| I like to land on planets and look at the night sky, but I have to hold my finger down on the Middle Mouse Button to drag it towards looking at the sky, then once I let go it snaps down to the ground. This is incredibly annoying and I'd like to fix it ASAP.

| 1. It will be released when it's ready.
2. I don't really know you can look at the funding goals here though. http://en.spaceengine.org/index/funding_and_donations/0-26

| Pericko08, you already asked about release dates in the work progress thread, and your question was answered there. There was no reason for you to ask it again, let alone to create a new thread for either of these two questions. Pay attention to the forum rules; you've been warned about this from another moderator already.

| I hope I am not pushing too much, but I am really curious about the technical background of the different parts of SE, so I can optimize my system.
Quote Zargab (  ) I would like to know what is calculated by what hardware for the purpose of optimizing my computer for SE. I know clouds of stars are generated on all threads of the CPU when flying through them and I read that terrain is generated on the GPU, though I am not sure of that.
Could anyone confirm and add to that list?
At the moment I am trying to find out whether upgrading my GPU would make much of a difference. The same goes for overclocking the CPU.

Yes, that is how it works.

It depends on what you are trying to achieve and what issues you are currently having. In general, upgrading your hardware will always help with some aspect of SE. It also depends on how you use the program. For the most part though, GPU is more important.

Currently I am experiencing slowdowns when entering a galaxy from the side, and when generating terrain at planet level. Terrain refreshes are also very visible and sluggish. Most of the PC has good specifications, but the GPU is comparatively underpowered. The confirmation that the GPU plays an important role in at least the second bit explains a lot.
There is also this issue where planets turn into a disc with one solid color sometimes, rather than the usual planet with details, but I am not too sure that is a performance matter. I can imagine that having to do with textures and video memory, but I could also imagine it being something else completely.

| GPU would give you the greatest improvement. But you could also overclock your CPU for a small improvement since that doesn't cost any money.

Are there any benchmarks anywhere on what to expect with what hardware? I can't seem to find any.
I would think something like a 270X should suffice. A 280X is not that much more expensive, but I don't think I want to put up with the heat those things put out. It depends on performance though, and I guess it's off topic here.

Do you really think that becoming a beta tester is just a matter of asking on the FAQ?
