Programming Question orbiter getting messed up when swiching views

[Alexw95]

it seems to me that i got a pretty major bug when i am in my craft and then i swich outside do some time exel and then go back in my orbiter has change significantly like it sometimes even ejects me anyideas ?

Well, does this only happen when you use acceleration? Perhaps that is the problem, and not the switching of views. If you are using large amounts of time acceleration, you course can sometimes get messed up if you have left a small amount of thrust going.

Check if this happens when time accel is not used.

no it happens without time eccel to but just not dramatic without time eccel were talking maybe 10 km difference in eather apa or pea

Sounds like you might have some missing .dlls or something, do you have a black sky on Earth or an incorrect G reading on Orbit MFD?

yess incorrect g reading but i dont notice a black sky

the g reading is liek #!1 crap like that

Man... it would help if people actually put in an effort when typing and explaining their problems...


From what I can figure out from your gibberish, you put your craft in an orbit with a certain PeA and ApA and over time, the values change?

If so, that's the result of many factors. If you're within the atmosphere, there's a slight bit of atmospheric drag. There are perturbations from other planets, the Sun and the Moon and there's the uneven gravitational pull programmed into Orbiter if you have the feature turned on. An almost negligible amount is due to integration errors.

It's normal and to be expected... the orbits of real space craft degrade over time too.

i dont think pea can change fron 350k to -60k in less than one orbit when i use time accel from outside and then i go back in and look at my orbit mfd and thats what happend

Can you reproduce the problem with clean installation of Orbiter (i.e. without any addons) ?

If not, then could you try to identify which addon is causing it.

yea i just ended up starting over with just some basics and it seems to work fine thanks for your guys' help
