2.
The Orbiter version you are using.
3.
Whether the bug occurs in a clean Orbiter installation (i.e., with only
Orbiter
,
XRSound
, and the
XR vessel
installed). Your bug is more likely to be fixed (or
at least fixed
sooner
) if the problem occurs in a clean Orbiter installation.
4.
The exact steps to reproduce the bug. If the bug is not reproducible, please
be as specific as possible about what you were doing when the bug occurred.
Note that if a bug is reproducible it is more likely to be fixed.
5.
The complete contents of a scenario file to reproduce the bug. Remember to
enclose your scenario file text in
[code]
and
[/code]
tags when constructing
your post on the Orbiter forum.
Appendix A: Notes
•
For non-full-screen display modes in Orbiter, XR vessels automatically save
Orbiter’s display window coordinates
on exit and restore (move) the window
to its saved coordinates on startup. To disable this behavior, set the following
registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AlteaAerospace\XR\Disable ->
DWORD:DisableWindowPosRestore = 1
There is a separate set of saved coordinates for each given window size.
•
Altea
in
Altea Aerospace
is pronounced
all-TEE-uh
or
al-TAY-uh
(both
pronunciations are correct).
•
For a more realistic challenge, edit your
ship’s config file
and make the
following change:
o
MainFuelISP=1
(sets main fuel burn rate to REALISTIC
–
suitable
for ISS or LEO only)
•
If you are an expert pilot and looking for a real challenge, make the following
changes:
o
MainFuelISP=0
(sets main fuel burn rate to EXPERT
–
ISS Only
w/expert use of SCRAM engines and expert deorbit/landing)
o
APUFuelBurnRate=5
(sets APU fuel burn rate to EXPERT)
Now take off using the default
Ready for takeoff to ISS
scenario, dock with
the ISS, and deorbit to KSC. If you fly it perfectly you should be able to land
back at KSC without refueling. Good luck!
•
You may alter or even delete any of
an XR vessel’s
custom speech callouts
and sound effects by editing or deleting the wav files in your
$ORBITER_ROOT\XRSound\Default
directory: if a callout or sound effect is
missing, it is simply not played
–
it is not an error. This allows pilots to
change or remove any callouts or sound effects
they don’t like.
Note that you
