The Descent Rate should be limited or the Preview will not work at all!

Ray Kao

Currently, the Descent Rate can be changed to any value.

And, with a positive(?) descent rate value, it will make the Preview run as an infinite looping.

Thus, the preview will not work at all and simulation does not work at all, too.

I don't know what will happen with the positive(?) descent rate in a real flight but it seems to be a serious issue to me.

Picture 1: The descent rate should not be a positive value.

 

Picture 2: With a positive(?) descent rate, the preview generation will not stop... If this happens in a real flight, it is definitely not good.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the way, I tested some of different descent values:

0.1 => Preview OK; but the actual preview mission is not ok

>0.5 => Preview generation never stops...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conversely, a negative Ascent Rate will also cause a similar problem.

    Thanks for the report. For now, don't do that :)

    Good catch. I Checked and noticed it’s only in the settings section, not when trying to change it on any path, orbit or destination. Not sure what issue it may cause when actually running a mission. Just a bit more info. Enjoy.
