Starfield showed landing on a planet without loading - the mod has not yet been released

For Starfield They are preparing a modification that will allow land on planets without a loading screen.The author showed a preliminary demonstration: the ship smoothly descends from orbit, enters the atmosphere and reaches the surface.But immediately an important clarification - the mod has not yet been released, this is a development video and not a feature of an official Bethesda update.

You can fly manually or turn on autopilot

The developer published a demo on October 9 in the Starfield and Starfield Mods communities.According to him, landing can be done manually or control can be transferred to the autopilot.During the automatic descent, the character will be able to get out of the pilot's seat and move around the ship, and then return to control.

In the description, the author mentions low orbit, various weather effects and even the possibility of landing on water.These are the stated capabilities of the prototype;in practice, they will need to be tested after the public release.The video itself is available on YouTube of the author.

It's not easy to hide loading: clouds, weather and atmospheric effects are promised

According to the modder, the project implements volumetric cloud layers, lightning, auroras, shadows, city lights at night, and atmospheric reentry effects.For calculations, data from the game itself about climate, weather and planetary surfaces are used.

The author writes that he has been working on fashion for about six months.But neither the exact release date nor the final system requirements have yet been published, so it is not yet possible to say that this demo will work without problems on any PC.

How does the project differ from the already available take-off mod?

Modification Seamless Planet Takeoffs SFSE already exists and removes the loading exactly when takeoff.Its author separately warned that the landing was much more difficult and was not part of his immediate plans.The new demonstration is another development dedicated specifically to downward flight and landing.

These two projects cannot be mixed: a ready-made take-off mod does not mean that landings can already be installed and tried.You can follow the progress of work on the new version in developer publications.
