Changelog for 0.9.7.2 (last update: 21 September 2014)

Changes and additions:
  • Oculus Rift support
  • 3D monitors and 3D TV support (anamorphic stereo pair mode, shutter glasses mode)

    Bug fixes:

  • Fixed inverted bindings to rotate ship CW/CCW in the atmosphere
  • Fixed a bug with too high speed of clouds on a tidally locked planets and moons
  • Fixed problems with fullscreen if display resolution changed
  • Fixed a bug with procedural stars with infinite luminosity generated
  • Fixed mistake in FXAA implementation
  • Fixed some bugs in the planet editor
  • Fixed some bugs in the lens flares code
  • Fixed automatic binding to a planet after controlling a spacecraft
  • Fixed resetting of the mouse-controlled ailerons/elevator angles after using keyboard controls
  • Fixed bug with clouds on catalog planets with low atmospheric pressure
  • Fixed atmosphere scattering models precomputing code
  • Fixed orbital paths cutting in the Map mode
  • Fixed "micro debris ring" and asteroids shared the same orbits with a moons
  • Fixed "square star" bug
  • Fixed "pink rings" bug
  • Fixed bug with closing the Universe Map
  • Fixed some bugs with eclipse shadows
  • Fixed "negative lens flare" effect when close to the star
  • Fixed wrong orientation of the star's equator relative to the planetary system plane
  • Fixed some bugs in the planetary system generator
  • Fixed hole in red giant stars
  • (Probably) fixed a crash at first-time nebula model generation
  • Fixed a mistake in the procedural white dwarf class generation

    		Animated procedural stellar corona.

    This is a sort of fractal, generated directly in the rendering stage. Star corona is rendered as three orthogonal planes, passed through the center of a star, as in previous version. But now it used procedural noise in the rendering shader to texture the planes, instead of blended corona images like in previous version. Old method for coronas is still available through the scripts.

    		The star coronas are... I really don't have a comment-they're simply beautiful. Yes, it does look WIP right now, but that will probably change. Eclipses will probably be much more awesome now.

    As spacer said, title should be changed to 0.9.7.2. I am very happy about this!

    Also, how much is time sped up in the video?

    		10,000 for main sequence stars, 100,000 for giants, 30 for white dwarf and 0,01 for neutron star.

    Edit: found a typo in the video, reuploaded (link changed sad ).

    		Wow, those effects...

    Might it be possible to make the corona effected by gravity so that this can appear in the game?

    0,01 for neutron star.


    I can't even imagine how fast they would look like at regular speed.

    Yeah, I wondered what 'nore' meant.

    		Stunning smile Will there be new lines to translate in this version?



    Love Space Engine!

    		Wow! Animated coronas! Just watched the video. It looks amazing, and another step towards animated prominences and spicules.

    Some finer detail in the corona may make things look better IMO.

    Something that'd require a seizure warning. mellow



    Careful. The PLATT Collective has spurs.

    		They look fantastic already! It does make me wonder if their size is correct for the red giant, however. Considering the size of those stars, that corona could be an AU in size.
