Is there a way to import real remote sensing data from the moon into SpaceEngine?
I'm a masters student of planetology working and researching on the lunar south pole. Through my institute I have access to different kinds of remote sensing data for the moon. But I'm sick of it looking at this data from a 2D perspective and thought it would be much more fun and helpful in my work if i could import this data into a 3D environment to better comprehend the lunar surface.
I'm interested in adding different types of raster layers (.tiff data): mainly DTMs (for high resolution images) and DEMs (high resolution elevation data) to SpaceEngine because the current lunar model is to poorly resoluted for my purposes. Can somebody first answer me if such thing is even possible and secondly how I would import the data to the game (because I'm more of a consumer than a producer and I don't have a clue about modding and stuff). Thx in advanse

Just bought the metaquest 3s VR headset. What laptop to run smoothly/good enough?
So yeah as a title says I've just bought the metaquest 3s headset, always wanted to try space engine and more so in VR. Not really interested in using space engine other than VR, so what kind of a laptop do I need? And how much RAM/ graphics card/ budget shall I set aside and look for? I'm not looking for anything super expensive, just a used laptop that I could pick up relatively cheap and would run it smoothly with good graphics

How to find proper Asteroid Belt - and how to copy it?
I DO NOT look for the one Asteroid. I look for the image of proper Asteroid Belt - like in NASA photos. I want to copy it for the custom star system I make in SE for my hobby RPG game.
