Strange thing - I have to reduce the star luminosity back to it original value of 0.000525 (bolometric, not visual). In my 0.98 installation it gives correct temperatures on planets (not accounting for greenhouse and albedo).
I also forced atmosphere and clouds on some planets, so they are looking more realistic.
Rotational axis of the star have some fake values, just to make its equator coincide with orbits of planets, which is very likely. BTW, I found a bug in 0.98 - parameters PoleRA and PoleDec gives incorrect result, probably related with a known bug of wrong orientation of the equatorial grid. So our own Sun has incorrect rotation too. It is fixed for 0.981.
PS: I renamed this thread to TRAPPIST-1, because it is completely about this system. The new exoplanets thread is here.

Yes it is, but on the date of 0.98 release, only 3 planets were known in the system.
