scaled disc bug?

Post #1by cartrite » 11.08.2009, 09:49

At first I thought this was a qt4 bug but I then noticed that only the qt4 version had star style set to scaled discs. When looking at a planet, moon, or spacecraft from a distance, they are rendered as big bright discs. Here is a CEL_URL to the Apollo spacecraft.

Code: Select all

The star style was not part of this url so you have to toggle star styles. With the scaled disc setting, the spacecraft will become a bright disc. This disc looks rather large. Maybe it is OK for a planet or moon but is it OK for a spacecraft?
