The Taijituan System
« on: January 07, 2007, 11:53:48 PM »
I've been working this weekend on a compliment to the map that works on Celestia, a space viewing program. It's the Taijitu A System, five planets orbiting a large yellow star 5 light years from the Sun. Taijitu E, the second farthest away, is our planet. The attachment to it is below. Before you download this, download Celestia if you don't have it already. Once you've got it, go to My Computer-Local Disk-Program Files-Celestia-Extras, and put this folder in Extras. Everything should be ready for usage then. Just ask me if you want a spaceship somewhere in the system that's not already there. When I update this, I'll post a new attachment with the same things in it as the first one, just with the updated material there also. Just do the same thing I described above.

So, is this working? Hibernia said it wasn't for him, so I want to know if I zipped it wrong or something.

can you update it with the national borders on it? That would be interesting to see.

Also, More planets!!! :D (outer planets preferrably)

And I'd like my stations/hubble telescope to actually move :D

I thought I heard someone saying no spaceships/no post-modern tech a while ago  ::)

If you installed it right, all you should have to do is click enter/return, type in "Taijitu A", and then click enter/return again.

Well, about your first question, I never did that because I believed that would make it look less like a planet orbiting a star and more like a globe on a desk. Though, if all the people use this reach a consensus on that point, I will add the national borders.

 :D Ok. I'll add more planets.

Click "K" to slow time and "L" to speed up time. You'll see them orbiting the planet better than in real time.

Are you sure you installed it right? All you should have to do is drag the folder "Taijituan System" into the "extras" folder, start up Celestia, and click enter, type "Taijitu A", then click enter again.

Right click the star to get a list of all the things orbiting it. You can do this with the planets too.

1. Futuristic shuttle or like the space shuttle?
2. ISS/Mir like space station?

If you choose a Mir like space station and a NASA Space Shuttle, I can actually get a model of your space station and space shuttle linking up for a mission.
