Yeah, ray tracing is indeed an awesome way to do things, but the hardware to allow it to be widely implemented in high-resolution real-time graphics just didn't exist until the advent of Nvidia's RTX cards, which are still not that great at it and which are used by only a small fraction of the popu...

31361 For some reason that last pak file doesn't work in 0.9.9.0 Huh? It worked fine for me back in ~ 30 july (or around that date). I have not checked again since then & after latest mini patches. 31361 I do have an updated probes pak with pbr effects though. So this pak works or is it just th...

In the main SE menu you can only navigate with the mouse. While this is obvious we should also have the option to navigate with the arrow (and tab) keys and select with the enter key. Yes everyone has a mouse nowadays but this is standard functionality in many if not most apps and OSs.

30981 If I recall correctly SpaceEngineer thought of a solution, similar to that of Google Earth If I recall correctly (and since I happened to be around in the old forums from the early days of SE development) the initial idea was to implement a procedural augmentation technique using a special re...

Thanks delt4 , ! Although the difference doesn't look significant from far away, it actually is: I superimposed both data in SE and Voyager 1 was separated from its old self by 12+ light minutes so more than 1 AU and Voyager 2 around 10+ light minutes again more than 1 AU :o. I include the new data ...

First you will need the Voyager models from this pak (Thanks to Doctor of Space). Download it and put it in the SpaceEngine\addons folder. 2nd put the VoyagerProbesPositions.pak in the SpaceEngine\addons folder. Start SE and choose Voyager01 or Voyager02 from the Ctrl+F3 Spacecrafts\Other Menu. Pres...

OMG I can't imagine what's next: Arabic?
Also we need Bajoran, Hutese, Klingon and Elvish

30760 That ISS was random sml edits to the above linked model, doubt I still have them. http://68.media.tumblr.com/2b3f6d53fb5e5368f98b230156e0b532/tumblr_ngu424kGQI1r3i2kko2_r1_500.gif Jokes aside how difficult it would be for a complete rookie like me to transform it again?

Does anyone know if these two lines are recognizable orbit parameters from SE?: Epoch (UTC): 21 July 2019 23:02:48 orbit number at epoch: 2064 I am trying to sync the ISS with its real position but it is either a few thousand kms ahead or behind its real position (but on the correct track). ...

30724 Happy Apollo 11 landing anniversary! Small update of today: I was going to reply posting about the lack of shadows and how apparent their absence is but then I read the blogspot and I can't tell you how happy and excited I am that you have put this in the highest priority list - Thank You Spa...

Is it possible to make a lower poly count model? This one is nice but a bit heavy hit on fps.

30540 What is relevant is brightness of pixels which obscures the sun. This is how lens flare algorithm works: it is based on brightness/color. This makes them easily take correct color on sunset or while viewing from planetary rings. But adds issue with very bright obscuring object (another star, ...

30477 If Steam goes out of business one day, how will we be able to run SE? If Steam goes out of business one day, I doubt our main concern will be if we can run SE. 30477 Also, does the 20-25 dollars we paid for SE give us all future versions for free (one-time fee) or will there be a charge for e...
