Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to Celestia and was wondering what would be the best bump mapped Earth texture to use for a 128MB card (Radeon 9500 Pro)? If someone could point me to a link that has the file and instructions on on how to install it properly, that would be very appreciated. Thanks!

IMO this is the best earth texture about so far.
there are a few to choose from and they are all good.
But i don't think it comes with a bump map.
so you might have to ask around for one.
Correction, yes it does.
there isn't much it doesn't come with

If all ATI cards are like my 9800 Pro, they can't do bumpmaps. Don't you need the nVidia combiners to do that?
