HELP ME - (Spinning Ship) Dissapears & Reappears as it s

When playing the PC Oolite... the ship (when Spinning) Disappears & Reappears as it spins when I first start the game and we get to the first (Load New Commander) Screen. Could it be that I don’t have the latest version of the game?

(1) I downloaded the Base install from:
http://nic.dnsalias.com/oolite-1.63gust ... -win32.exe

(2) ...and then I updated it with the following update:
http://nic.dnsalias.com/OoliteUpdate-re ... 060315.exe


(3) PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS THE LATEST VERSION. OR SHALL I JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THE 1.65 VERSION FROM:
http://prdownload.berlios.de/oolite-pc/ ... -v1.65.exe

Now Im a bit confused... if I am to do download the 1.65 version (No. 3), then how will I update the game when new announcements/patches are released? I read somewhere that there are NOT going to be anymore full game releases and just the updates and that’s why I did the No. 1 & 2 mentioned above.

... Oh no... I just clicked upon the site (mentioned in No. 3) and I also saw a Oolite with textured planets (Is Oolite-1.65-tp4.exe..... an update? as it is much smaller in size)... Shall I download that one or the regular one (OoliteInstall-v1.65.exe) and which one shall I do first?

I really wish there was an IDIOT'S GUIDE to installing this on your PC (just like the one on JJFFE page) for us NOT SO EXPET people.

NOW IM REALLY CONFUSED..... What shall I do?

The answer is (3) http://prdownload.berlios.de/oolite-pc/ ... -v1.65.exe

The others are earlier revisions, and the Oolite-1.65-tp4.exe is an experimental branch, that could be said to be in alpha development.
