i dont think so

[skullhunter]

Ive got the pacth ffs it does not fix it   and i was fine till the cheaky person started talking and Dan i really like ur
work and i was not ordering anyone about

[oli_chose123]

1: This bug is with on full burn at 1000x speed(I think its more of a Orbiter bug than a DG3 one)
2: Adding "please" and writing complete sentences will help

[skullhunter]

This happens at any speed

[oli_chose123]

well, it never hapenned to me
you sure its with the dg3 only?

try redownloading a fresh install and patch of orbiter, then the DG3
if it doesnt work, then its your comp

[skullhunter]

its only the dg3  and i even tryed doing that and it's no way my pc  its kinda super

[Icarus]

Skullhunter,

I am reading these threads and cannot believe what you are thinking to 'harras' Dan like this?! You should THANK
Dan for making these products available and praise him for what he did instead of bothering Dan and anyone of us
with your mis-spelled, unfinished sentences. Ever heard of punctuation? Grammar? Complete sentences?
I'm sorry, but please go back to playing Quake Arena or something. This simulator is most definately not for you.
Excuse me for being so blunt, but IMHO, you asked for it.

Now I'm getting ready to getting your response. I'm sure you're going to cuss some more and tell me I am a mothers
child and should have stayed home with her or something. Please don't go that low and start enjoying this simulator
and all wonderful work that has been put into it and start thanking people for a start.

Try to ask a normal question like: I have this-and-this problem, has anyone experienced it and found a solution for it?
Then you might want to post a reply with something like: I have tried the patch, it didn't work for me, has anyone got
more ideas? Perhaps you could include some more details and information for others to at least be able to help you
instead of stating that 'it has been around for too long to be unnoticed and unpatched'. You say you have
this 'supercomputer'. My computer isn't standard as well with multiple CPU's and lots of memory. Still, it is possible
that your configuration isn't entirely compatible with Orbiter or DGIII. Ever thought about that? Don't -just- dismiss
those possibilities. I have found that Intel CPU's perform better calculations than AMD CPU's for instance. Perhaps this
is also the case with Orbiter?

Just my two cents.

[skullhunter]

I tryed to ask nicely and some cheaky guy keepet posting useless crap. and i did say Dan i love your work and all. but  i
dunno ffs  Be nice to take off fly in space for awhile and Not die and be spined around like a Rag doll in the hands of a 3
year old  Thats all there is to know about my probelm and i know 8 people who have it

[NASSAC]

Have you tried to use the Auotpilot program for a launch?

NASSAC

[skullhunter]

a launch  when am in outer space near no planets it pops you've been killed by a planets atmasphere

[Krytom]

Have you got time acceleration on at all?

[skullhunter]

yes. but i dunno about you but i dont wanna wait 4 real years to get to mars

[reekchaa]

Yeah, well... that's your prob, my man.

*POP*

It's fixed now.       ...  (sorry, too much fun)

[skullhunter]

ffs your all useless and dont care

[reekchaa]

Billy Bob, or Neil Parker, or whatever it is...

Just read the FAQ/Docs.  TimeCompression makes unpredictable things happen in Orbiter.  We'd love to help if you
just listened to a few of us and didn't get so damn impatiently mad.  DanSteph ain't working on it for the time being
and it ain't his fault... it's the locked main-source-code in Orbiter.  
It's a great ship, and we all fly it fine.  Atmosphere & TimeAcc ALWAYS make bad bedfellows.

[skullhunter]

weres the FAQ  i cant find it at all    i love this game and dans ship but You would get pissed off if u would think no one
cared and all.  sorry

[NASSAC]

If people didn't care they woudn't even read your forum notes. It seems like your just too impatient to take the time
to learn. You are so self oriented, your acting like a spoiled child who either gets his way or throws a temper tantrum.
This is a Space Forum and not a day care.  I know the reason for your broken sentences is that English is not your
first language so we will give you a pass on that. But perhaps you are loosing something in the translation.

Here I am again. After registering for just giving my two cents on this Skullhunter (what a name!) person, I have
followed this thread.

And it seems that Skullhunters manners have improved!

- He uses (used) punctuation and capitals in his sentences
- He said sorry

WELL DONE! That really is an improvement we can all appreciate.
Although English seems not to be his first language, I think there is room for more linguistic improvement, but hey,
give the boy some slack. English isn't my first language either..

Now for your real problem, I have the same thing. It happens to me 1 out of 10 flights: in the middle of a sling from,
say, the moon to Mars or Jupiter, without a burn or anything, my ship either ends up on the surface of Mercury
(always Mercury, no other planets) or starts to spin frantically. With this spin, there is no build-up. In other words: it
doesn't start to spin slowly and goes fast, it seems that the value for [X-axis-spin] or [Y-axis-spin] is suddenly 100
deg/s insted of near to zero. I have to set the timewarp to 10x or 1x and press [num5] and wait a long time before
the spin stops. Then I often find that my trajectory has changed, leaving me with no other option than to quit the
program and start again.

The 'solution' (getting rid of this symptom, actually) I found was: quitting Orbiter AND the loader-program. I haven't
had these kind of glitches for a long, long time since I entirely quit Orbiter when starting a new fligtht or scenery. So
perhaps this is what you (Skullhunter) could try.

The cause for this problem is unknown to me, but I can imagine that it has something to do with clearing the variables
in Orbiter once it exits to the loader. Maybe not all variables are being unset, leaving residues, and causing Orbiter to
react on those once it has come to a triggerpoint like a long slingshot. I really don't know.

One thing I have noticed, but this is really a common thing when running 'heavy programs': quit all programs you're
not using, including virusscanner software, SysTray software and processes found in your taskmanager. This clears
memory, stacks & buffers and so called 'hooks' that perhaps interfere in the way Orbiter works.

Perhaps this helps.

 How sweet.  
...And how frustrating to keep trying to help someone with such deafeating responses
Is this all one big joke ?

[skullhunter]

be thankfull your on my good books

[Simonpro]

How very rude. Perhaps people would be more inclined to help you if you showed at least a modicum of good
manners and thoughtfulness. Advice has been given re. your problem - if you don't wish to follow that then there's
not much anyone can do.

btw, reekchaa - long time no see, how's it going?

[DanSteph]

skull,

People jumped on you here because your posts were very rude and unpolite,
obviously you're very young and not used to forums post.
Despit this bad behaviour still some people where enough patient to help you
and you must thanks them for that.

Now you should cool down, learn from your error and correct your behaviour.
Listen to advises, thanks people that take time to help you,try to figure things
by yourself, be polite and respect people.

If you do that you are welcome else I'll simply ban you from this forum.

Dan

[NASSAC]

I vote to ban him. He is hopeless. His words are without excuse. He needs consequence to teach him a lesson. I will
from this point on ignore his post and I suggest all do the same. He's not even false when it comes to mattering.
Skullhunter who?

[skullhunter]

well dan thanks but ive tryed whatone has said and still it does not work so am stuck

[StarLost]

If you are experiencing what Icarus has written, the problem is not with the DG3. It is with the Orbiter core. You can
experience the same with a number of other vehicles.

You want fixes, you wait. A new version comes out about every 16 months. You make your opinions known, politely, and you hope
that they are high enough on the developer's priority list that they might be addressed in the next version.

Many of us have been waiting for DirectX 9 support for five years. Almost all of the addons have been developed by people
experiementing (there has been no documentation on a lot of what can be done in Orbiter). You wait, you listen, and you learn.

You can be sure that the developer's priorities most certainly do not correspond with yours.

If you don't like it, considering what you paid for it ... Ride out on the horse you rode in on.
