| What about Auto exposure?
Regarding the glowing clouds:
For some time, there are atmospheric compositions in SpaceEngine.
If this is missing, SpaceEngine invents something. Even existing atmospheric settings are ignored. Then can occur something like this.
Replace the 'Atmosphere' section for 'Intar' with this:
Code
Atmosphere
{
Model "Earth"
Height 58.51548
Density 0.3657133
Pressure 1.13
Bright 12.96069
Opacity 1
SkyLight 4.32023
Composition
{
N2 70.7729
O2 18.8625
H2O 7.4
CO2 2.0398
Ar 0.9303
}
}
Don't forget to look here.

| Ohhhhhh. I left auto-exposure enabled.
And as for the clouds, changing the star to a G0V fixed the glow problem.

| So I guess it's corona or autoexposure, but not both. Got it.

Like I said, it seems to depend on the atmospheric composition.
The procedural values, which are generated by SpaceEngine, depend on the position of a star - among others.
If you correct this point error in the distance,
Code
Star "Intar Stelis"
{
RA 164.7
Dec 22.6
Dist 34,126 // point error
AppMagn 5.3
Class "G5IV"
}
Code
Star "Intar Stelis"
{
RA 164.7
Dec 22.6
Dist 34.126 // corrected
AppMagn 5.3
Class "G5IV"
}
the position of the star is changed.
SpaceEngine creates a different atmosphere and the glow is gone! 
(At least for me! Such things can unfortunately also be dependent on other installed add-ons.)
With pont error:
Without point error:

| I ran into that, too. I believe it has something to do with the texture settings, but I don't know what exactly I did to fix it...

| huishb, I can confirm this happening to me too. Usually when fiddling with the sliders and clicking update, sometimes it would work for a second then the model will freak out like that. Changing the slider back and updating fixes it.

That's definitely the best-looking glitch I ever seen on SE!

| This is nothing special. This happens frequently in the editor.
I click then always immediately 'Export script' to save the changes I have made to a planet or asteroid. Mostly SE crashes shortly thereafter.

| Quote JackDole ( ) (This is not a bug. Only extreme parameters. biggrin )
I like extreme parameters, but those are perhaps a little too extreme... :)
I miss some extreme parameters, though. A looong while back, I shot this pic with extreme parameters (I can't remember which ones anymore):
I wish I could replicate it now, with the newer versions of the program. This looks like something alien life could do to a landscape.
I also liked these old nested plateaus.
The point here being: maybe there's programatic reasons for not doing so, but one of the problems of procedural generation in general is that after a while things become repetitive, and one way to reduce that problem would be to add new landscape generation methods while conserving the old ones as (perhaps rare) variations.
Just a thought.
They let me use this!

| I like that idea. I'm still less than ready to do procedural landscapes myself, but if I can get my head around all of it I'd like to do just that in my own games.

| I'm not sure where I should post this, so I'm posting it here.
I found out how to fix the "gas/ice giants are black spheres" bug.
First, export the planet.
Second, open the file and in the Surface tag, you'll find this;
Code ModulateColor (0.000 0.000 0.000 0.000)
Third, replace all the values with this;
Code ModulateColor (1.000 1.000 1.000 1.000)
Without the fix
With the fix
Keep in mind, this is only useful for planets in the "addons" folder, since it's impractical for export EVERY gas and ice giant in the game and changing this stuff.

| I have a bit of a trouble when I try to run SE in 4K or any resolution higher as my native one. As soon as I apply the higher resolution in Window Mode and make any movement or click the camera is just spinning and spinning and I'm unable to control anything. Does anybody else have the same problem?

| I haven't seen anyone mentioning it yet but I'm experiencing quite a few GUI bugs. Actually I believe there is only one bug as all issues seem to be connected to opening and closing of dialogs.
I need to click on a button a few times for it to work.
A little test for frequency of the problem:
Opening "Find Object" dialog by clicking on icon and closing it with "X". Repeated 30 times, counting clicks needed for the expected action to happen.
Clicks needed - count
1 - 35
2 - 13
3 - 6
4 - 3
5 - 0
6 - 0
7 - 3
It does apply only to buttons that do something with dialogs. Example:
"Star browser" - Search, Stop, Clear, Column headers always work. Filter settings, X, Close and Export are problematic.
And Go to is special. It should go to the selected object and close the Star browser dialog. The go to part works always but sometimes the dialog doesn't close.
Similar thing happens to "Universe map". When the map opens the right panel sometimes doesn't show up and sometimes it stays after map is closed.
 
Same with "System chart":
 
Clicking on "Close" does nothing. Sliders and checkboxes crash SE.
Bonus: This bug applies to hotkeys as well.
Possible reason: Dialogs are opened and closed correctly but their visibility is bugged. If I press F3 and the dialog doesn't open then I press e.g. 4 on NumPad and camera doesn't move. Actually, no controls work then. Next if I open it with mouse then I can seen numbers typed in the search box. So the dialog was open but invisible and the search box activates by default so when I press any key it goes into the serach box.
