A good number of users (myself included, using a radeon 9200, laugh now) with older graphics cards have a transparency problem with planets. It's only the planets with atmospheres (stars are fine, asteroids are fine). This glitch makes the surfaces of the planets transparent. (Yes, drivers are updated)



Here is what me and more than a few others see when we look at a Terran planet. Desert, Volcanic, Artic all the same, only different color see-thru.

Would it be possible to remove or disable some layers or transparency or reflectiveness so the planets look somewhat normal for us deprived ghetto graphics card users?

I am willing to post a reward for this (yes, $) details to follow. If anyone has any ideas, please post them here.
