Here is the information on some of the changes that I have made in SpaceEngine.
Last update: November 9, 2011

Changes and additions:

  • Markers for planetary system bodies
  • Ability to rendering a sun surface with "real" brightness
  • Precise Lens Flare effect for sun
  • [Ctrl] + [Mouse Wheel] changes velocity like [Ctrl]+[+] and [Ctrl]+[-]
  • Turning video capture mode (F9) automatically sets the "Frame Time" timing mode for obtaining a smooth video
  • In video capture mode screenshots are saved to "screenshots/capture" directory, the old files are rewritten
  • Screenshots saved without HUD
  • Added RAM usage checking in memory manager
  • OpenGL version checking at program startup
  • Added a new recently discovered satellite of Pluto
  • Loading of spaceships models (experimental)
  • Supporting of parabolic and hyperbolic orbits
  • A dense atmosphere smooths the climate on the planet (reduces difference between the equator and pole)
  • Tidal-locked planet (always facing the same side toward the sun)
  • A giant cyclone at the subsolar point on the tidal-locked planets
  • Ocean planets (planets entirely covered by the ocean)
  • Ice caps are not flat terrain
  • Hills on flat areas of the planets
  • Improved shape of mountains
  • Faster generation of landscapes
  • Detail photo-textures on landscape
  • Ability to disable (hide) water on procedural planets
  • 3D water as separate transparent layer (no wave/reflection/refraction yet)
  • Brown dwarfs
  • Updated exoplanets catalog
  • Minor interface changes
  • Adjustment of movement keys acceleration/deceleration time in user.cfg
  • Adjustment of velocity presets in user.cfg
  • Export of planetary systems in a script-file
  • Collision detection with planetary surface
  • Automatic switching of follow mode for planets (Follow / Sync Rot)


Bug fixes:

  • Fixed a bug with black screen at startup
  • Fixed a bug with missing interface textures and other stuff (incorrect memory manager working with old drivers)
  • Fixed incorrect rotation of Pluto
  • Fixed a bug with neutron stars in all planetary nebulae only
  • Fixed too little mass of white dwarfs
  • Fixed a bug with empty irregular (Irr) galaxies
  • Fixed a "cubic star clusters" bug
  • Fixed a shifting of selection pointer and labels beside the planet
  • Fixed a shifting of the background in the black hole's gravity lens effect
  • Fixed incorrect calculation of the rings and moons orbital orbital period
  • Fixed wrong position of the binary star's barycenter
  • Fixed the shining of asteroid particles through nearby planets
  • Fixed a bug with landscape patch BBoxes: it is possible to use LOD 0 now
  • Fixed incorrect rendering order of transparent clouds layers
  • Fixed a crash while first running if the Milky Way galaxy model is not cached
  • Fixed excessive RAM consumption
  • Fixed disappearing of bright stars while moving at huge velocity

Nice to see this latest update on what is planned for the next release. smile

I take it version 0.95 will include all the highest priority items in the TODO list? I'm particularly interested in the new maps feature.

Yes, fixing the black screen problem will make it playable for me, and the other features sound good too!

How will the space ships affect performance?
How many will there be?

I do not give a guarantee that ships will be in the new version. I just tested loading/importing code and rendering performance. A model with 400 000 triangles gives ~200 fps on my GeForce 9800, but it is with a simple lambert lighting shader.
