Astronauts on Artemis II described more color variation(s) than simply dark grey. It is possible that the white balance was not set properly on the camera (which I doubt) but the image above (to me) shows a slightly warmer, almost brown hue that differs from the standard views of the moon that...

Looks like the moon needs to be a little bit of a "warmer" color in KSA. Also, any thought towards choosing focal lengths of the in game camera's?

In my mind, It's a space simulation game with some sort of crew species. Early on, I was NOT a fan of the cats and frankly, I still don't much care for them. However, after some inner searching, I find that my personal dislike of cats (being the afore mentioned species) is that I have thousands...

The texture files already existed. They can get on with coding the important parts without messing about trying to create the game universe too. When the time comes, they can drop in any fictional game universe that they want. It will also be open for modders to make whatever.

I LOVE your idea. It stacks a lot of functions (I've seen the discussion on Discord) and improves gameplay by a LOT. This reminds me of a fated Duna expedition in KSP. Probably my favorite mission (or maybe second) in thousands of hours of gameplay. I designed the mission to be extremely...

Heh.. To this day, I still think those old 486s were the best built PCs ever! I used to work in the comic industry, coloring comic pages digitally. We used an obscure (now dead) vector-graph program on early X86 hardware and DOS. We used everything from 286 on through to 486, as they each became...

I have always had a love/hate relationship with the things. My first favorite game was on the Atari 800, Star Raiders. I've always had an interest in space and Sci Fi games.

Pet. Was my dad's toy, basically. I played Eliza on it and that was about it.

Maybe I can help somewhat. First thing is to imagine that you are INSIDE the nav-ball, looking out. The nav-ball surrounds you and your craft and you look out from inside the ball. It is easier to understand from this perspective. The nav-ball is a spherical measuring device, with degrees of...

This appears to still be a moving target. In the previous version (v.2025.11.7.2844), Using my AMD 7700s, I could run the game at 2k shadows, 4k textures for both vehicles and terrain. Today (v.2025.11.6.2829), I can run if I use 2k textures for both shadows and textures on terrain, keeping...

Same sort of issue arises during high rate warp between planets. Craft rotation can present light/dark side in quick succession.
