This is incredible! It's working great! You have done an excellent job on this!

There's one small graphical error, not really a bug, and not critical at all, but the button description text on the top lines blend together for me. But since I know what things do, it won't matter too much. Also it looks like the left-side button descriptions are out of order. But again, not that critical.

Thanks for the feedback. I shifted the buttons as a last minute thing, but I'll fix up those descriptions in a 1.01 release.

Can you let me know your video settings and ship you are flying, so I can reproduce the blending lines. A picture would also be great.

The title is painted with a standard call, and the rest is drawn by an algorithm choosing the right pixels. You must have an interesting combination is not quite working right, but it's a tiny fix.

It's the text to the right of the "select mode" description.
That's from the XR2 in a 1600x1000 windowed Orbiter, inline graphics.

Again, thanks for all the hard work you put into this addon, it's wonderful!

Really appreciated, my friend!

OK - I have the text descriptions sorted out now. Here's a quick patch for you. Unpack it into Modules\Plugin\ over the existing one.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

Looks like an instant addition to my "must-have" addon list!

 

[Keatah]

Did someone say there was a new high quality add-on in town? :shifty:

 

[boogabooga]

Wait, I'm confused.
Wasn't this released a while ago? :blink:

 

[Keatah]

Maybe..? It's new to me anyhow!

Andrew: Thank you very much for your appreciation. It's all very nice to read.
Small erratas to the docs:
- you may sell a GPL-based product for money, as long as you guarantee a way of providing the source code (no data is required). This is practiced in the real world.
- my name is Szymon, not Syzmon, but don't worry, as on my bank card they've written Szynom, and it's all fine while the cash flows :lol:

Wait, I'm confused.
Wasn't this released a while ago?

It was some sort of a public beta with a non-functioning autopilot.

I can't find the thread. :blush:

When i try to activate your module in the orbiter start window, orbiter says that "VesselHooking.dll" is missing at my computer. Later in the simulation i can not find your MFD.

Sorry, but it seems that I will be the strongest bugfinder in the future because I found some bugs in the last time for some new add-ons :hmm:.

Enjo's HUD drawer is required for this Add-on -> [ame="http://orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=6023"]HUDDrawer SDK v.0.3[/ame]

In the documentation:

Pre-Requisites

HUDDrawer SDK v.0.3 or later
This is Enjo’s HUD hooking code. Please download from orbithangar.com.

In his defense, it's easy to miss because it's the only prerequisite in the documentation with no direct link. I almost missed it too.

 

[Enjo]

Perhaps I should have included the link in the dll's file name

 

[C3PO]

A missing dll should tell you to read the manual more carefully.

Anywho..... I just gave this a try, and it's a keeper. Most definitely a must-have addon.

It's very hard to make Auto-docking 'realistically careful' without taking forever (for a 'gamer') to complete. This MFD has it pretty much spot on. Good job! :thumbup:
