Sun shines through planet earth

Post #1by ElecMoHwk » 04.12.2006, 01:39

Pardon me if I'm repeating something but I couldn't find anything on this in the bug forum, or the display issue thread.

AMD Athlon X2 4200+ 2G Ram
Nvidia Geforce4 7400 256MB Integrated
I am running XP SP2 Home, and Celestia 1.4.1
I have downloaded the ISS COMPLETE 3Ds model and the ISS Textures.

When viewing the ISS in orbit on the dark side of the planet, one side is illuminated still THROUGH the planet. I am wondering if this is something with my setup? Or a bug in the program.

As I said, can't find anything on the forums about this, but excuse me if I've just overlooked it.

dunno if it's a known bug, but yes, I can see it illuminated through the planet in 1.4.1 too.

However, on the (not fully up to date) version of 1.5.0 that I have, it's not illuminated through the planet, so I think the bug may have been fixed.

Sweet. I haven't put 1.5.0 on yet. I like playing with stable things on this puter.

oh, 1.5.0 is stable... it's just a bit buggy in places ;). But I've not seen it crash horribly on me.
