Okay as above the question is, what size limit do the textures for planets have?

Probably the same as any other nif (so the same as ships).
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

No no, the texture limit is bc-wise and some older graphic cards dont have the ability to show them. but when the texture is above the bc limit it wont show. Doing a nice earth texture at the moment. nasa pictures forever!

You are lucky that in space, all directions are relative. Otherwise, I would've said that Australia is upside down, lol.

Good though.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

"Beyond the rim of the star-light
My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."
