Things in orbiter that really get on your nerves

[Pilot7893]

-When you are moving the camera, when in goes inside a dialouge box and the cursor dissapears
-when you select a different MFD and you get a CTD
-CTD in general
-You leave the comp during time warp on an interpaletry voyage, and you come back to find yourself a smoldering mess on the planets surface/flying off into deep space

-AAAAH I HATE THAT!


- When you download a lot of things from Mustard's site and realize that nothing from that site works ever

That's one thing about FSX that I hate

 

[SlyCoopersButt]

Addons that require several other addons who themselves also need additional required addons to work. And on top of that some of them often cannot be found at times. And yes, When the cursor disappears too.

Whan that happenes, you praise god that Orbiter is free

The cursor disappearing. And the low FPS when in LEO with 1000x time acceleration.

 

[MAPitard]

Not once experienced a CTD. Maybe I'm too much of a newbie . Sometimes in LEO my ship's rotation will go crazy for no reason, even without time warp.

That is also getting on my nerves. My Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick has a bad yaw control so I need to calibrate it every time when I launch windows. And I saw hundreds of other people having the same problem.

I have the same one and it works fine. I find that increasing the dead zone prevents wild excursions during time accel.

Yes, increasing the dead zone is a must for the Logitech. Mine broke, so I've gotten used to using the keypad for ship control.

What do you mean? There are some high quality addons on his site.

Also happens if Orbiter hangs while your looking around and you release the mouse before it comes back. I believe if you uncheck the "Focus Follows Mouse" box in the Parameters tab it will solve this, or at least make it happen less often. It does make entering numbers into external mfd's a bit of a pain though.

What I really hate about CTD's isn't the CTD itself, it's the fact that my addiction to highres textures, combined with a crappy computer, means that it takes 10-15 minutes to reload the scenario. (This is one of the prime reasons why I'm really excited about the new version.)

People that don't know crap about Orbiter, and complain when they get CTD's.

Every Logitech joystech I've ever owned has had that same problem. I gave up Logitech altogether. Saitek makes a great Joystick if you can drop the $$$, but be sure to go for the Pro version.

lol. I've been around Orbiter long enough to know that if I got a CTD 90% of the time I screwed something up.

 

[Pilot7893]

Yeah, the hard part is finding out what that something was

With all due respect, what is that supposed to mean? Mustard is a brilliant add-on developer and modeler, and I have found his work to be top-quality! Are you sure you are installing everything correctly?

 

[Andy44]

+1 on support for Mustard's work. I've never seen his stuff fail to work when you install it the way you're supposed to.
