Obscure commands that do seemingly nothing

What do the "SparseStarSystemsSearch" and "FindEarths" commands do?

You don't need them, those are debug variables.

Debug variables? Sorry, don't speak Russian ^^

Hi,

Is it possible to change the current date and time in SE? The always load in year 2518. I'd like to set the current date the same as my computer at startup and be able to set whatever the date I want. It should be interesting to do so for season exploring of the solar system or whatever else.

Is it possible?

Thank you!

Given that specific date set in the future, it seems that you are using SpaceEngine in Flight Simulator mode. That mode has a restriction for time settings, as it is meant to set a possible "Game" scenario where time goes only in one direction.
Time does not have restrictions in two cases:

When SpaceEngine is used in Planetarium mode. Go back to the main menu and select "Planetarium", then "Continue". With this mode you have full control of time features. You don't have access to controllable ships from there, though. I strongly suggest checking "Tutorial" at that point, as it explains how various commands and features work in SpaceEngine.

When in Flight Simulator mode, there's a cheat code that can be used from in-game console (~ key), TARDIS . This command will unlock Time controls in the Time/navigation toolbar.
