Hi all, I've got into station building as of late but am experiencing a problem that I can't seem to solve and was hoping one of you guys can help.

Ok I Build my station using various station modules available to us all, save my senario, then when I go back into the senario to carry on, all looks ok to start with but as time progresses some of the docked modules drift away from each other! when I check the senario editor they are not even docked to anything! however if I quit without saving and check the senario file it shows that all the modules in question are docked to the relevant modules but, when I load the senario they clearly arn't docked because they drift away from each other.

It dosen't seem to matter if its a clean install or not (I've tried that), how many modules are in the simulation, it seems to be quite random as to what stays docked and what drifts.

I don't seem to have this problem in Orbiter 2006 so is it a 2010 thing going on?

Please does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it, its driving me nuts now. Any help would be great.

I'm using orbiter 2010 P1
 
I'm guessing you have a large space station. I run into a similar problem years ago when I constructed my space station. I think the limit is somewhere in the range of 60 modules or something like that. Never went searching for what the cause was, though.
 
the number of modules in a simulation did cross my mind, but i'm not sure that is the problem because I've had this happen with as few as 9 modules in the simulation
 
A first good point to start would be just posting the scenario here. Somebody might try to reproduce the problem or maybe even see what's wrong in the text. ;)
 
ah ok thats interesting, I wasn't aware that spaces were a problem, I've checked all the module names and removed any spaces, for now it seems to have solved the problem, If it crops up again i'll post the scenario file for you guys to check over, but for now all seems ok.

Many thanks :thumbup:
