The new version of Famous Planets is here! This OXP adds planetary texts to the F7 screen. The text expand on the original descriptions and include elements from Oolite fiction. The OXP is designed to work in Tandem with the Povray Planets set that you can read all about in this thread.[1] If you have the Povray set then you also SEE the textures that I made. This version does not include the textures anymore.

I hope you have fun with it. I'm glad it's released.
