Bug East West Divide !!!

[paddy2]

Have been working on some tiles for a new Base on the Moon. Using Orbiter Base Maker and all going fine. Layer one tiles where fine, a few layer 9 but they where ok.

Added a whole load of layer 4 tiles around the base, all looking good in OBM. Went for a test flight and most of the layer 4 tiles where missing and all of the layer 9!!! Check OBM, cfg file and they where all there. Had a lightbulb moment and added a landing pad 2515 metres from the centre of the base.

The picture below shows what happens if you have a base too close to the 0 degree line.

On one side is some of the layer 4 tiles, then nothing. Even the landing pad has taken a walk. Think my billion dollar base has been built on a swamp!!!:rofl:

Samuel Huntington for orbiter...?? :lol:

might it work if you split the base "in two", and put them there sepperately?

Anyways, I think this deserves a bug report.

I will just move it!!! Still plenty of prime real estate available:dry:

Made me think of the Monty Python/Holy Grail bit about building castles in the swamp. Think I'm going to eat some spam now.

To his defence, I don't think anyone said paddy2 was daft to build a base there . . .

Is this related to the old "don't build things on the poles in Orbiter" problem? That's a fairly hilarious bug though, good spot!

Even so, he built it anyway! Then it sank into the swamp. Then he built another castle!


That is a freaky looking picture though, kind "before/after" look to it.

Orbiter meets twilight zone:hmm:
