Terrorbye, What you are experiencing is a shock from false expectations. I remeber it hjappened the same a while ago when Independence day cama at about the same time as Tim Burton's Mars Attacks. Many people went ino the teather expecting to see another independence day, but when tehy found this sattire of the classical 50's sci-fi grade b movies, they said that the movie sucked, but it didn't. If you went to see it knowing that it was a sattire of the classical 50's sci-fi grade b moves, you found it hilarous and fascinating.
Perhaps you're not really into space, astronomy, solarsystem exploration o even a bit of real science. Perhaps you just wanted a space shooter to kick some alien butt... and certianly celestia makes a really dull game at that.
But celestia is not a game!!!!!!
Celeria es a REAL SPACE SIMULATOR is about as close as you or me are ever going to get to looking out of the window of a spaceship and say "hey dude, You can see Io's volcanos from here!"
I am using a dream machine: pentium 5; 1 gig of ram, etc. etc. I am a POWER user.
Well, I have a computer with no graphic card at all. (I mean it, it phisically lacks the hardware, I'm surprised it runs at all) I have enjoyed beatuy beyond description, learning by viewing wich I could have never imagened myself. I know jack about programing and stiull have managed to change textures, atmosphere colors, virtial textures and loads of beautiful stuff. True, I would have to learn much more to do other stuff, but how much of a learning person are you?
I have to say it: You were expecting someting that Celestia isn't. When you find one of those crystal balls that have snow in it, you don't play baseball with it. and you don't spend hours watching a basebal either, you just trow it at someone and start playing.
AS for the millions of users of Flight simulator, jus let me tell you that also millions of people use the windows madia player... but as soon as they try someting different, like say, winamp; they realize that michrosof is just big and commercial and widespread, but not really good at software.
And Keep doom 3 out of this!!!
