IMHO it became a kludge because and ONLY because it was 'ignored' by some in their development efforts and I kept trying to retrofit it back | |||
in on top of a program that was being changed rapidly by some who apparently didn't care about the requirements of the 'reset' functionality. | |||
IMHO being able to pause, restart with initial conditions, restart with arbritray conditions is a good < should I say basic > test of a well designed | |||
simulation. ie one that is controlable As such IMHO and I realize that this may not be your opinion, getting 'restart' working again AND KEEPING it working is a necessary thing todo. | |||
It shouldn't be that difficult in that it only requires that you return the individual parts of the simulation to their initial conditions. It is a GOOD exercise in that it illustrates the interdependencies of the program by rewarding you with a 'hard crash' if you do not understand them.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.mail-archive.com/flightgear-devel@flightgear.org/msg06769.html |title= Crash on reset|author=Norman Vine|date=Wed, 05 Jun 2002 15:48:34 -0700}}</ref>|Norman Vine}} | |||
