    		I spotted this while looking around a challenge galaxy. If the secondary planet of a barycenter has life, the primary planet doesn't show the moon as having life on it. This one might be an old bug or may just be an oddity of the way barycenters work.

    		I don't know if this is a bug or not but I think I should post it anyway (had a quick look at the header post but couldn't find it among the list but if it's already there please excuse me wink ): After prolonged time acceleration and while travelling from our solar syste to the interstellar space using one spacecraft (I have disabled all but one spacecraft in spacecrafts.sc in config folder) I have noticed a blue dot far far away from our sol.system and out to the whereabouts of sirius. So I tried to follow it with the spacecraft and teleported it there and found out it's a comet that has left the solar system and is travelling in interstellar space. The comet is [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C/2012_E2_(SWAN)]C2012 E2 (SWAN)[/url] . The interesting thing is that the comet is still rendered by the engine at this enormous distance from sol but only from certain angles: When the solar system is in the field of view, the comet is visible:


    but it is not rendered when the solar system is out of the field of view:


    The year is 34048 AD blink

    		That has actually been reported, just not in this thread specifically. http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/4-1593-1#25199

    I looked up the comet when I saw that thread earlier and it turns out that the comet disintegrated while going by the sun and it didn't look like the full orbit was actually known. So I thought it was because SE was working with only partial data, which gave a strange result.

    This is a bug, it has been fixed.

    Of course. Any planetary system in SE have a certain bounding radius, for clipping. If sphere with this radius is outside the screen, system does not render. If system is so far away that sphere is smaller than one pixel, it does not generate and render.
    But this comet have a hyperbolic orbit, so it may pass the bounding sphere surface and go into interstellar space. SE can't handle such objects directly. And this have no purpose - at large time scales the comet must be affected by a gravity of neighboring stars and become a part of their systems. SE can't model this.

    'k, cool to confirm that it's been dealt with.

    		Sometimes I like to turn the atmosphere off to see the landforms better (especially if it's a hazy atmosphere) and I noticed that the water was dissapearing as well. In checking it out a bit deeper, it seems to have something to do with planet shine.

    		I think is is a problem with 3D water. I often see the seas dissapearing when I took 3D water on.

    It is a bug in the shader manager. SE uses wrong shader sometimes.

    		This one is probably old (got it in 0.9.6 as well), but I wonder why stars have started to disappear in the background when I look at suns and planets real close.

    		Intended feature. When looking at a sun/planet in real life, the light would cause the camera to lower the exposure so the planet/star doesn't look washed out, thus as a consequence making stars too dim to see. It's similar to walking inside a building after being outside on a sunny day. Notice how dim everything looks for a couple minutes?

    Also why the Moon Landing photos have no stars in the background.

    Before when I watched a sun, I could see planets behind...

    Oh, I see... it was the auto exposure button...

    		Okay..... I just had something really wierd happen.

    I was at this location posted below checking out a crater when I noticed that the crater rim and mountains were being transparent in that the primaries shone right through them at sunset/rise as if the crater rim and mountains didn't exist, saved that spot as the location so I could come back to it, looked around for a normal mountain range on that planet. Found one, landed, and checked and it was working fine.

    Then I exited SE for whatever reason (to clear memory maybe) and when i came back, there was absolutely nothing there, the object simply vanished.
    Place "Moon Temperate terra with life"
    {
    Body "RSC 0-7-1385623-456-6488-0-0-276 1.3"
    Parent "RSC 0-7-1385623-456-6488-0-0-276 1"
    Pos (3.133593113723715e-011, -3.303210352814667e-012, 1.267805738321658e-010)
    Rot (-0.6195099236181922, -0.6932463937410089, -0.308189762973976, -0.2015836355007826)
    Date "2013.12.12 02:42:01.39"
    Vel 3.2407764e-015
    Mode 2
    }

    This is what i found to actually be at the system coordinates, a completely different system.


    The last time I remember having this glitch is when I found a frozen terra with life, then when I tried to come back to it, it was replaced with something else. Wierd glitch whatever this is O.o

    Also, should have saved the SE log, sorry, then again, I didn't even know it was going to happen.

    ---------------------------------------------
    In a separate bug report, looks like the bug mentioned back here: http://en.spaceengine.org/forum/26-705-13792-16-1351289359 hasn't been 100% squashed. The bug here though might be that the cluster is so tiny, 0.419 parsecs in diameter.

    I couldn't replicate the effect for the system as a whole, but it's visible when moving around while looking at one of the planets or moons.

    Place "returned glitch"

    Nope, I changed it to interleaved after I had those initial problems related to asynchronous loading when I installed 0.97.

    DAMMIT, It happened again. I was on a planet moving around a bit and trying to get a shot right and the scenery was still busy loading when SE crashed. When I returned, the system had vanished (object not found).

    Also, there were a few times while I was hunting around for the challenge that SE froze up and became unresponsive and the only way I could shut it down was to end proccess, could I have messed something up? I didn't seem to have that problem with the challenge galaxy though.

    Edit: Both of those times, the locations were inside an open cluster, no idea if that is coincidence though with only two of these that happened.

    Did you use Star browser before? I fixed the cause of great slow-down then using SB in the dense parts of the galaxy (ie star clusters).
