Some Planets not displaying

[matheissen]

Some of the planets are not displaying. I can see Jupiter and Venus but not Mars or Saturn. I've tried changing some of the various settings but to no effect. Any suggestions?

Does it never show, or is it just delayed? Wait for 10-30 seconds to be sure about that. I have also noticed that planet textures lately take several seconds to load after zooming in on the planet right after program launch. @10110111 I think you changed something in the texture loading, is that related? Maybe the planet texturres should be loaded at startup to be sure they are here without wait.

If what you're describing is the case here, then yes, most likely. Looks like the DSOs need to be somehow made lower-priority than most of other texture types, or just loaded on demand instead of the whole bunch in one go as seems to be now.

I will try it tomorrow.

I just figured it out. I had "Limit Magnitude" on the SSO display settings set to zero. When I changed it to 10, the planets all popped up. My bad. Thanks for looking at it. I have a pretty fast machine (i5-11xxxK and a RTX-3060) and I don't see any noticeable delay when turning these items on and off. In fact, I left "Limiting Magnitude" unchecked.
