Celestia 1.7.0. has still OPENGL? Any rendepath options?

Post #1by ANDREA » 17.09.2022, 13:44

Hello everyone.
In previous versions of Celestia I could choose renderpath options as needed, but in 1.7.0. this is no longer possible, neither in the settings nor with the cel command.
The reason I ask is that I can no longer see the cloud shadows, even though my settings are as suggested.
Have I missed something?
Thank you for your help.

The only supported render option in 1.7.0 is the one called "OpenGL 2.0". I'll check why cloud shadows don't work when I have time.
