Software Static earth.

Title says more then enough. Somehow my earth stopped spinning on its axis. All motions like wobbling for seasons has stopped to. Its just turns around the sun and the day/night cycle is related to 365days.

This is a serious bug considering i cant really fly anywhere because the ecliptic plane doesnt change either.

Can anybody instruct me on which files to edit to get earth fixed again. Heat is rising considerably.

oh and its only related to earth.
All other planets spin and wobble according to how they should.

Sounds like you've got Multiplayer installed. It stops the rotation for technical reasons (too hard to program I think).

As to getting rid of the no-spinning problem... :shrug:

Sorry.

Been playing around with the configs havent you

the first part Earth.cfg should look like this:

; === Configuration file for planet Earth ===
Name = Earth

ErrorLimit = 1e-8
SamplingInterval = 79          ; interpolation sampling interval [s]
                               ; (interpolation error ~0.1m)

SpecularRipple = TRUE          ; enable specular water microtexture

i take it you recently installed OMP, right?


it's not really a bug... OMP will stop the earth from spinning in order to keep the multiplayer mess to a minimum... it's known to do that, but every now and then, someone finds this "bug"...

so don't lose your hair over it - you now know the cause :thumbup:

 

[Arthurnus]

Oh my gosh, and yes i installed it righ before it happened.
I still got the winrar download sample so to see which files i gotta delete.
Or do I have to completely reinstall orbiter for it to work again?

Just the Earth.cfg i posted above.

 

[Arthurnus]

ty, ill let you know if it works.

• [Problem] It appears that the Earth has stopped spinning.

Extract "Config/Earth.cfg" from the Orbiter installation zip archive and replace existing one with it.

 

[Arthurnus]

thanks for the cfg,
its rotating again.
