Odometer bug?

Fanders · 12-04-19, 07:27 AM

I was trying to navigate under water and kept an eye on the odometer when it suddenly was at zero.

Is there any explanation for this? The only human-made failure I can come up with is that I somehow manage to push any button that will reset the odometer. However, I don't think I pushed any button on the keyboard.

If you're using bots and don't have a human navigator, then the nav bot will reset the odometer at about every 100 meters and plot the DR position on the map when under water.

Ah! Then I understand why it behaves like that when I run solo.

But one problem still remains. This happened when I was playing the game with two friends. One of them was navigator at the time.

OH! Well I'm not getting the DR plotting, just the odometer resetting... sometimes... Trying to do underwater plotting practice with the bots handling depth control and propulsion. Until seeing this thread I thought it was just broken and randomly weird. I'll go back and do some tests. On the latest release from a couple of days ago.

I love this simulator!
