Don't really know where else to put this, so its going here. Sorry if there's already a thread for it, I did search but couldn't find anything.

I've been using SpaceEngine for a while now, first on version 0.9.8 since 2017 and upgrading to 0.9.9 in December last year. I found a tonne of interesting stuff in 0.9.8, but obviously all the procedural objects are completely different in the new version, so I've just been using both. But as I experimented with what I could do on 0.9.9 I realised there were a load of features I'd love to have on 0.9.8, primarily the ability to export topographic maps of planets.

Is it possible to export topographic maps of procedural planets generated in 0.9.8 like you can do in 0.9.9? If not, is there a patch to allow me to do this? At the very least is there a tool that allows me to import system saves from 0.9.8, even if they do lose the topography, so I can export the data for a version of these planets?

As I say I have a load of stuff that I found ages ago on 0.9.8 that I would love to have maps of. If anyone could help me out or point me in the right direction then that'd be a huge help.

Greetings all, 

I'm a new user of SpaceEngine, and want to explore our local universe, as 
well as create SciFi scenes. 

Since the '80s I've enjoyed using Bryce, Hexagon, Carrara, VUE, C4D, Blender, ZBrush
to create SciFi scenes & animations, and want to integrate them with SpaceEngine.

Hello everyone,

I have recently downloaded Space Engine and to explore all reaches of our known universe within game. I really enjoy Space games such as Elite Dangerous even though i am taking a break from it currently. I am glad to be part of this community and sharing my screenshots and ideas with you all.

Sam D. Jones here,

Been using Space Engine for a few months now.  Exploring in it is fun, but I got it mainly to serve as a replacement for Celestia in bringing fictional star systems to life.  The program is gorgeous.

Hi! I've had Space Engine on another computer a few years ago, and now I have it on this one. I just wish they had wormholes. I also wish I could find some current downloads of Star Trek ships for the latest free version of SE.

Hello! My name is Alex. I am interested in astronomy and science fiction (in particular, space travel). There is a lot of interesting information on this forum which, I hope, will help in the development of my hobby. I want to find guys on the forum with whom I can communicate according to my interests.
