Celestia Forums

I tested out some Horizons .xyzv data for C/2013 A1 (Siding Spring) and I found a bug:

Enabled orbits

Disabled orbits

Some info:

Celestia: 1.7.0
OS: Windows 11 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU (ignore this) 650 @ 3.20GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.3GHz
RAM: 8192MB
DirectX: 12
Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 450
Graphics Memory: 226MB

Looks to be another depth sorting bug.

But it's weird that it just glitches when orbits are disabled

this has already been reported by PK on the discord server, but he said he was using 1.6.2.2. this bug shouldnt even happen on 1.7.0 since i already reported a similar bug a few months back, and it got fixed for good. are you using the windows installer created by cartrite? if so, that uses a build from february, which was before this bug was fixed (17th of august). you should use the latest master build from here, but unfortunately the latest few builds have a VERY annoying bug
