noted Looking for EGKA clock query response please.

[Jon Clarke]

There have been several reports about the clock face lacking hands but to date no acknowledgment or response from Orbx support.

Please look at this and advise if it a user error, a missing library object or something else. Files have been verified.

The clock hands were obviously there at some point when taking the product screenshots in OrbxDirect, and subsequently something has gone wrong with the download content.

Hello,

for the record, I have seen this and the other four posts on the same subject.

I am in the same position as you, waiting for a reply from the developer.

[Jon Clarke]

Thanks Nick. Just wanted to make sure the situation/observation was acknowledged.

I heard from somewhere very unofficial that the metal alloy used in the first batch of hands was prone to fully reversing load factor failure as the hands swept around the clock face in a never ending dance of chance, and rather than facing the risk of injury to the AI characters below, not to mention potential lawsuits from X Plane plane owners should one of the hands pierce the thin skin of an XP11 aircraft, the developers were forced by the legal department to remove the hands and put them into storage until a better and stronger alloy could be modelled under XP11's somewhat obscure coding.

 

But rest assured the devs are working around the clock in the Orbx foundry testing materials, some of which do show promise, though a final engineeringly-certifiable product may still be some time off.

 

Hope this helps.

Hi everyone,

 

Sorry for the lack of response, I wanted to check this out properly first. It looks like this bug crept in at the 11th hour...

 

It's sorted now and a patch will be coming as soon as we can get it tested.

Thanks for the helpful (and witty) replies!

Now that's just silly!
