Far Out | Update 22.1

Feb 11: 22.1.2 is a small patch to fix an issue that caused the new physics system (NativeComputation) to occasionally fail on launch and revert to the older, slower system (ManagedComputation).

In the image above, the orbit stretching to the bottom left is 2018 VG18, the most distant known object in the Solar System. The orbit shown here is a preliminary estimate; more accurate data will be available only after years of observation.

Update 22.1 is a small update that adds a few new sims in addition to dozens of improvements and bug fixes.

Check out these sims featuring incredibly distant Solar System objects, including the recently announced 2018 VG18, nicknamed “Farout”:
