OK
Thank you for this answer. And thank you for the link, as a newcomer i didn't see the topic yet. Now i'll check it regularly.

I need another information, well I sould say another way to display the eye-fish. We own a planetarium with a "little problem", that is our videoprojector has 90° orientation, that mean that the audience is watching the ceiling like they were watching the screen with the portrait orientation.

Is there a possibility to rotate the eye-fish by 90° ? is it already possible in a script ? or maybe this would be a part of a next update ....

Have not tried it myself with the new version, but I used to run .9.8.0 all the time in portrait mode. You may have to set it for windowed mode first, then input the window dimensions in portrait mode (i.e., 1080 wide by 1920 high), then you can switch back to full screen mode.

hiI've tried it. I set the screen in portrait in windows 10 screen parameters. I didn't tried it with our planetarium with duplicate screen. I have to try.
I'll tell you, if this intersting you.

Yes, obviously you need to set your operating system and/or graphics driver to use portrait mode, but I was talking about this setting in Space Engine:

If it doesn't look right, and you don't have your particular resolution available under "Custom Display Resolution", click on Windowed (Apply), edit the resolution numbers if necessary (click Apply again). Then you can click on Fullscreen and Apply again. Should be good to go.

Yes, that is a way to manage a portrait display. You can go further by creating in the video card driver a virtual screen like 1080x1080, choose portrait (or reverse portrait) in windows, and so you can use the full screen option in SE to display the fulldome correctly.

Hello everyone, I'm FiunchClick from Spain, new to the forum.
Here goes my suggestion: how about a star or a solar system comparison feature? The idea is to have a visual comparison of sizes, colours, distances, etc. and a side to side view of other, less visual, parameters (such as mass, spectral type, temp...) I am referring to a comparison between two unrelated systems, not between the elements of a system (thar already exists).

By the way, Space Engine is great, I'm really enjoying it! Congratulations

Hi
I have a suggestion ... and a question, so I post both here:
1- my question is very simple, and maybe the answer is in the manual (but didn't find it till now), is there a way to "pause" a script with a command and resume it with another (the same?) command? or an keyboard action?
2- My suggestion is you 'd think about a random functionality in SE to generate random flight, and you should add filters to sort them: radius from seeing point, from earth,..... select only planets, stars, moons, nebulea, speed travel etc, duration of flight, possibility to choose several options (planets + nebulea .... ),  go back to the starting point and play it again....

A simple suggestion, place compass cardinal points (N, S, E, W) on the surface of each planet so we know what direction we are traveling when we move around!

Might I suggest bringing back colored diffraction spikes? I've noticed that the diff. spikes in 0.990 no longer match the color of the host star, always appearing their default color (usually a plain white) no matter size/type/brightness. Changing the saturation only changes the saturation of the default color of the spikes. Perhaps there could be a slider that changes the saturation of diffraction spikes to match the host star's color?

I added a comparison of the Antares system (one red and one blue star) between 0.980 and 0.990 using the Classic diff. spikes, as well as a screenshot of Beta Lupi (a blue giant) in 0.990 using the EVEolution spikes with saturation set to maximum. Appears as a garish orange instead of a striking blue. It looks blue in 0.980 with the same settings.

(I didn't know if this is a glitch or not, and opted to post it as a suggestion. If this is the wrong place, let me know!!)

I found a way to "pause" the script, so don't care about that request. But you should think about a random tour with filters to create unique flight.
So long....

I see transparent/see-through planets and stars, please help, no textures, no details, its just transparent and in stars its just dispersed light like a nebulae.

hi
I'm also a new member, but i think you've posted in the wrong place. Anyway, hope you'll find a way the fix this weird thing ....

You should not post your question in three different threads. All it takes is one thread.
Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.990 would have been the right thread for it.

alright, sorry.

This could be placed at the top of the screen as part of the HUD, like this:

And it would only need to activate when you're within a particular fraction of a planet's radius from its surface.
