Celestia/Wish List

This page is obsolete. See the page Bugs and Feature Requests.

Wish List items are very unlikely to be implemented if they aren't on the | SourceForge list. If you are interested in any of the features listed below, you must take the responsibility of making sure they're requested on | SourceForge.


 * 1) Make a game based on Celestia... Mostly Harmless project stalled...            Star Control! The next version of Star Control!
 * 2) Someone make an editor that allows us to tweak Celestia more easily and make worlds of our own. I'm a real lazy pig and all the .ssc generators I've checked out so far don't do a real good job.
 * 3) I have some worldwind cache-packs (folder with 50/200/800/3200/12800 little pictures). renaming to celestia-style should be no problem. but celestia starts 2x1x512pixel - and worldwind begins 10x5x512.
 * 4) Merging the goodness of World Wind, Celestia and Google Earth together!
 * 5) Make a recopilation of high resolution add-ons in a single pack, with most realistic data from official databases periodically updated. An auto-update could be great in order to manage the downloads of a large pack. Or it could be shared in a P2P network. Make a real 3D universe is now possible!
 * 6) Why not space agencies improve more this great project?
 * 7) Let Celestia include Google Earth and automatically run it when it detects the user wanting to zoom in on Earth (maybe bad idea)...
 * 8) Better promotion of this great and spectacular program (better promotion = biggest community = more developers = faster development of Celestia)
 * 9) cooperation with space agencies and another scientific institutions (universities, observatories etc.)
 * 10) Better main website (more screen shots, promo video, news about future versions, info from this with pictures + +, info about Celestia Wiki) and maybe new address
 * 11) Maybe (in far future) some spectacular computer benchmark based on Celestia (if Celestia engine needs more developers it's a good "bait" ;)
 * 12) Basic version with better textures and models (and version for "low end" computers)
 * 13) More configurations options in user interface
 * 14) HDR Rendering as soon as possible and more graphic options for modern GPUs


 * 1) I believe that an educational web-based interactive game/simulator would really be beneficial.  I am a software engineer who would be interested in such a collaboration. prosetto@msn.com
