Great, that fixes it! Thanks very much.
Sorry I didn't do a better search before posting (I'll blame playing at 5am).

[Solved] Oolite svn-trunk-r3776: Bad load/save

Just been starting from scratch with a new commander and a new build, no OXPs. This is built on Ubuntu 10.04, following the instructions in https://bb.oolite.space/viewtopic.php?t=4595 Using a clean checkout from trunk, r3776. Played for a little while, including saving my new commander several time...

Re: Improvements to the Advanced Navigational Array

When calculating the optimal route, use weighted shortest-path, with travel time as the edge weight, so that the resultant route is the quickest route rather than simply having the fewest hops. Alternatively (better but more work), provide an interface to switch between the two different methods of...

Improvements to the Advanced Navigational Array

Recently I've started taking passenger contracts, for which it seems you typically have to travel to quite distant systems, and for which the Advanced Navigational Array is quite useful. However, there are a few things about it that I think can make it more annoying to use than it needs to be, so I ...

However, that leaves the question which version jpab is running - since what you write sounds like the 1.73.x versions should already have the fix?!?
I'm running 1.73.4 Sep 22 (on win XP)

Well, if it is a bug, it's not exactly a game-breaking one -- I just thought I'd point it out. To be honest I'm not sure what the point of having a compass target for the system station is anyway, given that the docking/navigation beacon is trackable with the compass from anywhere in the system.

Sun skimming / Advanced Space Compass oddity

I've noticed that when in relatively close proximity to the sun, the advanced space compass can be switched to show the direction to the system's space station (the square symbol). I thought it was only supposed to allow this when relatively close to the planet/station itself? I haven't checked the ...

In Step 2.2, it seems pretty weird to perform a debug build of SpiderMonkey and then *rename* it to pretend it was an optimized release build. Replacing the two "make -f Makefile.ref" commands (steps 2.2.2 and 2.2.3) with: make -f Makefile.ref BUILD_OPT=1 Will do a real optimized build and...
