Not had any problems using Xbox 360 controllers here. Have you made sure the controller is actually working within Windows itself? You can go to Game Controllers in the Control Panel, assuming its there it'll be listed and you can make sure the sticks and button presses are registered. If it isn't picking the controller up, go to Device Manager check its there and try uninstalling and plugging it back in again. An Xbox 360 WWT client would be awesome, but at the moment its a matter of hooking

Figured it out, if you set a slide as the master slide the audio from that will play throughout. :-)

I've been playing around with creating a few tours. But I'm having a bit of an issue with the background music, is it possible to play a single track through out the entire tour? At the moment it seems I have to manually break it down into individual tracks for each slide which is a fair bit of work. Am I missing something?

[quote user="jmcarrillo31068"] Thanks. If I'm understanding you correctly, I can copy the guided tour files from on my PC onto a server, then edit the user.config file on each client PC to look on the server for files, so that there will be only one copy of the tour files. Using this approach, can I run the same tour on multiple PCs simultaneously, without any sharing difficulties? If I want to do setup WWT for use on a network is there anything else that I need to do or do differently

By default the Tours live in the WWT cache folder. Usually something like: C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Local\Microsoft\WorldWideTelescope\tourcache Copying them over will do the job. However you might also want to look at sharing the WWT folder over the network. I've put mine on my server box so that all cached images are also stored there to speed things up when on my other machines. You can do this by going to <your username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Research and editing the user.config file

Just a quick down on my findings from running WWT on W7 Beta. The in box Radeon graphics drivers (at least with the 3870) seem to cause flickering with moving around with images overlayed, this can be fixed by using the newer drivers on ATI's website. However with an Intel 950GMA, both the in box drivers, and the updated ones that showed up on Windows Update suffer from flickering, this seems to be across the whole system when running 3D, not just WWT however.

Yup this is an aircraft's navigation lights. In the area there's a few more of them, all in the same direction (although switching from wing tips to the tail). The black in the centre of the "object" is caused by the telescope's secondary mirror reflecting in the primary mirror (you can just make out traces of the spider which holds it in place), which often happens with a bright object or when an object is out of focus with reflecting telescopes.

Hello Alex, for starters there's no defence against most cosmic things that can get us. The only warning we get from a gamma ray burst is when we detect the same gamma rays that would wreck our atmosphere. However at the moment there's no stars close to us that could give off that much energy, this sort of event is probably something in the region of 1 on average every billion years. Large asteroids or comet impacts aren't much to worry about either, again very rare, maybe a big one every

Hello Dom96, this was due to Io casting its shadow upon Jupiter at the time. The four large moons around Jupiter do this quite often.
