Thank for advices, but I think, that I can see info about planets/fleets/etc from both races in one interface (single map with all info from all races in team can be useful).

Seeing all info in one map (.m file) would be very useful but up to this moment does not really exsist. The excel file helps you to see which planets scanned by your teammate are green for you. This means you don't need to scan planets with all races. For example in previous team game I as WM just build scouts without scanner and transferred them to my JoaT teammate who mapped out the entire universe very fast.

Like donjon mentioned there is a program that combines .h files but IIRC it was never released in public because it gave access to some info that you shouldn't have ...

Quote:

Currently I run Stars!, load one .m file, after this I load another .m file, and it's hard for me to align all info before I can load first .m file and start to making my turn.

In teamgames I play with all .m files open, this can be 2, 3 or more .m files at once ...
Once you get familiar with the universe it will be easier to swap between the different .m files using some reference points ...
Trading .x files is also a good thing to coordinate things.
