I try everything I know and the VT texture "Mercury.7.08.ctx" of John van vliet SIMPLY DON?T WORK in this version.
I put first all in Extras,them I put all in textures>hires,then I put only the ssc in Data and finally I put the ssc in Extras.NOTHING WORKS and the planet looked bland and grey.

Here my solarsys.ssc:

I tested in Celestia 1.5.1 and apparently it works.
It may be related to .png textures.Are they obsolete?

It works fine for me with v1.6.

Don't forget that the R and r keys have been disabled in 1.6. They'll be used for something different in v1.7. Use the menu Render/Texture Resolution.
