Hello Reiko, what cloudmap texture are you using?
Thank you for the info.
Bye

Reiko, thank you, but I'm speaking of "Cloudmaps". :wink:

Thank you.

Thank you Reiko.
I never tried Harald Schmidt's 32kVT cloudmap, and I see it looks very nice.
I'll give a try. :wink:

Bye

A honeymoon to saturn would be romantic

Are you starting a Kzin colony there?

Kzinti Colony Population = 1 at the moment.
We Kzinti eat Samurai for breakfast, so send them down! :twisted:

Actually, speaking of honeymoons, I believe NZ is a very popular place for Japanese to "tie the knot". Perhaps because the scenery is a little more varied than Saturn's. :wink:

I can't say I have ever been to NZ but after seeing Lord of the Rings I've been wanting to go.

By the way what is your favorite man-kzin wars story?

I wish we had this today

Those are from Frank Gregorio's 2001 Spacecraft Pack

Uh, might as well...

I've found out that the ability to orient objects in Celestia and to zoom in on them gives some interesting results. Well I think they are...

These were all made with the basic Celestia 1.4.1 package.

Mars' moons, Deimos and Phobos

Jupiter and Terra

Mars and Mercury

Mercury and Saturn

Mercury and Venus

More to come, if you don't mind that is...

Moonships 391km above the earth...

Moonships by Selden Ball and Earth by Fightspit

PS I'm not 100% sure which cloud map I have installed.

Post #71by **selden** » 12.01.2007, 12:04

Actually the moonships are by Re(i)mbrandt.
I only cleaned up a few elements and uploaded them (with his permission) to the ML.

The most distant star I have traveled to in Celestia.

The star is TYC 3151-1299-1. If you notice the distance from earth it's almost 22,000 light years. This is from Pascal Hartmann's extended star database.

A look at the earth from my moon, Dioluna.

Reiko · Post #75by **Reiko** » 13.01.2007, 19:56

How close is your moon?
Earth looks far away in my picture

Hunter Parasite · Post #76by **Hunter Parasite** » 13.01.2007, 22:07

The outer ring is the regular moon, the inner one is my Fictional moon, Dioluna

Here's an earlier picture of an eclipse.

And, i have a moon for mecury and venus too.

That's cool! How did you do that?

Hunter Parasite · Post #78by **Hunter Parasite** » 14.01.2007, 00:38

just write the code for it and stick in the solarsys.scc file in your data folder. Visit the link for that moon's code.

Hunter,
It would be better to do this in a separate SSC file in your extras folder. It's better not to edit the solarsys.ssc file at all, as it gets recreated with new installs of Celestia. Just cut and paste the code for your new moon into a new file, and save it as for example dialuna.ssc in the extras folder. (It can even be in a sub-folder)

Hunter Parasite · Post #80by **Hunter Parasite** » 14.01.2007, 01:38

but, the moon doesn't appear when you keep it in the extras folder. At least, not the other two moons.
