first off, congrats on a great MOD. I was playing around with a mission in FRED, and I noticed during playtesting that if you set a crew shuttle to dock with a freighter, the shuttle will start docking and then do an "insta-fold" thing to about 1e9 km away (I was trying to make a rescue-the-freighter-in-distress mission). as I'm not very knowledgeable of FS2 code, I didn't look in as to the cause. but, I figured you guys would want to know.

btw, now that you have a release out, you might want to put a page on your website of known bugs. that way you don't get flooded with emails/posts of "I found this weird behavior in ____"

again, nice MOD

Working on a bug list. Only so much time in one day.

Sounds like a docking point error. Thats usually why a ship goes to 50 bazillion KM away.

it's a point error - there is only one point.. there needs to be two - the second at an offset that i need to look up (i used to have it memorized it's like (0, -0.3, -0.1))
