleted (can be deleted manually). For the script you must have administrator rights.

Thank you.

For those that care I should have a working archive of the latest just like I did the last one, up this weekend in my downloads.
Currently working on merging current code from github with my own fork.
Upgraded Lua to 5.3.4, have static linked VS2013 working in x86 & x64, working on QT now.

I will post details when I have them.

Hello,

I noticed for some asteroids, a display defect for 3D models that you provide in your last package. These asteroids are not displayed:
Golevka (Alinda family Pha)
Toutatis (Alinda family Pha)
Braille (Mars crosser)
Eros (Amor family)
Ganymed (Amor family)
Pallas (Pallas family)

I am at the beginning of the checks and for those, I put asteroid.cmod and asteroid.jpg.

Am I the only one to whom this happens? Is it a question of graphics card? Or are they bugs in the files?

I personally checked all listed objects. All are displayed.
