Whats RC4 going to be like?

If there will be a RC4, it will probably just be bugfixes. If there isn't RC4, then we'll be on to 0.9.7.5

No, the next release is the official 0.9.7.4 release. Then 0.9.7.5 development begins.

I'm having an issue with hyperjumps, the ships just refuse to execute them. Ship orients itself on a trajectory perpendicular to the selected object and sets thrusters to maximum. That is all that happens. This happens in RC2 and RC3. I'm probably missing something obvious to all except me :)

I also found this issue:

The object is a star near sag A BH and is in front of the accretion disk.

Uncheck "ignore planemo" in the star browser.

Edit: Red Supergiants still have unrealistically large diameters.

Any chance of UI scaling. SE looks like sex in 2160p but the UI is really small

Config directory --> main.cfg ----> GUIPlanThumbSize 120 ----> Increase this value (example 200)

i appear to not be having luck bringing my solar systems to the RC3 update addon folder.
here is how my folders are structured (same as data folder)
https://www.dropbox.com/s....ng?dl=0
my objects show up in space engine but they "can not be found"
https://www.dropbox.com/s....ng?dl=0
i am assuming i don't need to have them in a pak file as i unpacked the catalogs in the date folder and they still work.
is there a basic guide or examples somewhere on how i should have the addons structured? i cant find anything.

Did you ever look in your log file? There are a lot of errors with your addon. SE even prints at which lines exactly errors are. The log is not only for program developer, but for addons developer too.

Quote Snowfall (

also this may be a bug.
why is one moon a dwarf moon when it is so large like its near by moon?
https://www.dropbox.com/s....ng?dl=0
RS 0-6-88935-693-946-2-52-102 2.D1

The dwarf moon have a diameter of 542 km, while the non-dwarf moon - 650 km. In SE, the difference between dwarf and non-dwarf moons are their size, the boundary passes at 600 km. You was very lucky to find such a system with a good boundary example!

Are your addons have HIP 114855 or HD 219449?
Btw there is an error in 91 Aqr system - the planet b revolves the main barycenter instead of companion A. Fixed.
Such errors can exist for other exoplanets in multiple star systems. Community can help to reveal them by inspecting all systems listed in data/catalogs/planets/ExoPlanetsSuns-bin.sc.

Thanks

Yes there is a bug with ships spawned in interstellar space. Ship must have some planet as reference body, then autopilot works fine. Just choose any random planet and set it as refbody.

It is a known issue, black hole shader can't take into account any object which is inside it's render radius (1000 * Rg).

Open the map and zoom out to the nearest stars level. Planemo systems are pink.

I just tried building the ship near a planet and choosing different and same planets for reference and target and still no hyperjump.

Is anyone else having issues with 91 Aquarii? As soon as I ported over my catalogs from RC 2, it turned into a blue hyper giant with an AppMagn of -14.38 as seen from Earth, and the console shows an Error saying "Star system "91 Aqr/PSI1 Aqr/HR 8841/GL 893.2/ADS 16633" have no companions".

Upon flying there, and repeatedly moving my addons>catologs folder back and forth between a temporary location and RC 3 shows two identically named stars and the multiple system jumps back and forth between a barycenter and a nearby star.

The weird part, I have absolutely NO custom catalogs of my own for the 91 Aqr system. wacko But what does seem to mess it up is that I have my own custom galaxies, and adding them causes 91 Aqr to behave weirdly.

Yap I am also using Kexitt's custom galaxies and get this error message:

I never has such bugs, and did nothing to fix them... Must be something on your side. Maybe enabled SLI/Crossfire? SE is not fully compatible with it.

Well, nothing changed on my end... I mean, there was a Windows 10 update... programming is weird.

Born too early to explore space... But just in time for Space Engine.

Something is wrong with '91 Aqr/PSI 1 Aqr/HR 8841/GL 893.2/ADS 16633 '

The error can be triggered by an innocuous script, for example, this:

Code

// RemoveTest.sc

Remove "Dysnomia" { ParentBody "Eris" }

No idea why.

But the real reason is in the 'ExoPlanetsSun.sc'. An old entry for '91 Aqr' must be deleted!

Code

Star    "91 Aqr/HD 219449/HIP 114855"
{
    RA      23.26472222
    Dec     -9.0875
    Dist    45.9
    AppMagn 4.21
    Class  "K0III"
    MassSol 1.4
    RadSol  11
    Teff    4665
    FeH    -0.03
    Age     3.56
}

Furthermore, this should be changed in the 'Exoplanets.sc'.

Code

Planet    "91 Aqr b"
{
    ParentBody     "91 Aqr A"  // not "91 Aqr"
    Msini           1018.24
    DiscMethod     "RadVel"
    DiscDate       "2003"
    Orbit
    {
  Epoch           2453472.1
  Period          0.4966567528
  SemiMajorAxis   0.7
  Eccentricity    0.027
  ArgOfPericen    177.3
    }
}

Extract the two files from 'Catalogs0974.pak', put 'ExoPlanets.sc' in 'data\catalogs\planets' and 'ExoPlanetsSuns.sc' in 'data\catalogs\stars'.
Make the changes to the scripts and it should work.

Or use the scripts in the attached .zip file, where I made the changes.

Planemos shouldn't be totally dark; they have plenty of light from other near-by stars and the galaxy to illuminate it. We could turn up the exposure to see the planets, not just the ambient light.

It's on the to-do list to implement ambient illumination by far distant stars, star clusters and galactic cores. :)

However, I do not think that there would be "plenty of light". Just see how dark the night sky is from Earth, and imagine that being all light there is to get. Of course there would be more if you're close to the Milky Way Centre, a globular cluster or a very bright star, but still.

Love SpaceEngine!

Very nice work on the skybox when you enter a black hole, there are no blurred stars anymore at the borders.

Just a few little things:
1. This asteroid left a bit of a strange impact crater :D

2. I miss the smooth mouse movement of RC2, that was a great feature. :'(

3. Is it possible to hide the sprites of black hols a bit earlier because this makes them look like there is a star in front of it until you are very close.
