Morning all Some people have experienced problems installing HEAVENSAT ( I did !) so here are detailed instructions. Download the following files: (1) OpenGL version of HEAVENSAT1.97 ( current version), file size 4.7 Mbytes (2) Microsoft VC80.CRT 0.6 Mbyes (3) Sky2000 Master Catalog V4 11.1 Mbytes. With your unzipper (WINZIP/WINRAR whatever- click on HEAVENSAT197gl.ZIP and extract to C:\Heavensat It should do this and you will have a directory structure C:\Heavensat\Heavensat197gl\ and all the files and created subdirectories will be in the sub directory "Heavensat197gl". Now a bit of fiddling - copy all the files in this directory(ie the one marked "Heavensat197gl" into C:\Heavensat . Having done this then delete the subdirectory Heavensat197gl. Now click on Microsoft VC80CRT.zip and extract to C:\Heavensat\ Click on Sky2000.zip and extract to C:\Heavensat. It should now all be okay but if not this is the directory structure I have on my PC: C:\HEAVENSAT with subdirectories BITMAPS, INI, LANGUAGES, MICROSOFT CVC80.CRT, STARCATALOGS, and TLE with the following files in the C:\HEAVENSAT directory: coin2.dll, conlines.dat, font.ttf, Heavensat.exe, mcnames, moon.dat, ms.dat, sats.dat, simage1.dll, sowin1.dll, wxadv.dll, wxbase26.dll and wxcore.dll The subdirectories contain : BITMAPS - lots of BMP and PNG files INI - Calcululations.ini, Chart.ini, Common.ini, Observer.ini Satellites.ini, Sky.ini, Stars.ini ( 7 in total) LANGUAGES - English.LNG, Russian.LNG MICROSOFT.VC80.CRT -- Microsoft VC80.CRT.manifest, msvcm80.dll, msvcp80.dll, msvcr80.dll STARCATALOGS - bsc.bin , sky2000.bin TLE - has a sample TXT file. Suggest you delete this and put in your own elements database. Extension TXT or TLE okay I put in the large SPACTRACK ~8500 version plus CLASSFD.TLE. All this is quicker to do than try and explain :-)) All should now run okay when you click on HEAVENSAT.EXE. Dont forget to set your coordinates and select the satellite TLE database you want. Cheers Greg PS Hope I havent made too many mistakes- still half asleep and havent had my breakfast yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
