Widescreen Gaming Forum

My 24" Dell widescreen in the middle ... when matrox get it to work ... 8)

lol, i wish it worked better on ATi hardware, i could get another 17" and a 19", sell my NEC....

Nice setup there Paddy, i dont believe you need Quad SLI unless you want the Triplehead thing, otherwise its a bit overkill :P

A shot of my black and silver rig running a heavily modified/enhanced version of Celestia ...




Celestia is a FREE space simulation that lets you explore our universe in three dimensions. Celestia runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. if you want to take a look ... Click Here ... it's fantastic and does all the resolutions your graphics card can do.

And many add-ons to modify and enhance it ... Click Here

Hey Paddy, how did you get it to look like that.
I just installed it and applied a couple of nebulas but nothing changes.
I also can't seem to find those nebulas i installed.
How do i find those things back? :?

royal, nice Scarface pictures. And nice World of Warcraft Collector's Edition box in the background(I'm a proud owner of one too, hehe). :p

Once I graduate, get a job and a new flat, I'm going to invest in a real nice computer desk and an uber comfy chair, I think. That stuff's nearly as important as the actual computer. :) My current desk is quite wide and deep, making it okay I guess, but it doesn't look particularly nice.

Well I did say it was heavily modified ... :wink:

The nebulas that you download are put in to their correct place in the universe ... you can't see them from the Earth ...
I have modified their place in space to get them closer to the Earth ...
I have also added high resolution textures to all the planets ...
I have also modified the Earths atmosphere to make thicker and kind of glow ...
I have also modified the Earth's clouds so that they rotate a little faster ... it looks better to me ...

Use the mouse wheel ... keep zooming out and out and out and out ... you can actually leave the galaxy ... :shock:

and at some point you should see the nebula ...

Richt click on any star or planet or nebula to fly through space straight to it ...
L and K speed up or slow down time ... J reverses it ...
There are a list of commands in the help in the top bar under "controls"

Also check the Solar system browser in the Navigation menu at the top ...

Check your PM's ... :wink:

Thanks mate. :wink:
It's an extremelly cool app indeed.
And it looks like when modified it also makes some really cool wallpapers. :D

Finally we got to see Paddy's "new" rig :D. Looks awesome mate.

Celestia sounds interesting, might give it a try.

Now I want one of these ... :roll: ... Click Me

huh, how the hell does that work. :?
Looks pretty funny. :D

How much does that cost?
