Contineo, using Luminosity, AbsMagn and AppMagn simultaneously is redundant. They all define the star's luminosity, so you must use only one of these quantities. SE simply ignores AbsMagn and AppMagn if Luminosity is present, ignores AppMagn if AbsMagn is present and Luminosity is not, and uses AppMagn and Dist to calculate luminosity, if Luminosity and AbsMagn are not present.

    Contineo, inclination of orbit of 55 CnC A and B is real, or some random number? If it random, I suggest to change it to something near 50-55°, to make binary star orbits complanar to 55 CnC A planetary system. Hubble has measured inclination of 55 CnC d (53°), and 55 CnC e is transit planet with inclination of 81°. So we might expect that inclinations of other planets in the system must be near that range, probably closer to 53°. I have modified script for other planets to make them have inclination of 53°, and calculated real masses as M = Mmin / sin i.

    The "ParentBody" parameter on the catlong 55 Cnc planets would need too be modified to "55 Cnc A" instead of just "55 Cnc" Here's the modification below.

    The planets should also have the A before their letter designation. Ex: 55 Cnc Af

    Hi, once again. I was hoping someone could point out an error for me. I've been working on the 40 Eridani System. Yet again, another single obstacle is preventing it's completion. Here are the scripts.

    For some reason, the white drawf star, Keid B is being displayed as the same spectral type of Keid A; an orange dwarf. I can't seem to fix this problem. Can anyone help?

    Yes, of course. I merely overlooked that parameter. It's already been fixed.

    Thanks for your suggestion. It's been corrected to a 50 degree inclination.

    I should have figured. One of these quantities have been commented out on the posted addons and modifications,

    Keid B is Class DA. I'm no SE expert, but the engine is probably defaulting on the first star and ignoring the DA as it is invalid input.

    DA is a perfectly valid spectral class.

    Sorry. I was just trying to be helpful and I saw that didn't seem to fit with what I read about the star scripts.

    Keid B is a simple "DA" WHite dwarf as described in the script. I don't know why in Space Engine it's being displayed as a K1 orange dwarf. It's so annoying. wacko

    Do you select a Keid B itself or the entire system? Then selected a system, SE displays its brightest component's class as the entire system class.

    No. His screenshot clearly shows Keid B as a KV star.

    I tried uninstalling then reinstalling SpaceEngine. That didn't seem to work.

    HarbingerDawn, great, I always wondered why Cyg X-1 isn't in the game. I will try and make some systems myself.
