How to use a DDS Texture?

Post #1by hotel_Whisky » 11.02.2005, 10:40

Maybe an absolute noob-question, nevertheless I'd really appreciate help.
I've installed Celestia 1.3.2.0 yesterday and downloaded the texture-file RealisticEarth-v4-16kDDS.dds.
Where do I have to put this texture in oder to make it visible?
Do I have to install additional software?
Many thanks in advance.

Best regards

Check out the Textures Topic and the FAQ which is located HERE for
some more information on how to install textures.

Hope that helps, Bob :wink:
