OHM ELIS - MT4

[BruceJohnJennerLawso]

Hi Fred, sorry to be a bother, but I seem to be getting crashes with this add-on at payload release. . I'm running this in the Upsilon Andromedae system, so I suspect its probably an issue with sol-specific behaviour. Would you consider including a version of the telescope that can be used out of system in the next release?

Could you post the Orbiter log?

Hi Bruce, I was not sure so I just checked and yes, the MT4 is sol-system dependent since it looks for the sun position to discover whether the ship is in shadow of its body or not (this is for charging battery etc). The dependency is on the fact that il looks for the star called "Sun"...

Your suggestion is fine and when I will be back on my PC in september I will prepare a specific module to prevent this issue (I will post it here).

In the meantime I was thinking that to make it run you can probably change the name of the main star of the Upsilon Andromedae system editing its config file manually to "Sun". Let me know if this works!

Thank you very much for the detailed response, that will help a lot :thumbup:

Edit: Tried the fix you suggested, but still no dice, I think there must be something else hardwiring it to sol system
