Bug Altea XR2 Ravenstar Horizontal Lvl Autopilot bug (Reproducable)

jrobert · Oct 19, 2011

I believe I've found a bug concerning the activation of the horizontal level autopilot using the "L" key command. Upon loading the following scenario file and immediately pressing L, the simulator crashes referencing the following information:

According to your bug reporting guidelines, here is the following requested information:
1. XR2Ravenstar: Version 1.4, Build Date: Jul 2 2011

2. Orbiter Build 30 Aug 2010 [v.100830]

3. Yes. This bug occurs in a clean Orbiter installation. The only installed items are OrbiterSound, UMmu, and the XR2 Ravenstar.

4. The bug is immediately reproducable on multiple separate systems simply by running the following Scenerio and pressing L to activate the Horizontal Level Autopilot.

5. The scenerio file is as follows:

That's a good catch!

Turns out the CTD occurred because the scenario loaded in glass cockpit mode (no instrument panel), and since the main panel was never rendered some data the code expected wasn't there yet. I just fixed it for the next XR patches, but for now the workound is to press F8 after the scenario loads to switch to 2D cockpit mode before switching back to the glass cockpit. To put it another way, it will be OK as long as the main panel is rendered at least once anytime after simulation start.

Orbiter 2024 has been released!
