Oolite Bulletins

Hi all. I took a sabbatical from flying my lightly scuffed CIII for a couple of years and did things like get married, buy a house and so on. Now I have a Study in which to Play I am getting back into some games that I love. Like Oolite. I already overcame most of my problems and even found some old...

After a couple of visits from the purple flags while docking after accidentally shooting the docking bay I have been disengaging weapons as part of my own docking procedure. Now I tend to fly with weapons safe unless I feel unsafe, I deliberately fly into combat (rare for the time being) or someone ...

It matches the device name that Windows detected and the device ID 8086:2A42, and the driver Windows stubbornly refused to update. Intel doesn't publish Windows 8 drivers for the GMA4500 and the most recent Windows 7 drivers are coded not to install on Windows 8 so I've had to go all the way back to...

Success! No performance testing yet though... supposed to be working! Opening log for Oolite version 1.77.1 (x86-64) under Windows 6.2.9200 64-bit at 2013-11-06 17:14:27 +0000. 2 processors detected. Build options: spoken messages, mass/fuel pricing. Note that the contents of the log file can be adj...

The factory config is 4GB!) Graphics chip - Intel GMA 4500MHD The laptop is not massively...

I've been using the x64 build basically exclusively since I started playing Oolite (last week) on 2 different laptops with no discernable problems. I'm stumped about the difference between Oolite.exe and OoliteDeployment.exe - probably something obvious I just haven't noticed yet. I do know that on ...

Greetings. I am young enough that I didn't play Elite when it was new and somehow missed out all the fun growing up. Now I'm grown and apparently GTA, Garry's Mod and Minecraft don't consume enough of my free time so I've taken up Oolite. All my work colleagues have watched me play and walked away s...
