Thank you. I've tried this. Looks very good close to the camera:



It would be nice to add some micro textures for larger distance as well.

Thx!

That's sadly not possible: MicroTextures are only for close views, not for a view distance of over a few kilometers.
But you could install higher-resolution textures for Ceres (like the high-res textures available here), or you could create one on your own. The Ceres addon linked in the addon descrption has textures up to level 7.

Yes, I installed it.

Sadly I'm not familiar with the global highly detailed textures making for a whole celestial body yet. Maybe someday...

That's sadly not possible due to some D3D9 limitations/restrictions. MicroTextures are only for close views, not for a view distance of over a few kilometers.

Maybe someday we could use micro textures for a larger distances...

there's a small typo in read me file

Installation:

1. Install the required addons (see above)
2. Extract the Textures folder into Orbiter's root directory.
3. In your <Orbiter Root>\Condif\MicroTex.cfg file, add the following to the end of the file:

should be a "Config"
I was looking a "Condif" for quite some time
