one of my thoughts would be is: wouldn't it just be easier to make the default scene you start with being a planet that's earths size and has all the atmosphere heights set to how earth is in the beginning?
Actually the defaults *are* about right for Earth. The radius for the planet is specified as 6.378e+006 which is 6,378,000 meters or 6,378 kilometers. Double this for diameter and you have 12,756km. You can see the diameter of Earth is properly 12,756.3 km here:
http://www.factbook.org/wikipedia/en/e/ea/earth_1.htmlI don't know if the atmosphere settings can be checked as easily since they don't necessarily correspond *directly* to actual atmospheric measurements but I do know that they're intended to be "Earth normal" as well and basic eyeballing of a default TG2 space render compared against a real image of Earth from space essentially confirms at least a visual similarity in terms of atmosphere height, etc.
The file you posted with the atmospheric glow error had some pretty extreme atmospheric modifications, which I presume is responsible for the problem as I've done hundreds of space images and haven't yet seen this in my own images. So if you're aiming for an Earth-like result I'd recommend just leaving the defaults as they are, or at most doing some *slight* tweaking to color and avoiding much change in heights, especially the overall floor and ceiling heights.
The error itself will be resolved in the future, as previously noted.
