Radio Problem Report

[Prandini]

Subject 1 - Just a report:
I put in the same .scn the DGII and the STS-109:ColumbiaARM 2.5 and I found a radio interference.
DGII played Shuttle's sounds.

Here the scn:

Maybe in future people want to dock the Shuttle and the DGII...



Subject 2: And why cant I grab the hubble in orbit with the Shuttle's arm?




Subject 3:
Sometimes, when I try to start a scene (addon-on or not) I have the following Application Error:
-----------------
The instruction in "0x0045384c" makes reference to "0x00000000". The memory can't be "read".

Click 'Ok' to finish the application
-----------------
I already tryed to reinstall the Orbiter more than twice. Maybe my GeForce 2 64mb video card is
the problem. I dont know.

Any sugestion?



*By the way... really great work Dan. Really great. (If u read...)

[DanSteph]

This is not a bug but a "feature"

The shuttle use my sound SDK as the dgII
each vessel can load as much as 60 custom sound
but they share the same 60 slot for the sound
so if the dgII use wave1 and later the shuttle is
loaded and load also a sound in the slot 1 the dgII's sound
will be replaced by the shuttle's wav.
Thus when the dgII play the "slot 1" sound your hear
the shuttle sound.

Avoding this "feature/bug" would mean allowing hundred
and perhaps more sound to be loaded in orbiter and this may broke
performance or create new bug.
One solution would mean to reduce the possibilities to 10 sound
for each vessel but this is by far not sufficient (dgII use almost
all the slot)
Another solution would be to force the vessel to reload its sound
each time it receive the focus.... problem even when you have only
one "sound/vessel" all the wave will be reloaded creating some stutter.

But Perhaps this is the best solution I may think about this for the next
release.

About the 0x0000 pointer this is a bug of orbiter that may be caused by several
things so I don't know....

And about huble & shuttle I don't know also you may ask the
creator of it....

Hope this help ?

Dan

[Prandini]

Helped a lot! Now I can understand how it works.

Thanks a lot for your a attention.
Hope that my reports help you somehow.

Good luck for the next releases.

Prandini

[DanSteph]

Thanks , happy flying !

[Orbiter Fan]

The reason why you can't grab any orbiting vessels with the robot arm is because the shuttle does
not support retrieval of orbiting payloads.

= (

Bad notice. I was hopefull that I could somehow grab everything. Maybe in a future version...
: )-



Thanks Orbiter Fan

Reference Prandini subject #2 error message:

    I often get the same message.  If I exit program and re-boot it whenever I switch from one
mission to another, I do NOT get the error message.  I always get the message if I exit to launch
pad and switch missions without exiting the launch pad and re-booting it to switch missions.

    While I am on line,  How does one end  an  MMU?  I have carefully and slowly inched the MMU
into the docking portal (with great alignment) (feet first) and the MMU continues through the
Atlantis  (have 15A version of Atlantis).  Is there a key-punch that I am missing?
