Hi, I've been encountering this issue in 0.990:
When I use G to go to a planet, star or other body near a large black hole such that the black hole is clearly visible even while focused on that body (for example, go to any star or planet near the M 87 Central Black Hole or IC 1101 Central Black ...

Selection pointer works fine for me, but yes it seems that velocity vector does not. It's probably a bug.


Just a follow up on this Velocity Vector issue in simulation mode, has this been something mentioned to the developer as a possible bug for a possible fix?


It's on the to-do list, when ...

mattman9372 , your computer is very weak by today's standards and does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for running SpaceEngine. Your GPU, video memory, and RAM are all insufficient. Even web browsing would probably get laggy on that system. I'm sorry to say that running SpaceEngine on it ...

...what is wrong with the clouds in that screenshot?

Do not buy an old card right now, it's not worth it.

For under $400, your choice is between the RTX 3060 and the RX 6650 XT. The 3060 has more VRAM, better ray tracing performance, and access to better features (DLSS, NVENC, etc.), but it's also somewhat slower and more expensive than the 6650 XT ...

I read somewhere that the GTX 2060 was just a product refresh...

No, it was a totally new GPU and much faster than the 1060.

The 1060 will work just fine with the new version of SE right?

Yes, the 1060 will work fine.

and the GTX 1060 too I'd say since it's basically the same card with a new model number.

No it isn't, not even close.

A 1050Ti pushing a decade old is more than sufficient, you don't need to worry about a 2060 failing.

5.7 years is not what I'd call pushing a decade.

After this new update is on, will be the gtx 2060 still enough to run the simulator?

Yes

longname , stop trying to get people to have off-topic discussions with you in this thread, and stop accusing people of things.

I realize the driver may be old, but I am given to understand that SE .9.8.0 will cease to work with newer versions

The download page clearly states that ...

I see the difference on the last picture... but I can't tell what the picture is actually of?

It's a side view of the Fire Dragonfly spacecraft.

Well, now you can ban me.

Ok, done

And you did?!

That doesn't even make sense Please work on improving the quality of your posts and keeping discussion on topic. I'm not going to ask you again.
