RE: New game mod: Pioneer Scout +

@walterarI hope, you are getting better soon. When you'll come back, I have a little surprise for you (see PR #3201).

So i posted the Text from the Output file on"Pastbin". Umm, you should probably give us the link, since at least my crystal ball broke in a rough landing ;)

RE: Things related to Scout+

<t>@Marcel: On which star systems did that happen (including sector coordinates please, names are not unique)? Did you activate the system info view for another system (or the same system) before (if so which one)? I don't think that whether there was an exploration mission for this system should ...

RE: Issue tracker now available

This is not happening for me (Ubuntu 12.04.4, 64 Bits, self-compiled). I tried both tag 20140223 and current master (6e38538d9f03). I guess, it's related to your OpenGL configuration . You should probably open an issue and attach your opengl.txt and output.txt there.

RE: Things related to Scout+

This has been fixed a few days ago. With a few days old Linux version there was a Greve (0,2,86) and it would throw the given assertion on activating system info view. Edit:Those were issues #2743,#2744 by the way

RE: Jovian Scooping

<r>Ahh, I seldom use this view. Just looked into the code. The radius of the frame is double frameRadius = std::max(4.0*sbody->GetRadius(), sbody->GetMaxChildOrbitalDistance()*1.05); It isn't as easy to change this as it looks, as one must make sure, that the frame does not overlap with other frames ...

RE: Jovian Scooping

<t>I fail to understand what you mean. Frames are a completely internal concept. Ideally, they wouldn't be noticeable at all to the player. And except for the switch from non-rotating to rotating frame they normally aren't. If you mean, when the altitude display appears, that is completely ...

<t>At what distance does the switch to flight relative to the Planet vs Star happen?As far as I can see from the Navigation Screen it looks like it sometimes happens when you get within the distance of the furthest satellite...

<r>it's by far the most efficient propellant for deltaV No, it's not. Mass is mass. If you throw the same mass with the same velocity out of your back window, it will give you the same thrust. And water is much safer to handle (try to fill the same mass of hydrogen into your water tank, and it might ...

RE: Jovian Scooping

<t>The only real problem with gas giant atmospheres seems to be, that it uses the gas parameters of air (gas molar mass and specific heat). In fact all planets use the same set parameters. I did some experimentation using a different set of parameters for gas giants (those of an average helium ...

I did some detective work and could recover the information from the picture :). The background is not completely white, so the text string is still there, only invisible to the human eye. Playing around with gimp's color curves revealed: "Arcan C a, Arcan (16, 5, -21)"

RE: There is a way to map (update info) the unexplored systems?

I have some unfinished work in my queue, which allows to unset the "explored" flag from Lua thus making starsystem information visible. But don't hold your breath, yet. I have some stuff which I would like to finish first.
