Ready for Windows 11 Version

In this version, users have the opportunity to use planet textures up to 8K resolution. In addition, Earth, Mars, Mercury and Moon topology files were added to the installation package, enabling them to be active selectively.
Of course, these features require high-performance graphics cards.

 
 

As another innovation, the "Anchor to Planet Surface" mode has been added.
Before you had this feature, when watching from outside to the planets the camera image was taken from a fixed point far from the center of the planet. With the Anchor to Planet surface feature, any latitude and longitude point on the planet is referenced for camera placement. Thus, when the time flow is accelerated, the seasonal effect of the sun on the planet can be observed.
