Collision shockwaves and atmosphere colors are more realistic, camera motion is smoother, and you can try the new Automatic Simulation Speed, which adjusts the simulation speed based on what\u2019s happening in the simulation. Never miss a collision again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved Shockwaves<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Energy from collisions spreads more realistically over the surface of an object, resulting in larger shockwaves. Heating from collisions is also less concentrated and spreads over a larger area. Previously, shockwave expansion ended abruptly in a smaller area, often resulting in blue-hot impact sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automatic Simulation Speed<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Allow the simulation speed to adjust itself automatically based on various conditions, like nearby objects and collisions, by turning on the new Automatic Simulation Speed feature. Automatically speeding up and slowing down the simulation speed provides an improved viewing experience for collisions, orbits, explosions, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature is still in active development and is currently off by default. Turn it on under
Settings > General > Experience > Auto Simulation Speed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simulation speed will slow down to show collisions that you might otherwise miss<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rayleigh Scattering<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Object atmospheres now visually simulate Rayleigh scattering<\/a>, which describes how light scatters in the atmosphere. Rayleigh scattering is what makes Earth\u2019s daytime sky appear blue and the setting Sun appear red. Adjust the strength of the scattering under
