[closed]BETA TESTING THE DGIV IMPORTANT NOTICE !!!!

[DanSteph]

Without informations it's impossible for me to guess what happen thousand km away
in your computer. Without answers to my inquiry it's impossible for me to track the
bug you report.

So PLEASE !!!!!! (List not sorted, all points are important)

1-Post as much informations you can about the circumstance where the bug happen
2-Ensure you run the latest DGIV BETA on Orbiter 2006 patched with P1 (060929 version)
3-Try to reproduce the bug and give me the method you use to reproduce it !
4-If it's a CTD third party modules may be in cause, try to disable them all and see
if the bug still happen, if not, try to find the culprite by enabling them one by one.
5-If it's a CTD Report also what computer you use and if suitable what other add-ons you have  ! (textures etc etc)
6-At last if you can reproduce the bug it would be usefull to know if it happen also
on a fresh install of Orbiter 2006+ P1
7-Visit back the beta thread and reply to my inquiry !

Remember without your tests its impossible to make a good addon, at release time it will be to late
to report problem I'll not have time during several month to work on it again. So a little effort will be
really appreciated.

I thanks all peoples that have done accurate testing, for other I recall beta testing
is not reporting a bug with no information and then leaving and waiting that the final
version is released letting me scratch my head and guess what happened.
It can be a third party cause; computer, other addons, installation, but
worse, it can be a real bug that will never be solved .

Thanks a lot for your help !!!!

Meanwhile learned how to change date & time the following happens:

Selecting  a DG IV earth scenario (anyone) pressing Ctrl+F4 to Scenariao editor, custom, date. Choosing date "now"
for actual time and date and "aply".

But after that an d only after choosing actula time & date  the MFD buttons beside  (in that case map-mode) dosen´t
work anymore i.e. it´s not posible switching to track mode nor to select a targets like "spaceport" via the buttons. It
seems that all the buttons dosen´t work properly anymore (in map mode).

In Docking mode the "NAV" and "VIS" buttons dosen´t work also. I´ve not checked all MFD modes completely to find
out if this happens in other MFD modes too.

Orbiter bug - notice the "sim time" in the HUD say something like -4356456465
Also when I tried my ship had some misc acceleration with Orbit changing really fast
but all engine where stopped (docked to ISS).
Seem Orbiter doesn't support that negative time well. It may cause also problems
with DGIV system as many of them relly on sim time.

Solution: exit Orbiter and reenter with current scenario - all work as expected.

Thanks for report !

Dan
