General suggestions for SpaceEngine

Could you make auto horizon on planets slightly faster? It currently takes nearly 8 seconds before the camera has finished turning, and during those 8 seconds I have to wait, and there's no way to speed it up. I know this could be seen as nitpicking but on the other hand I don't think it would take...

I had not considered doing that. I'm not sure what SpaceEngineer's policy on selling prints is, and I'm fairly busy most of the time. However, I would be happy to PM you with links to full-res versions of some of the images for you to download and print. If you know of anyone else who would be inter...

I normally use Paint.NET, which I'm much more familiar with. However, if the image gets too big then I might have to resize it with Photoshop.

I thought that it would be interesting to create posters using SpaceEngine images, as that isn't something I had seen before. Below are several of the posters that I have finished. All of these are 8K resolution or higher - open the image in a new tab for full size. Post your SpaceEngine posters bel...

New planet classification

Are "lava worlds" something that could be implemented? I found a planet whose mean temperature is the melting point of silicate rock. [size=100]Theoretically, its surface would probably be liquid. If so, what classification would they be?[/size]

General questions about SpaceEngine

Is there already a feature implemented in 0.980 that can allow users to change the size of on-screen text? I often render high-res photos, and this would be a useful feature to have.

If not, is this going to be implemented in a future version?

Troubleshooting and bug reports - SpaceEngine 0.9.8.0

Not sure if this has been answered before, but the texture on the surface of my neutron stars doesn't render correctly. It just looks like a pure white ball.

I am running SpaceEngine version 0.980 with NVidia graphics.
