| It's good idea - update the catalog of dwarf moons. I would include it in the release

| Do file dates/modify dates still need to be newer than existing files?

| How to atmospheric models with several mods ?
I just noticed that if there are several mods (pak) and they each have the models / atmospheres / atmospheres.cfg, spaceengine only loads the last then add it with the atmosphere by default. How to do ? To rename atmospheres.cfg in the NameChoice.cfg.
Edit
It's good, in fact, you have to name them, I leave the post in which case if other people demendent the same question.

| pak files are zip files renamed. Personally I use 7zip since many years. Open source, multilingual, many formats.

| problem solved!
I don't know why, but if you compress inside the addons folder then pak file does not work.
when I moved the files on desktop and remade compression everything went fine...

| Since the new RC2 update, I have been wondering how to Import my Star Trek ships to the Simulator. When I put the mods in the addons folder; the mods would not load into the build menu. So... I tried a different way. I renamed the file Shipmodels974.pak to Shipmodels974.zip and opened it in winrar(You could use winzip, but I chose Rar b/c it was free). when opened, you will see two file folders: default and modules. I then added a addons folder to the archive and saved the archive but kept the window open.(see attachment) I went back to where my star trek pak file was and turned it to a zip file and extracted the files within. take the models file and rename to the name of the original pak file. (for my case, it was Star_Trek) take models file and put it in the winrar archive under your newly created addons folder. (do the same steps stated above for textures). Now that you have that done, if you recall, the models are still configured to .971 which uses hyperdrive, not warp drive. so go into the folder that has your .obj/.sss/.cfg files for the mod and oped the .sss files in notepad (if you have windows. (if you have a mac open it in whatever you use to edit code in) and change the code from to Code WarpBoostLog 12
Warpdrive true
That will enable the Ship model to travel at Warp. When you open the build menu, the models will probably be in the unknown section. I am still trying to figure that out and will post how to fix that when i find out how to change it. if anyone knows how to change it, by all means, comment how below. I hope that this helps and if you have any questions please comment below or send me a pm.
The screenshots are- if i did this right - will be posted soon.

Ship.sss file add this
Pack "Star Trek" // mod name or sci-fi universe name
Faction "Federation" // faction or race
Quote dalekkhan00 ( ) WarpBoostLog 12
This can be set to any number you want, but the higher you place it the stronger the warp effect will be. It is best to keep it around 12.
Here is an example .sss of one of the ships I have ported
Code Name "x304 Daedalus"
Class "Starship"
Pack "Stargate"
Faction "Earth"
Length 225.00006
Offset (-0.27173996 -19.688484 -0.63740444)
Quat (1 0 0 0)
Mass 32000002
Albedo 0.05
Exposure 2
Color (1 1 1)
MainEngines 5600
RetroEngines 5000
HoverEngines 5000
CorrEngines 5000
TurnEngines 0.002
WarpBoostLog 16
Warpdrive true
Aerodynamics false
Module "Main" { "Stargate/x304Daedalus.cfg" (-1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 -1 0 -15 -10 -20 1) }
Intel Core i7-5820K 4.2GHz 6-Core Processor

| I Knew You could change the warp boost log to whatever you want as i set the Nx-01 ships to 5.0. and thanks to show how to change the pack name in the build menu as for the screenshots, i am currently at another computer and do not have access to the modded space engine
and a curious question that has nothing to do with this topic... how do I change my affiliation from a pirate to something else? (I.E under where it says what group you are in it says pirate, united states, Netherlands etc. )

| There is already this thread about modding in RC2: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/17-3398-1
A new one is not necessary.
