| Is there a tutorial in SE that would teach anyone about the spaceship assembly and mission exploration basics?

| Why our solar system objects haven't real position? I go to 20.03.2016 to see Solar eclipse and I don't see it. Moon is "near" the Sun, but not in perfect position between Earth and Sun. Is it only me?

| Why aren't all types of stars procedurally generated? Procedural stars are only giants (except blue giants), dwarfs and neutronstars, but catalog stars have many more varieties, such as subgiants, Wolf-Rayet stars, carbon stars, zirconium stars and so on.

SpaceEngine currently uses too simple methods of calculating orbital elements.
Love SpaceEngine!

| Would it be helpful if I upgrade my EVGA Geforce GTX card from current 650-Ti (with 2 GB) to new 780-Ti (with 3 GB), or even Titan (with 4 GB), for faster video performance? There is sometimes a pause on my GTX 650-Ti during video process of planet surface or object in space, but this is not serious problem.

I've noticed this too. Not too long ago I scoured a few galaxies looking for Subdwarf stars , especially the hotter kind, such as sdB, but found nothing. I know that there is a dearth of Red Giants that has been experienced by others as well.

| skywalker66, of course it would help. But prioritize memory over performance. Even a GTX 960 will run SE reasonably well at full HD as long as you get the 4GB version. No reason to buy a Titan.

In RC2, I've found some procedural star types that weren't present earlier. Subgiants, blue super and hypergiants and red giants.

| the earth description doesn't stick to reality, the deepest point on earth is 11km, 11km isn't the middle deep of the ocean, and 30km not the deepest point (cause 30km deep doesn't exist)

| Geikaal, that's not a question. Maybe it should be posted in the bug reports thread, or translation feedback if talking about a non-English description.

| I've noticed a change in the folder structure in RC2. There is now a data folder and an addons folder. I'm assuming the data folder is not supposed to be modified but you can place files in the addons folder. But how does this work? For example if you install a ship do you put the models and textures folder there?
Can someone tell me if there's anything different about installing mods in this version? Thanks--
I will be inactive on this forum for the time being. Might come back eventually

| Starting from RC2 the Addons folder will contain additional files.
under addons can be placed music, textures, models
Higher definition planet textures for Mars must be placed in addons/textures/planets/Mars
spaceship textures placed in addons/textures/spacecraft/<yourshipshere>
and models in addons/models/spacecraft/<yourshiphere>
added music goes in addons/music
a pak file can have inside "textures", "models", "music", "catalogs" folders with content, providing a complete suite of modifiers, simply placed into addons directory.
some .sml or .sss files or others will need to be changed accordingly.
Here Spaceengineer provided some infos and a correct addon.

| How do we need to change the sss files to get them to show up in the game?

| sss files do show up as long as you put them in addons/models/spacecraft folder, or you put them in a .pak file structured with "models/spacecraft" and "textures/spacecraft" folders in it.
In my case I had to change parameters into sss file because I had some modules loaded like this:
Code Module "Main" { "Addons/MS_Corp/objects/cockpit.cfg" (1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1) }
Now that SE searches for addons start under addons folder, I had a wrong path message on console, so I had to change the path in:
Code Module "Main" { "MS_Corp/objects/cockpit.cfg" (1 0 0 0 0 0 -1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1) }
Obviously this could not be necessary if, I don't know, all files were in a same subfolder?
anyway a look at the console or SE.log when building the ships should point to the right direction.

| I double checked and I realized my folders in Addons were spelt "spacecrafts" instead of "spacecraft". I corrected it and now my custom ship shows up. Thank you
