    I would associate Carmina Burana more with the Deutsche Bahn... "velut luna, statu variabiliiiiiiiiiis!!" 😂

    THERE BE GRAPHICS NOW!! Some, at least. Mostly still placeholders, making these things takes time! We also have 3 shiny new orbital depots for remassing, enabling a lot of profitable options for a spacecraft like the Alex. This is accompanied by this release's codex update, which is an...

    I know that, obviously. They've been building it during the 10 years I was there... all the 10 years I was there! :ROFLMAO: I don't know what state it is in now, but yes, it was fairly comfortable to drive on, at least once they managed to convince the local populace that no, you really, really...

    Parts of Tuzla just keep moving downwards, mostly. The last time I've been there (admittedly over 10 years ago), parts of the main road had the topology of a snapshot of an ocean surface (i.e. lots of waves...).

    At least they didn't build a city on top of it... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuzla That would make sense, at the time I most likely picked it up from a discworld novel...

    It sounded funny at the time, and was mostly inspired by the phrase "... and Bob's your Uncle". Only learned much later that there's quite a famous software engineer going by that name. So far noone has called me pretentious, so I guess I'm good... :whistle:

    Not them, in any case. The question has not been directly answered (i.e. I still have no idea why the thing didn't work), but a comment showed me a different way of doing it that omitted the problem altogether, so that works for me...

    I just posted a question on stackoverflow, and within an hour it was edited 3 times by 2 different people "fixing" style and punctuation, and in no small parts each others edits. I can't even... :ROFLMAO:

    Graphics incoming with the next update. Only static backgrounds and mostly placeholders. Can't make a graphic of all 9 stations currently in the game in only a month, after all (along with the entire redesign of how challenges are presented in general), but I've got one station now, and hey...

    That reminds of how, if a dependency somewhere in an application produces a weird, esoteric and unexpected problem, I rdiculously keep hoping that I find some method called "disableThisWeirdBug()" in the documentation... :ROFLMAO:

    Going to look into potential debugging tools on Monday... So far I've just tried rebuilding the keystore, but for some reason that doesn't seem to do it. Thankfully I'm done for this week, and thankfully nobody has complained too loudly so far.

    Most probably. That's what I'm looking into right now. Problem is, so far I couldn't coax the server into giving me any information about what's actually going on.

    One fine day, we upgraded our FTP gateway to a newer java version. No code changes. No configuration changes apart from exchanging the JVM. Just rebuilt for the new version, and running on a new JVM. Everything went fine. Until it turns out that since that day, the IP cameras of one particular...

    Question Custom Planet Elevation Maps for Orbiter 2016?

    There's a number of computational issues with poles, but this screenshot looks more like a random noise map got applied without running it through a mercator transformation first (that is assuming the terrain engine transforms the positions in the terrain map to lat-long coordinates, which I...
