| Quote SpaceEngineer (  ) Going to 50 ly just within 1 hour look too unrealistic.
Here there is the very difficult choice between realism and gameplay. Since SpaceEngine is technically not a game, it could have realistic hyperdrive with no problems at all, maybe with a cheat to overcome these limitations.
If it was a game with a specific gameplay, I guess no-one would wait one hour to reach a star that is "just" 50 light years away, just imagine what would happen if it was even more realistic... 
The universe is not required to be in perfect harmony with human ambition.
CPU: Intel Core i7 4770 GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 270 RAM: 8 GBs
(still don't know why everyone is doing this...)

| Considering the hyperdrive is only theoretical at the moment no one could argue about realism. Even the 1.00 c limitation for physical speed is unrealistic (the ship has mass -> it can't reach the speed of light)

| SpaceEngineer, is it possible for you to switch the F11 and F12 keys to be the new default like I said earlier?

Someone could be interested in having the two screenshot actions separated.

| Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) Too many people disliked it.
Well the mouse speed increases dramatically when using TurnSmoothing. Maybe it will be more accepted when you slow down the mouse movement simultaneously.
Anyway there is something else.
When you are flying around using the Spacecraft or Aircraft mode and select an object (while flying) your movement will stop and you will fly to the selected object. Fine so far. But when you arrive at this object and the movement slowly stops you will suddenly move in the direction and with the speed you had before you pressed G.
That's really confusing because you never expect this after zooming for maybe 20 seconds into a different direction.
Can you make the movement stop after using G or twice G ?

| If I travel close enough to a gas giant, its clouds look pixellated, like this:
Does anyone else have this problem?
Edit: As I move closer, the patchy area gets bigger, and soon the pixellation is gone and the clouds look normal.

| Quote Mosfet ( ) Some open clusters are still missing their Messier designation number, while nebulae are ok.
In a case, the open cluster M 33 is missing a space in the designation, so
Oops it seems RC3 have wrong (obsolete) catalog file. Fixed.
M 24 (Sagittarius star cloud) is implemented as new "no type" star cluster, and M 40 (optical binary star) is added to the star catalog as two stars M 40 A and M 40 B.

50 ly sphere have thousands of stars... Limitation of SE ships has been discussed many times, this "speed" limit is one of the way to achieve that.
Quote second-ich ( ) Can you make the movement stop after using G or twice G ?
Yes, it is easy

Do you use Intel HD? This must not happen if reversed depth buffer is working. Log file and exact location of this planet could be useful.

Yes, I use Intel HD. Here's my log file (although I am currently near a different gas giant, RS 8474-918-7-65912-408 3).
By the way, the pixellation also happens with terra clouds, but not with ice giant clouds. And when I land on a planet, the clouds are OK.

| I'm also having this Problem. Also, sometimes gas giants and Ice giants will go completely black when atmospheres and clouds are Disabled.

A problem, I think.
No. Gas giants in this update have no surface.
Don't forget to look here.

| Quote JackDole ( ) This is normal in SE 0.974 RC3!
Might be connected to this but is it normal that you see kind of a black hole when you are near the surface of some gas giants?
Quote SpaceEngineer ( )
Yes, it is easy
Cool. Would be nice if that's available in the next update

Did you updated drivers? It seems they are very obsolete (log reported GL 4.3). Recent drivers introduced the GL_ARB_clip_control extension, which is used by SE for reversed depth buffer, which fixed issues with clouds.

Not sometimes, but always. Gas giants since this version have no surface. So if you disable clouds and atmosphere, you will see only dummy black ball - base geometry to render atmospheric scattering.

| I don't know if this was spotted before, but with RC3 there seems to be a bug involving shallow water/water tightly enclosed by landmass.
Here are examples from a Terra and from a Titan.
Born too early to explore space... But just in time for Space Engine.

| Brown Dwarfs are far to massive. The largest brown dwarfs are 35% the mas of the sun, they would be an M5 star at that mass. Also, some of the lowest mass red dwarfs are less massive than even medium mass brown dwarfs.
