Space engine

[NotLegalTender]

Does anyone have this? It's a neat little simulator that procedurally generates space.

Here is a planet I found. Cool terra around a red dwarf in a binary system. One side is covered in ice, and the other side is warm, but, has a large perpetual hurricane.

Looks cool, reminds me a bit of Noctis.

Very cool, looks like a modern version of the space sims we used to mess with back in the day. Definitely checking this out when I get a chance.

You have obsolete OpenGL version (2.1).
Update your graphics card driver or install compatible hardware.

Makes me think about actually buying that monster hardware Numsgil describes.

Driver updates might fix it!

What specs does numsgil have, something like a I7 extreme and a GTX Titan? Or is there something that tops that. :p

[Botsareus]

Thanks for your help Peter.
Unfortunately, updating the video driver did not help.
Also, Apparently Nvidea got hacked, my first install I tried was malware.

Yep

Let me guess: You have it water-cooled?
Is that a hard rig to maintain?

Sort of.  I'm using a Corsair H60.

Is that a hard rig to maintain?

Nope.  It is a tiny bit noisy, though, with all the fans going.
