Winds of Change | Update 36.2

Watch winds spread gases across planetary atmospheres, see the unique shape of any selected object with new stylized outlines, and adjust object compositions by percentage. We’ve also focused on eliminating issues with over 50 fixes and improvements.

Atmospheric Winds

Gases now sweep across planetary atmospheres by the newly simulated geostrophic wind. Check it out and customize the wind speed under Surface > Atmosphere > Geostrophic Wind Speed

Shapely Object Outlines

Selected object outlines now conform to their unique on-screen shapes rather than being drawn as circles. Selecting multiple objects at once now seamlessly blends their selection outlines.

More Highlights

Adjust object compositions based on material percentage. Quickly recreate Earth, Titan’s atmosphere, or fine-tune your custom creations. Steam post image

Explore how objects in the simulation move relative to each other with the new Rotating Camera. Click Rotating Camera when two objects are selected to lock the camera and see how other objects move relative to the selected ones. Try selecting Jupiter and the Sun in the Solar System to see how the trojan asteroids move relative to Jupiter.

Stellar prominences now look more realistic, with colors based on the star’s surface temperature and thinner, more looping visuals.
