• Barycenter is shown when Labels are enabled (selection visual isn’t working yet)
Improvements
• User interface
• New multi-select panel
• Hold Ctrl and draw box around bodies [or] hold Shift and click individual bodies -> Click a mini-info panel -> Multi-select panel appears
• Options include:
• Create Barycenter
• Make Binary Orbit
• Balance Movement
• Auto Orbit
• Zero Velocities
• Reverse Velocities
• Graphics
• Better smoothing for glow fade-ins
Fixes
• Fixed issue with loading sims with 0 gravity
• Fixed minor issues with explosion fragments
• Fixed issue with explode adding/removing mass
Alpha 18.1:
New
• Native Physics Computation for Mac & Linux (Native was added for Windows in 18)
• Native replaces Managed physics computation as the default setting
• Removes a computation layer from physics calculations, resulting in vastly increased performance compared to old method
• You can switch back to Managed physics computation to see the difference
• Home > Settings > General tab > Computation Device > ManagedCPU
• Enable ‘FPS Info’ in Home > Settings > Debug tab or press Alt + F
Improvements
• UI & UX (user interface & user experience)
• Material properties can now be edited like other properties, using an input box and selectable units
• Can now click on menus as interface fades in at startup
• Right-clicking on Powers now brings up Sim Actions panel
• Graphics
• Adjustments to glow colors
Fixes
• Fixed issue with explode tool not working
• Added missing values which weren’t being saved with a sim, including magnetic properties and position lock
• Fixed issue with shrinking planets and then scaling them back up causing rainbow like textures
• Preview window no longer reverts to low resolution when at large distances
• Fixed issue when loading a sim which contained a removed body with rings
• Clicking Add button when panel is open now closes panel
• Orbit Width in View settings now works
• Fixed interface issues when adding galaxies to sim
• Fixed launch slots not showing up in Add panel
• Fixed water shading issues
• Fixed issue with saved sims and objects not showing up for some users
• Can now paste text including weblinks into feedback textbox
Alpha 18b:
New
• Native Physics Computation
• Native is the new default setting that replaces the old Managed physics computation for Windows, Mac, & Linux
• Removes a computation layer from physics calculations, resulting in vastly increased performance compared to old method
• You can switch back to Managed physics computation to see the difference
• Home > Settings > General tab > Computation Device > ManagedCPU
• Enable ‘FPS Info’ in Home > Settings > Debug tab or press Alt + F
• Wolf 1061 simulations
• Home > Open > Wolf 1061 [or] Wolf 1061 with Eccentric Orbits
• Home > Explore > Science > Wolf 1061
• Wolf 1061 Announcement & Paper Simulation Based On
Improvements
• Simulation
• Added back in RK2, PERFL, and ForrestRuth integration modes
• UI & UX (user interface & user experience)
• Changed “Astronomy” tab to “Science” in Home -> Explore
• Added additional tooltips to various controls and options
Fixes
• Fixed issue with fragments never becoming colliders
• Minor fixes to climate tutorial
• Fixed issue with preview window setting wrong lighting mode
• Another attempt at preventing Linux audio-related crashes
• Fixed issues with glows appearing when they shouldn’t be
• Minor sound fixes
• Minor position fix for value selectors in user interface
• Fixed issue with particles disappearing at certain aspect ratios
• Fix which prevents window from resizing once app is loaded
• Attempted fix for missing background issue in Linux
• Fix for performance test results requiring email address
• Fixed issues with craters not appearing for smaller collisions (18b)
Alpha 17.0:
New
• Rewritten star glows
• Better colors and fading
• Fewer clipping issues
• Earth Similarity Index
• Properties → Materials
• Compares mean radius, bulk density, escape velocity, and surface temperature
• Based on http://phl.upr.edu/projects/earth-similarity-index-esi
• Life Likelihood Index
• Properties → Materials
• Completely speculative chance of forming basic life as we know it
• Derived from Earth Similarity Index plus considerations for water, rotation, and atmospheric mass
• New sims
• Halley's Comet in 1986
• Siding Springs Comet Encounter with Mars in 2014
• Halloween Asteroid Passing Earth
• Earth & Sphere of Moons
• “Make Pulsar” tool for white dwarfs or neutron stars
• Properties → Materials tab → Magnetic Fields → Make Pulsar
• Added a “Moon Sphere” ring preset
Improvements
• Graphics
• Improved rendering for stars
• Improvements to comet tail opacity and volatile emission rate (17a)
• UI & UX (user interface & user experience)
• Ring sizes can now be set using standard distance units when editing presets
• Timestep slider is now less sensitive and independent from FPS
• Added Mass Loss Total read-only value to Properties → Materials
• Changed temperature unit from Kelvin to Celsius for mini-info panel
• New tutorials for time step and some lesser known features
• Additional tooltips
• Removed stress test sims from All sims tab (17a)
• Crash detection and reporter
• On startup, detects if app didn’t close properly and asks user to send report
• Improved logging for debugging
Fixes
• More robust handling for audio issues
• Audio will disable and display warning in audio settings instead of causing crash
• Attempted fix for missing background issue
• Fixed Longitude and Latitude feature in View Settings
• Bodies with identical IDs in opened sims are now assigned unique IDs, preventing data issues in saved files
