Problem Solaris Module Renaming

[Tycho]

I've got an unusual but persistent problem with Mustard's Solaris Module. It will load under normal circumstances, when the module is named "solaris" in the .scn file:

BEGIN_DESC
Solar module "Solaris" in orbit.
END_DESC

BEGIN_ENVIRONMENT

END
END_SHIPS

But if I attempt to rename the module to "solaris3" (such that I can have multiple of them in a scenario), Orbiter will crash (and it doesn't seem to matter what I rename it to):

BEGIN_DESC
Solar module "Solaris" in orbit.
END_DESC

The scenario file is identical, except for the name of the spacecraft (it's still calling up the same .cfg file). For the record, I've not duplicated this with any other spacecraft, only the Solaris module. Here's the log after CTD upon loading the "solaris3" scenario:

Any ideas? Am I doing something wrong or missing something obvious? Thanks.

Just by looking at the content of the add-on, it's using Spacecraft2 and not a dedicated module.

You need to make a hard/symbolic link to Solaris.ini file or copy it to solaris3.ini in the Config/Spacecraft subdirectory of Orbiter for it to make it work correctly with "solaris3" name.

Hmm, figures it was a fairly obvious fix. I'm just not used to hard-coding scenarios w/ spacecraft2. I copied solaris.ini over into another one named solaris3.ini and everything is back to normal.

Thanks, orb. :thumbup:
