JumpTo and confirm warnings #16

Closed markusbuschhoff closed 8 years ago

markusbuschhoff commented 8 years ago

When using the JumpTo function, there are certain warnings that might come up (like a "not enough fuel for powered landing" warning or "target too far away"). Additionally, a message "push to continue" is shown at the bottom of the TCA window, but clicking on the message actually aborts the jump. It is not indicated how to or where to push. So most often it is completely impossible to use JumpTo feature at all.

This is especially weird, as the warnings seem to be a bit odd: "Not enough fuel" seems to be over-sensible: I tried to manually "jump" on a ballistic trajectory to the given target and then used "land" in its proximity and ended end up having 50% of fuel left (I had to do it manually as I was not able to "push to continue").

When "too far" is shown, this probably means "too close", as this message usually comes up with nearby targets.

By now, I was not able to initiate one successful jump (tried several times with different vehicles and targets). There almost always came up a warning which was forcing me to abort and to do it manually.
