I got a new computer, I can render planets almost instantly now, Plus I can sit in the center of the galaxy without it crashing. Millions of stars.
For recording videos in this, press shift + \ to activate frame time before you record, making the game wait for each frame to be saved before moving onto the next one.
Set the screenshot format to TGA (these are very quick to compress compared to the default jpegs)
With frame time on, the default framerate is a constant 24, but you can change that.
Just find the first image in virtual dub, set the video>framerate to 24 and export as an avi with your favorite codec (mine is ffv1 via ffdshow) and you're done!

Also, set the gui mode to 0 to remove the HUD.

It's nice to know that my 1000th unarchived post was an informative one.
I found Gallifrey. :v:

Post specs and welcome to facepunch.
So I was exploring the universe and I chose a random speck of light in the distance to fly to. I found myself at a quaint little selena.

After exploring some of the mountains, I turn to look up at the sky and I see this:

I nearly shat myself seeing an object that big so close up.
Also, another screenshot from a distant moon:

Found another space exploration game/sim, [url]http://pioneerspacesim.net/about[/url]
Looks nice. Dev has plans to make it into full fledged game it seems.
If anyone wants to make a topic, go ahead :v:

i playing PioneerSpaceSim for quite some time, it's remake of Elite: First Encouters

but be warned it's unfriendly to modern gamers due to use of original controls ...

thanks for replying, sorry for being gone two weeks :P
I'm on an HP Envy 15 with ATI Mobility Radeon 5830, 4 GB RAM, 2.2GHz Core i5, Windows 7 64 bit SP1. I should mention it can easily run things like Shift 2 and AC Brotherhood...
Hello thur...when I start up space engine (I got it from somewhere else, not this link), it freezes when loading andromeda whilst initializing galaxies. Help?
Found two galaxies stacked on top of each other.

Couldn't you thumbnail those or something
First shot is some Random Moon, I believe. Second shot is Reach and it's moon/Dwarf Planet Turul.

More, First one is Reach, second is Harvest. Tried to get them as accurate as possible from the descriptions from the books. Knda hard to be accurate because Surface Geometry is randomized. So I mostly focused on Orbits and rotation.

Anyone else has problems when approaching a planet? I mean, when the program has to load/create the surface?
Halp!

Yes, Ive got exactly same problem, as you described it, though I fixed it by doing this:
Yes.
By doing what, przyjaciel?
Reviving awesome thread
also a cube of stars...

Quoting an old post, but Space Engine is almost getting detail like that with detail textures

A video I made for one of my favourite lectures. If you don't want to listen to the philosophy or the tunes, probably best to mute it and listen to your own music.
Wanna know what would rock with this game? Being able to land on a plane and exit the spacecraft, to wander around in it, even if the spacecraft is just rendered as some grey cube.
Also multiplayer, galactic bumper car action!
Just downloaded this for the first time today.
HOLY SHIT this rocks so much oh my god
Can you place your own objects ?
[QUOTE=StaT;33165358]Can you place your own objects ?[/QUOTE]
If you edit the contents inside [i]SpaceEngine 0.94\data\catalogs\[/i] you can
i would wait with editing now till 0.95 is out cause from what i remember author told me he is going to change some stuff in the file formats and also add better description-manual and features for the community modifications ...
The changes in 0.95 look awesome.

Seems like your wish might become reality soon.
From the next release's changelog:
[quote]Loading of spaceships models (experimental)[/quote]
Also his to-do list is simply amazing, if he manages to complete his to-do list, this game will be the most awesome game ever.
I mean, look at this:
[quote]Server database (work in progress)
Network system
Loading of models (spaceships, buildings, etc.)
Physics: collision detection, Newtonian physics, jet propulsion, aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, orbital flight physics, hyperspace flight physics
Spaceship builder with physical testing of construction
Cockpit devices: orbital transfer calculator, hyperflight calculator, programmable autopilot, etc.
Docking system, remote control of units
Economics, harvesting of resources, refueling, building, etc
Weapons, combat system
Destruction of spaceships and buildings (modelling of thousands of fragments on the GPU), animation of explosions (gas dynamics simulation on GPU(?))
Giant alien astroengineering constructions
Procedural life (?)
Procedural civilizations (?)
Internal structure of ships and buildings (indoor-engine)[/quote]
And this is just part of his to-do list, here's the full thing: [url]http://spaceengine.ucoz.ru/forum/21-11-1[/url]
[quote]Giant alien astroengineering constructions[/quote]
Yes
[editline]10th November 2011[/editline]
There needs to be a kind of "screensaver mode" where it randomly picks a body, flies to it (at double-G speed) and rotates around it for a while, then flies to a new one.

No more inhibitor clusters. :C
