| I also noticed that the loading timing has been incredibly optimized in RC2. It almost seems like SpaceEngineer made a major break through on it. For me having the loader timer set at 5 in RC2 is about the equal if not greater then having it set to 15 in RC1.

| Quote PlutonianEmpire (  ) I was wondering if limited VRam would limit how many installations I could have, since IIRC, atmosphere models permanently take up about a megabyte or so of VRAM.
1) That would only matter when the program is running, 2) they don't do that anymore.
Quote DeathStar ( ) It's not like there's realistically going to be anybody listening outside in the vacuum of space for anything.
Why not? Why would you accept permanent deafness if you had the technology to hear? Anyway this technology is used to explain sounds in space in numerous sci-fi/space fantasy stories.

| Quote Thomas988 ( ) I do not enjoy how smooth the camera moves and rotates with the mouse. I'd much prefer having the old camera movement from earlier versions, but I don't see any options to do that. Can anyone help me out?
No, I don't think there's anything the end-user can do about it.
Also, you know better than to create a new thread just to ask a single question when suitable threads already exist. Don't do it again.

| This is probably the best running version of SE to date. Been playing for a few hours and not one single crash!
I have to say I am loving the new Hyper Jump mechanic. That warp bubble looks awesome.

| Mosfet,
Quote Mosfet ( ) After some tests, I've found that in my case if I use French or Italian as interface language, the Earth isn't selected with Shift-H.
The problem lies in the 'fra-db.cfg'. I have this:
Code
RObject
{
LocName "Soleil"
Name "Sol"
Pioneer "Inconnu"
changed in this:
Code
RObject
{
LocName "Soleil"
Name "The Sun"
Parent "Sol"
Pioneer "Inconnu"
And it works!
Don't forget to look here.

| none of the downloads are working for me. They all take ridiculously long amounts of time. the shortest one was #2, which kept changing between 2 and 3 hours.
EDIT: Never mind I got it to work.

| I was looking through some of the shader mod files I had in RC1 before migrating over to RC2, and I noticed that some of them have "/**/". What exactly do those do?
Edit: Also, when adding a custom context.cfg to addons>music, do I need to include the pre-existing definitions from the one in the data>music folder, or will the game automatically include them? And can objects be renamed (Such as renaming Earth to "Gaia")?

| Quote Mosfet ( ) And when the autopilot says it warps, it really warps to death, I crashed on the planet.
Don't activate warp if you're going too fast. In 0.972 and 0.973 you could avoid crashing with planets breaking to 555 +-1 m/s before activating hyperjump. I don't know if this still being useful with 0.974. You should try out

That makes sense, thank you. :)
In an unrelated issue, I'm trying to tweak the Solar System to my preferences, however even though I use "remove" declarations, the game keeps re-assigning the old parameters to the new bodies meant to replace them. For example, with Venus, I'm telling the game to only use the existing bumpmap for the surface, with the textures being generated procedurally. However, even though it is a terra with oceans, there is no way to achieve the Terraformed affect like with Mars. It also still uses the base "JVV" diffmap, as well as the original venus clouds for the bottom clouds layer.
Is there anything I can do on my end to fix this?
Edit: Also, how do I completely remove a binary star? The Remove parameters work for the individual stars, but the RemoveStar refuses to remove the actual system; the game will place the original star in its old spot complete with procedural planets.
Regardless, RC2 looks really nice! Good job!

| PlutonianEmpire,

I use these characters to temporarily activate a block of code that is actually disabled. So I mark it as possibly only a temporary solution. I could imagine that other programmers do the same.
Deaktiviert: (comment block)
Code /*
Clouds
{
DiffMapAlpha "Transp"
...
...
}
*/
Aktiviert: (no comment block)
Code /**/
Clouds
{
DiffMapAlpha "Transp"
...

}
