Thanks for the heads-up on this program, love it.

For anyone having crashing issues etc make sure you have the latest patch to 0.9.6.2 http://en.spaceengine.org/load/core/spaceengine_patch_0_9_6_2/2-1-0-16 apparently it helps with a lot of errors.

Frustrating as hell to do anything, inputs seems to just crap out and get stuck on objects
Right so, everytime I want to explore a body close up I get stuck to it and have to restart the game or use the goto option to another place, anyone know how to get unstuck?

Have to agree, very non-intuitive to use, controls a complete mess, I randomly get stuck (I think I'm actually moving but so slow its having no apparent effect) when near planets - sometimes when I'm still quite a distance and other times I'll be 100,000s of km away and the next key press zooms me right in, I glitch through the terrain and get stuck. Really wanted to have a bit of fun with it but just getting around and/or getting to grips with it is too frustrating.
