General Question Refueling XR2 at Brighton Beach

[Ripley]

Hi all.
This is a known thing, but I just can't remember the fix.
I've searched but didn't find it.

So, there's an XR2 landed at Brighton Beach, and cannot refuel since when the user opens the fuel hatch, flighcomputer lady says that the ship is still flying.
Only if you turn time accel on, you notice that the ship moves/jumps a little back and forth...but it looks on ground.

Another scenario, starting with a landed XR2 at BB, refuels with no problem...

What was the solution?




Edit: user runs O2010P1+D3D9

I remember super-high frame rates in graphics clients causing these problems, but that was some time ago.

Yes, I also remember something like that...
So maybe vsync=on could be a thing to try?

But I still hope there' a solution to that...apart from not using graphics clients! ;-)

Do you have all the thrusters and autopilots turned off?

It's not me who has the problem. I had to ask a FOI user, who reported:
"All power (and APU) off".

The user had forgot H-level autopilot on.
Now he can refuel.

Issue closed.

even though this is closed, I was just going to say that I have never had any trouble on Luna with the XR2, it always lands and stays put, refuels, etc... however, I had a Prelude II on Io (i think it was Io) and landed, but the UMMU's would drift up and into the air rather briskly, like being blown away. I'm not sure but I think they might have been being stuck in atmosphere drag while the moon rotated? anyways, it was really weird and reminded me of the topic of being "landed" but the vessels not reacting as expected

Sounds funny to watch seeing a guy fly away.:lol:
