Flashing Baikonour

[linuxm@n]

I uses celestia 1.51 official on linux gentoo 64 and Vista 64 /geforce 8700/512mb
and i encounder problems with objects near a planet surface.

For example with my Baikonour launchbase is flashing and the texture disapeared and come back.
I have replace the "plane" with the picture by a cube and it don't change anything.
To eliminate this i must change the altitude from zero to 50 or more kilometers this is not cr?dible....
I have the same problem with the Tycho site on my 2001 addon.
In celestia 1.41 it works better.
i have testing the 3d Mars surface chandra found here
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=12704

And this one works perfectly.

Do it change something if i change the plane object with a sph?rical surface.

here is the baikonour ssc file:

"Pad" "Sol/Earth"

I think I remember I also had problems with this blinking a while back. I think someone told me that it had something to do with the dds file format. Try png or jpg files.
