Maybe one day Space Engine will have something like this:

All I see is Digitarium:  #NotGoogleEarth . Interesting to see where it'll go though.

I didn't download it because it doesn't show exoplanets   Have you ever used ExoExplorer?  It keeps the list of exoplanets up to date, what did you think of their terrain output? Resolution is limited to 1024x768.

Also will the new version of SE show sky colors like these?  I hope we can still see purple skies like this!
I also like this- had to up the exposure to see it properly

Have you ever used ExoExplorer?

Yes, I actually recently downloaded it and was trying it out. It reminds me of the early days of SE, around v040 or so.

Also will the new version of SE show sky colors like these?  I hope we can still see purple skies like this!

Of course! They will be more rare though, so they'll be more of a treat.

Oh I was wondering about that.  I like that they keep the exoplanet list up to date by downloading the data directly from a website (plenetarybiology.com), along with all known info on that planet, do you think SE will be able to do that at some point?  And then autogenerate the terrain based on the known info about the planet?

The quality of the terrain on ExoExplorer isn't on the same level as SE though is it?  And you cant explore the terrain in 3D using a simulator the same way you can with SE?

do you think SE will be able to do that at some point?  And then autogenerate the terrain based on the known info about the planet?

I could imagine the program doing that in the future, but not in the next few releases. Such a feature would make Steam the ideal platform for SE, however, since instead of manually downloading and installing the update packets or patches from the game site, Steam would automatically update your game for you each time you launch it with an internet connection.

he quality of the terrain on ExoExplorer isn't on the same level as SE though is it?

As I said, it is broadly similar to early SE graphics (this is from version 0.8.5.0):

I think we've been pretty spoiled by SpaceEngineer lately with the graphic developments in the latest releases of SE. I'm sure if I had discovered exoExplorer before I found SE, I would have considered it quite amazing.

And you cant explore the terrain in 3D using a simulator the same way you can with SE?

Yes you can, but it isn't as glamorous as SE.

Yes and the resolution is a bit limited.  You cant journey through the entire known universe either

Expect about the same visual appearance as version 0880 for solar system planets,

Alright, thanks!

Propulsion, Some people on YT even managed to combine space engine and outerra with success somehow (all in one)Dont ask me how though. Never tried it before.

Is "YT" YouTube? Anyway, I wish I could learn more about that, I also wish that outerra had the other planets in it.

Yes, YT stands for Youtube. 
I dont think outerra will have more planets...like ever.

It's video editing. They just crossfade from Outerra to SpaceEngine when they get above the atmosphere.

Hello,my first post here. Simple question. I downloaded some planets' Solar System HD add-on, then I put them in the relative "addons/SolarSysHD" folder as described (0.9.8beta). I tried a fly on Earth but it look like did not change anything than before.
1 did I missed something?
2 Am I wrong?
Now I go to get a look into the old 0.9.7.2  to compare....

Goodbye

Sorry, I can't edit last message. Apllying "E"patch, surface of Earth looks changed. Maybe I fixed it.

LucaBono, HD and Ultra addons set texture resolution for some planets at 200/300 meters per pixel at best. Depending on where you are on the surface, this may be difficult to perceive.

Hello, Mosfet. Yes I have read it but just wondering. Did it, running 0.9.7.2 (on the left) and 0.9.8e (on the right) at same time. Difference is clear. Planning to download Earth UltraHD textures.

I see. It would be better to have a screenshot of 0.980 with no patch, and a copy of its se.log, which is in spaceengine /system folder, to see what really happens.

My first impression of SpaceEngine..  its vast and is feature packed and incredible BUT.   I don't like to complain, but i downloaded the 18gb texture pack, and its working however the actual texture resolution at any LOD on any planet is very very underwhelming. they are blurry and appear to be limited to something that looks like 1024x1024 resolution for each level... having an 8GB modern graphics card i would have really like to have made use of it and see planets with 8K textures for each LOD....  i used to run a space sim called celestia about 15-20 years ago and to be honest once i had downloaded high res Mars textures for it, it blew space engine out of the water. That aside space engine appears to be an amazing software and i would buy the new version on steam.

I also looked into the process of creating texture addons, and it looks way to complex for me. Maybe future versions will somehow have a system that makes the object textures more accessible for modding without complex packing and processing. Reason being i would love to run the textures through AI upscaling software to add additional detail and size. If this was an easier process on the new space engine 0.9.9? it would be a god send.
