To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

Hello,
I want to have a go at creating a 3d space simulation game but not sure which engine is the right choice.
All i need to know is which decent game engine (not graphics engine) with a free version available has the biggest usable world size limit?
I know that because of some floating point inaccuracy thing, once you get out of a certain distance, things begin to shake and become unstable. I have
experienced this before myself.
So yeah, which of the engines out there has the biggest world size that can be used without problems arising and do you know how big in kilometers or meters it is?
UDK is at the top of my list just because of all the support on Unreal's site for it and there has already been space games created with it. The Cry3Engine is also available to use as well. Those are two very good engines. I'm not sure if Freespace 2 Open Source project might be another thought as well since it is free as well and the upcoming Wing Commander Saga is using it.
Thankyou, i will look into those.
other option is to join an established project like pioneer and throw youre lot in with them
