Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

xenosteel, the solution to the problem was not mine. It is from the user 'WumboWise' from the SpaceEngine Discord channel. I just made a copy here for people not on Discord.

JackDole's Universe 0.990

That's pretty much true. The two moons orbit the planet at the same speed as the planet orbits the sun. (88,065 days.) As a result, one planet is always between the sun and the planet, but the other is always on the side of the planet facing away from the sun. That is why he has an eternal solar ecl...

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990

Is this a known issue?
It's a known problem.
But I don't know when it will be fixed.

Science and Astronomy Questions

With my calculator I have slightly different values:
1.03599996 m/s = 0.10560652 g
My calculator may be a little inaccurate.

I use Speedcrunch.

Science and Astronomy Questions

SpaceEngine gives 0.14 parsecs for a black hole of 1.5 billion solar masses. If I do the math myself, I get 0.14360755 parsecs. I changed the function a little and I entered now this function in my calculator: gBH(r;M) = (G*M*mSol)/r^2*1/(sqrt(1-(G*M*mSol/(c^2*r)))) (mSol = 1.9891e30 kilograms solar...

Then it seems right. Right on the horizon, about 0.14 parsecs, I have 10.67590883 g. Much the same as in your illustration.

Watsisname, okay, I think I got it. (Possibly!)
For a black hole of 1.5 trillion solar masses and a distance of 0.49 parsecs, I have a gravitation of 0.87118334.
Can you possibly check that?

Yes, but what is the other r, like the r[sup]2[/sup]?

Is that the distance from the center of the black hole in which I want to calculate the g-forces?

And if so, which units do I use? Parsec, light years, kilometers?

(Sorry, but I'm not a mathematician!)

Science and Astronomy Questions

I know that G is the gravitational constant and I assume that M is the mass of the black hole. But what do you mean by r[sub]s[/sub]. The upper r in the square root expression? It's so small I can't read it. Then what would the other three r be?

To be honest, I don't know how that is possible either. But fact is, the bigger a black hole, the lower the gravity on the 'surface'.
For example, there was the theory that the whole universe is a black hole! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_hole_cosmology

Now it begs the question, what kind of star do you use to light it up? Hmmmmm?
A 'G2 V' Star.

Science and Astronomy Questions

How do I calculate the gravitation at the Schwarzschild radius of a black hole? I tried to create a 'Birch Planet'. I have read that the black hole must have about 1.5 trillion solar masses so that the gravitation at the Schwarzschild radius is the same as on earth. https://space-engine.fandom.com/w...

I assume you mean the giant planet around the huge, irresponsibly huge black hole?
No. Because if SE 0.980 such a planet is not possible. It would only appear as a gas planet. If it wasn't totally glitchy anyway.
