Wow thanks Phunnie! I use your 5 million star add on with 0.990 and it works well! Will that be updated to include projected motion too? I hope so! Automatic download from Steam?Also, to add, I'm planning on adding a few versions of "simulated" futures and stellar motion using proper motion of stars. Basically, just catalogs of where stars would be x number of years into the future. Of course, the farther into the future it is, the less accurate it becomes, as calculating only with proper motion assumes the stars go in a straight line at constant velocity. Still a fun idea, nonetheless.
where is the new 30M database? I could run the 5M database easily with a 6GB VRAM and 16GB RAM. I still have the same video card but now have 32GB RAM. Not sure if 64GB is possible on this system (it would need 4 DIMMs.)30M database: Ok this is insane :shock::Obviously this is not for everyday use: it took ages to just to get to SE main menu. But it works .► Show Spoiler
I don't know how this could have possibly worked on my previous setup with only 16GB RAM .
So I guess if I want a 60M database I should go up to 64GB lol .
And consequent;y the full GAIA catalog with 1billion objects should require at least half a tera of RAM
Thanks! Just downloaded the 30M file. Should I delete and replace the old 5M file with it in the same folder? Also, was the old 5M file updated or is the one listed there the same one I've had since 0980?First post, scroll down to normal versions section and it's the last one in the list. Alternatively you can click the steam workshop link (also in the first post) and it'll link to a collection with a list of all of the options.
