A strange one here....
Just thought I'd post this as I have NO clue whats going on. Firstly this is a MP test.
Right, I was just messing around with the code as you do when you need to get your mind away from a specific problem (good tip for newbs btw, if your brains screwed to a problem, play with something else for a bit
)
I changed the type of the NY-Cali jumpgate to dyson_airlock. Now its ids name just changed to Police Airlock. Also, when some traffic went near it, it opened. Here comes the weird part.
I went inside the airlock and was just flying around at the bottom. Without warning, I was thrown to the California system. The console and the chat menu still said that I was in NY but on my screen I was in Cali. But not at the Cali-NY jumpgate. I was in the exact place where the NY-Cali jumpgate is in NY. I docked at Planet LA aswell. Even more weirdness, when I F1'ed out and selected my character again, I was back in NY but in the place where I left the ship in the Cali system. As a test, I flew around and tried again. I actually managed to plan it so I ended up inside Manhatten (not at the base, inside the Planet). I just flew back out btw.
Now, this is obviously some sort of bug but I can't figure out the thinking of FL here in why I kept getting thrown without any jump sequence or anything. Any help or explainations or comments would be nice
EDIT: I just read this back and sounds very much like the frauds that came up in the past, to try yourselves, change the type of a jump from jumpgate to dyson_airlock
