Space Engine - Procedural Universe Simulator

[Zombii]

You need the Data folder from 0.84 to use 0.9.
0.9 is not standalone.

Imagine how amazing this would look with a high resolution texture pack. My god.

Has anyone found this in the game yet? Neither VY nor Canis get me any search results at all.

That appears to have worked, thank you.

[CaF]

so far the furthest away object i found is ZWG 99.95.
192.343 Mpc away from sol(the sun).

[Uberman77883]

So how do I actually view other planets.

Firstly, everything in the background is black. There are no billions of stars like I see in other pictures.

Secondly, I can't go anywhere except zoom levels of the Earth. When I click on another star, I can't zoom on it. How do you do this?

Thirdly I can't go to planet surfaces, it just zooms in extremely close to the planet texture.

1. Go into objects options and turn on Procedural Stars and Planets

2. Tap G Twice

3. shift+G and move with the WASD keys, mouse wheel increases and decreases speed and hold Mouse 1 to look around

[Nasser]

This is fucking amazing. I feel a bit uneasy while playing it though, and I don't know why... I'm sort of in a state of awe, but then it also hammers down the realization of how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things...

Time for some more exploring.

Oh god I had [b]everything[/b] on procedural, and then I went into some giant clusterfuck of stars.

I crashed :v:

This thing has the Orion Nebula in it... It's fuzzy and lacks detail like Hubble's photos but you can definitely tell what it is

And now an eclipse caused by a gas giant, for 30 minutes the moon was in complete darkness:

A Planet with rings, nice, haven't seen any of those yet, just Gas Giants. It's hard to take a screenshot of a Gas Giant's rings from one of its moons since its moons are on the same plane as the rings usually

Set compatibility mode to XP. There's a problem with Vista/7 where instead of emptying out what's stored in memory but not being used anymore and filling it with newly explored stuff, it just fills up until *Crash*

Or something like that. Turning Procedural Stars off will help too. There's still thousands and thousands of stars all over the place, don't worry

All of my planets are featureless orbs of cloud and gray ground (Earth is the only one with water or green.)

Did you install it right?

First extract 0.84

Then copy 0.90 on it and overwrite.

[Zombii]

Or you can just download the mirror.

[editline]5th April 2011[/editline]

Also be sure to manually set your amount of VRAM in main.cfg.

[editline]5th April 2011[/editline]

And make sure that the texture fix is enabled if you're using an ATi/AMD card.

[Karmah]

Is the one on the front page from filesmelt include the update?

[Zombii]

Yes.

[Epic Fortune]

Still waiting on the Pulsar.....

[ief014]

PSR B1257+12

[Trafficman]

Texture fix?

[TheTalon]

I think I'm going to make a video, just random shots and slow flights through canyons, watching orbits and all that jazz... Might come out pretty nice
