There seems to be a problem when it comes to showing hi res textures on my computer.
Here's an image to give you an idea of what I mean.
Basically I tried to use a hires texture for the rings, and a VT for the cloudmap. The rings are supposed to look like saturns.
When I turn off the cloud map, all the textures go black, so I get a black planet with black clouds and black rings...and a pretty blue atmosphere.
At first I was conviced that it was just my Ati Radeon 9200 graphics card. But updating the drivers didn't fix the problem. It could still be Ati card, but I can't think of a way to fix it.
Help!
Hi res issues
This is a normal behavior for a very high resolution cloud map. You have to manually stop the clouds movement in the solarsys.ssc. Just change the CloudSpeed 65 to 0.
"Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin", thought Alice; "but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!"
Ahh!! Thank you! That fixed the cloud texture problem.
The rings however, are still a little wierd. I got the 4k saturns rings texture from Jim's site.
They are supposed to look like saturns rings. But the results I got are seen in the picture I posted earlier. They do look nice...but...
The ring texture flickers and changes based on how far away from the planet I am.

re
some video cards will only handle up to a 2k ring
i think that the older nVida cards are 2k max
so try resizeing it
