General Question FROZEN text with Ctrl+Shift+F

[jacquesmomo]

Hi

So I've discovered something... that I don't understand...

Let me explain to you :

I'm currently adapting my Cessna (in my "French Guiana Airport" add-on) for Orbiter 2024.
(It was for Orbiter 2016)

One of the commands I've defined is "Flaps retract" with the key combination Ctrl+Shift+F.
And to my great surprise, this causes the word "FROZEN" to appear at the bottom of my screen.



Orbiter doesn't seem to be affected, but I don't know why I'm getting this and what it's for...
(it wasn't there in Orbiter 2016)

Have you noticed this? Can someone explain this to me ?

Special Orbiter 2024 feature!
I've got no idea, but I get the same! Doesn't seem to do anything, some lost code?

So, I understood and found out what this command is for : it seems to "block" the loading of the surface tiles.



I don't really understand the purpose of this command.

Anyway, I changed the command letter for my Cessna from F to V.
For the Flaps, instead of Shift+F and Ctrl+Shift+F, I set Shift+V and Ctrl+Shift+V.

After all, "Flap" is "Volet" in French...

It's a debug feature to allow to take the camera behind the scene to see how planetary tiles are rendered.
Might be good idea to disable in "Release" build.
