Oolite Bulletins

Diziet. Me, compile trunk! Ha! I haven't compiled anything since I used to code COBOL, and that was eons ago, on an Apricot Xen. As an aside, COBOL was 50 years old a couple of weeks ago and it's still running BIG mainframes today. Robust code. I've gone on to v1.72.2 now: no stars, no nebulae, no p...

Yeah, you're right.
I've gone on to 1.72.2.

My problem with 1.72.2 is the precision roll/pitch toggle.
With my old eyes, I need it!

I always take care.
First lesson I learnt, many years ago, is always have a back-up.
Second lesson is always have a back-up of a back-up.

No tips on HUD messages?

These messages are VERY annoying.
Any tips, anybody.

To Eric Walch - thanks Don't know why I didn't do that before - found 4 or 5 lines in the comms log that were bizarre: a single character repeated ad infinitum it seemed. Deleted the offending lines and now size is 33KB and the save game appears to work. Very strange! Now I just need to get rid of t...

Hi My system: E6600 4 GB RAM Radeon HD3650 512 XP Pro SP 3 (32 bit) No hotpatches, no OXP's. Can't post log as I've just deleted the whole game and was about to start from scratch. Drastic maybe, but that's that. Me and Lave are old friends. The save file was for sure an Oolite save. The dashboard m...

Hi all
To Diziet Embless
The C.A.T. is getting older (like me) but still performs well (unlike me)
How is Skaffen-Amtiskaw. I'm still looking for a game of "Damage"

To Svengali
Last savedgame was 2,340KB
At that rate it will be bigger than the whole game soon

I await v1.73

Thanks Screet,
Don't remember getting trumbles, but you may be right. If so, I'll have to lose a lot of game time and start again. Hey-ho.
As for driver update! Had trouble with that.
It's a harsh universe. It's back to dear old Lave and100 c.

Greetings! First post from an old Eliteer. I have questions: I’ve been flying Oolite v1.65 for a couple of weeks now (ahh – the feel of the old original at last). I’ve noticed that my save file has suddenly increased in size, and continues to grow! Any clues? So I switched to v1.72.2 - no stars or n...
