Celestia 1.3.2Pre8 Graphics issue
Posted: 18.06.2004, 12:35
This is more of an observation than a bug report:
My System:
P4 2.8GHz .5GRam
NVidia Geforce 4 TI4200 with Latest Drivers
directx9.0b
I recently installed the above Celestia version and noticed the following
behavioural difference. I'll describe it with an example of my B5 station
addon with orbiting Thunderbolt Starfury. The orbit radius of the thunderbolt (5) was set with Celestia 1.3.1 to allow a nice view of the station while orbiting. A smaller radius would have made the station misbehave graphically when viewed while traveling with the starfury i.e. image distortion - (the station appearing to turn inside out etc. when you zoom in too close.)
With the new Celestia version I've had to increase the oribit radius from 5 to 7.5 to eliminate the distortions.
Similarily the same effect occurs with some of my other addons.
