Search Earth L11/L14

[Columbia42]

I'm looking for the Earth L11/L14 textures mentioned here and on the Orbiter beta SourceForge project. Does anyone know where I could find them?

 

[TSPenguin]

You can get them via BitTorrent here.

How do I open the file? Do I need some sort of program?

 

[TSPenguin]

You can find information in the FAQ of the very site I linked to and on Wikipedia.

I've downloaded the Earth L11/L14 file and now I'm trying to download the Moon L11 file but when I open it in my torrent downloading program it just says 0% downloaded, ETA: infinity. What's going on?

 

[TSPenguin]

Do you connect to the tracker properly?

 

[Izack]

Does Earth.cfg need to be edited to accommodate the higher resolution?

 

[TSPenguin]

No, MaxPatchResolution should already be 14.

Then I have a little problem...
CTD in every scenario on a fresh 2006P1 install. :shrug:

EDIT: Derp, wrong version of Orbiter.

Do you connect to the tracker properly?

How do you do that?

I get no download as well which I think is because my ISP blocks Torrents.

Your bittorrent client does this on his own. Since the orbiter torrents use public trackers (very large ones), it can happen that they are offline for a short period of time.
If you can't connect to the tracker, it can't send you the addresses of other people in the swarm and you have no one to download from.

Working fine for me (currently 5 seeds, 6 peers).

However, the list of trackers doesn't have empty lines between tracker entries, and this may cause some clients to not recognize the entries.

List of trackers that should be in the torrent:

udp://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

http://tracker.publicbt.com:80/announce

http://tracker.openbittorrent.com/announce

udp://tracker.openbittorrent.com:80/announce

Thanks guys. BTW, does the torrent-downloading program have to be open all the time during the download or will it automatically download even if it's closed?

Depends on the torrent client. Its process needs to be loaded and running in the system, but it can download files in background, without window open all the time. It may create a tray icon to indicate status of the download, or it can be run as a system service, but as I said, it depends on the used client.

(BTW. 2 seeds, 4 peers for the Moon ATM, but I'm neither seeding nor downloading, only checking)

Just wondering, I downloaded Earth level 11/14 over a year ago. Has it changed since then?

 

[orb]

Has it changed since then?
