MPL3D Solar System (Touch)

Made with DarkGDK, this is the 5th version of the MPL3D series, and yet more improvements on the original release. Exciting and immersive, this is astronomy for the whole family.

MPL3D Solar System now has enhanced textures for celestial bodies and improved graphic effects, including:

Seven combinations of HDR/Bloom
Heat haze for stars and spaceship engines
Revised effects for nebulae, star clusters and galaxies

Navigate your Spaceship

Touch control adds a feeling of intuitive, natural handling, bringing a new experience to the end user. Spaceship mode enhances the entertainment side of the simulation, and even a fabulous 3d asteroids mini-game has been included. Spaceship control mode has all the usual options for this type of simulation, which include joystick and touch control, to allow you to use your preferred method for control of the craft.

The spacecraft is user customizable, allowing the users to load their own meshes, and has numerous configurable options for textures and effects, including:

Seven cameras
Dozens of effects
Eight light sources

The cockpit includes all kind of gauges for the three crew members, including gyroscope, G-force indicator, mission time, and even a 3d radar of the solar system.

Features, features, features!

The simulation takes care of some unique features in this kind of software, giving a blow of fresh air for the hobbyist. These are the most remarkable:

Dynamic representation of stars and variable stars. Surface star oscillation, simulated sunspots and coronal mass ejections, making the stars hypnotic and ever-changing
All extrasolar planets are different, based on the scientific data available for them, with appearance changes and atmospheric effects
Binary star systems, including systems with mass-transfer stars, the so called 'contact binaries'
Most famous nebulae, star clusters and galaxies. Even Saggitarius A*, the black hole at the centre of our galaxy, has been carefully represented
Real star colours based on spectral class
Logarithmic brightness system with visual compensation
Tools like the object selector, the system gallery and reduced orbit sizes
Music inspired in space and stars with 3d sound
Customizable spaceship mode with Newtonian flight
Touch-enabled control for Ultrabook devices
