XR2 Upgrade Blues - VESSEL2-DERIVED?

[Bishop]

Hello lads! :hello:

I just updated to
Orbiter 2010P1 and XR2 1.4
from
Orbiter 2006 and XR2 Version 1.0, Build Date: Oct 8 2008 (a combo I like so much I keep it on my pen drive :tiphat


New install? Gorgeous


After a bit of PREF and SCN tweaking, I hit the Wild Black Yonder!


All my favourite MFDs etc work without a hitch :thumbup:

except :lol:

Axial Velocity HUD v1.0 RC2

A quick check shows it works with the "stock" ships


:idea: I changed the XR2 prefs for anything HUD related i.e
ShowAltitudeAndVerticalSpeedOnHUD = 0
DistanceToBaseOnHUDAltitudeThreshold = -1


Luck was had in a quantity of zero :embarrassed:


There's a couple of lines in D:\ORBITER2010\Config\velhud\velhud-list.cfg

#
#    This file lists add-on vessel class names that are compatible with VELHUD.
#    To be compatible, an addon vessel simply needs to be derived from VESSEL2 class.
#    Unfortunately, there's no reliable way to automatically tell if a particular 
#    orbiter vessel is VESSEL2-derived, and 
#    IF A SHIP IS NOT VESSEL2-DERIVED, VELHUD WILL MOST LIKELY CAUSE ORBITER CTD.
#
#    Feel free to add as many vessels as you wish.
#    NOTE: vessels that use Spacecraft/Velcro are compatible and are already added.
#    NOTE: class names are ASCII, case-insensitive
#    NOTE: * at the end (only) matches anything beyond it, eg. XR* matches both 
#    XR2Ravenstar, XR5Vanguard.

Is the XR2 no longer VESSEL2-DERIVED?

I've grown accustomed to that HUD and will be sorry to see it go :shrug:

Any tips or ideas greatly appreciated :hail:

Thank you,

The XR2 now derives from VESSEL3. It may be possible to recompile VELHUD to work, but the original author or source code would be required.

Que Sera, Sera

Good man Xyon :tiphat:

I can stop messing around now I see there's a technical reason it is Not To Be :compbash2:

The bold Wraith hasn't been around in a while, I'll PM him and see if he's still alive or dead :sos:
