Sorry my poor english, but i come here to to talk about the error in Space Engine. The Kelvin don't have degree in their name, degree have in celcious or farenheit. Exemple: 0 °C = 273.15 K = 32 °F.
Kelvin don't have the degree (°K), is only K.

I know about this. I put degree symbol for better understanding of what it is for people who don't know about Kelvin scale. I think that if they saw the degree symbol, they would go to wikipedia and look for temperature scales.

Well, I would search for temperature scales with or without the º.

Also, this looks like a mistake, so, for serious users (like those people making videos, or even students who could use the software to present works in school or college), this small detail could be a problem.

Is there a configuration for the user to choose the scale he wants? I mean, at least Celsius, Kelvin of Fahrenheit.
(can't check today because I'm far from my computer).

If SE hasn't this configuration, I suggest to make it smile

No, I have not made configuration of measurement units. I plan to make it in a separate interface config menu, or even on the planet information table itself: Making units symbols clickable. You can then click on "pc" or "K" and choose other units in a popup menu: "ly" or "°C".

Yeah, pc to ly would be great, too.

So, you're planning to evolve the configuration process of the engine? Like some in-game menu instead of editing main.cfg?
(if that's possible in this engine) Well, it sure would be good for real-time testing the best configurations in our machines, but the way it is right now already works fine. So... up to you smile

I've already make all editable parameters accessible from config menu. They are saved in user config. The main config contains those parameters but requires restarting of engine for it to be applied.
