Saturn's rings again

[ogg]

hi, nice to see 1.2.4, been playing with it a while. Just in case it was thought that the rings problem had been done away with though, here's a screenshot:


ugly, eh? Rings too faint and those spikey shadow bits shift and flicker when you look at it from different angles.

Graphics card is a 16meg generic job for a laptop.

is there currently a way to disable ring shadows? I remember chris suggesting that this would be an option in the future... anyone know a hack for this?

thanks

Same with S3 Savage on a Latop under 9x.

Any way to deactivate the ring shadow, Chris?

Thanks,
Axel

Similar problem displaying Saturn's rings. Seems to display rings as if they were solid bodies, ie the half farthest from the sun is dark.
