| Quote second-ich (  ) While we are at the subject, I have found a weird planet with a kind of checkered pattern.
I'm going to assume that a binary pair are eclipsing each other. That tends to cause weird shadows.

| I thought the new depth buffer was supposed to have eliminated that artefact?

No. Eclipse shadows are not related to the depth buffer.

| Okay, patch 08.
Download SE 0.974 patch 08 (44 MB)
Mirror 1
Mirror 2
Installation instructions:
To install, extract this archive into SE 0.973 folder and replace the files. Make sure you are made a backup copy of the 0.973.
As always, don't forget to remove the cache folder.
If you have ATI Radeon and latest drivers, delete the system/atioglxx.dll file.
Known issues:
This patch did not tested on XP (sorry, Win7 update broke XP loader somehow on my computer)
Supermassive black hole system may not generate in some galaxies and star clusters
Sagittarius A* black hole located not exactly in the canter of the Milky Way galaxy
Accretion disk size, brightness and animation may be weird in some procedural systems
Ship warp effect may cause huge FPS drop and lags on weak systems (disable "Hi-quality black holes" in settings to fix that)
Various glitches with ships physics and autopilot logic are possible
Labels and ship engines looks glitchy in Oculus Rift
All localizations except Russian are out of date (of course)
Changes:
Updated exoplanets catalog (18 Oct 2015)
Camera motion mode or controlled ship is restored after closing of the Map Mode
Added ability to cancel autopilot "Warp to" and "Fly to" commands
Added switch between full and abbreviated names of constellations
Improved stability at extreme screen resolutions
New physically accurate rendering of black holes, neutron stars and white dwarfs with accretion disk
Animated surface of neutron stars and white dwarfs
Added ability to replace procedural supermassive black hole with catalog entry
Catalog entry for Milky Way's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* and its stars
Catalog for some famous relativistic objects (systems with black holes and neutron stars)
Added ability to specify star mass, radius and temperature in the star script
Added Y brown dwarfs
Added ability to specify locked position of a body relative to parent body with simplified script syntax (Refplane "Static" and "Fixed")
Implemented correct orientation of extrasolar systems (RefPlane "Extrasolar" for inclination and ascending node)
Improved rendering of late M-dwarfs
Smoother solar spots
Added new atmosphere model "Pluto" (HarbingerDawn)
Atmosphere models are included in the memory manager
Added exoplanet names approved by IAU
Integrated Klud's mods for selenas and asteroids
Bugfixes:
Fixed rings blending with clouds and atmosphere
Fixed seam artefact in rings
Fixed star sprite in a barycenter
Fixed star density in Milky Way
Fixed inability to select a deepspace object as a refbody/target for a ship using GUI buttons
Fixed bug with star particle visible through black hole
Fixed various rendering bugs in the Map Mode
Fixed planet particles rendering in front of water/clouds
Fixed foreground labels rendering in front of planets
Fixed instability in hyperbolic orbits solver
Fixed bug with sun shining through ocean
Fixed camera pushing when landing on planet with Left+Right mouse drag
Fixed too many cloud layers on planets with thin atmosphere
Fixed localization change in the Chart Mode
Fixed offsetting of a landed ship when time flow is accelerated
Fixed bug with camera velocity display
Fixed bug with sudden camera rotation when collide with terrain
Fixed specular spot on Oceanias
New object selection method in Oculus Rift
*** HAPPY NEW YEAR! ***

Yes I love you space engineer! And with this release I also get a new gpu! So I can't wait to see the fps I get!

| Great! Can't wait to check out the new animated surfaces for WDs and neutron stars. Also, the ability to replace procedural supermassive black holes with catalog ones is awesome. Why not do the same for neutron stars and white dwarfs for nebulae? (so we can have things like the Crab/Vela pulsar)

Nice! I thought that the feature was only for supermassive black holes(due to the changelog), but for some reason didn't bother to actually check in-game.
Anyways, you did a fine good job with the update(as usual). May 2016 be yet another happy and productive year for SpaceEngine!

| Small problem with the translation (French), otherwise it is very beautiful.
(Number of planets : Nombre de planètes)
(Number of moons : Nombre de satellites)
Soon a manual for accretion disks?
Otherwise I wish you a good year (a little early) to all people of the Earth.

| Very neat update.  Btw, how do I find accretion disks? :unsure:
Nvm found them. :)
Quote SpaceEngineer ( ) Fixed star density in Milky Way
Was this really an issue? Wikipedia says the Milky Way galaxy contains 200-400 billion stars, yet SpaceEngine says it has 72 billion. Last patch said something around 200 billion if I recall correctly.
Love SpaceEngine!

| space engineer, I went to look at the crab pulsar (excelent work on the accretion disks, btw), and while I was zooming out, I happened to notice that the pulsar is nearly 1500 parsecs from the nebula. is there a reason for this, or was it just a mistake?
