I've got another bug for you Dan :pfff:
If I am in orbit, and I turn on 10x time acceleration, I get dumped back to normal time with a short "beep"
and a warning that says "excess G". Obviously this can't be true because I'm in a stable orbit around earth!
The really strange thing is that it doesn't happen at other accelerations. I don't know if you know about this
already, but it seems like a pretty hard-to-miss bug.

I used to get the same bug using the previous DGII, quite annoying, will have to check if it also
happens with the new version.

what's your framerate ?
do you use "orbit stabilisation" ?
does it happen each time ?
does it happen in far space or in LEO only ?

This is an old bug that don't happen for anyone.
it doesn't come from my code , it seem orbiter make ship
"jump" somewhat.

Notice that "orbit stabilisation" would logically make this bug
while it "fakly" update the position of the ship (jumping)
as my G function record the delta position over time : you get G.

maybe it´s because your computer is to slow

Well that's probably half of it,considering that my framerate tops out at 30 if earth isn't within view :pfff:
I'll get to work testing Dan's questions.

If it miss some frame due to slowness Orbiter will
catch up making some jump, and jump will show
G because it's an *acceleration*.
Things goes worse at warp time because as Orbiter
jump already, small trouble become big one.

I don't have any solution for that.
