Missing spacecrafts

[jeszy]

Hello,

I have just installed Celestia 1.3.2 from RPM on a machine running Fedora Core 4. It works fine except that spacecrafs are not displayed. If I select a spacecraft such as Hubble only its label is rendered. What is wrong?

Best regards,

Peter

Are thses spacecraft that came with your version of Celestia or are they Add-Ons that you installed after. There are two versions of Celestia circulating. Version 1.3.2 is the current final release, and there is a test/beta version 1.4.0 that is also commonly available. Some spacecraft have differing versions to correlate with one version of Celestia or the other. Additionally, some spacecraft models are "graphics intensive" and need a newer graphics card or lots of system memory for integrated processors.
Unfortunately, the only Fedora I've ever heard of is made of felt and worn on the head. In other words, try to submit more information about the problem and/or your computer system. I had a similar problem with certain spacecraft not rendering any form but, in my case, it was due to an inconsistent file structure. Check which Hubble model you have and see if it's compatable with your version of Celestia.
Hope this helps.

Hi, I too have FC4 and got the same problem. Just download the FC3 version of the RPM and install...you should get your models then.
I found this out by accident, I just happen to have two FC3 machines as well as FC4.
I don't know what the problem was with the FC4 version. I may pay bugzilla at RedHat a visit and let them know.

Make sure the dates are correct in the ssc code...I tend to '#' them so I can see the models 'here and now'.

Hope this is usefull...shuttle models and ISS on stream soon! Woot!

regards...bh.

Check to see if the capitalization of the models' filenames are the same as the capitialization used in the ssc files. The case in filenames matters in Linux.
