See a bug, Kill a bug

Dec. 19, 2006

I've received an email about a bug on the launcher. When you specify a call sign with spaces, FlightGear exits immediately with an error message. Yes, it's suppose to be because it doesn't accept spaces in a call sign. In addition to this issue, I found a new bug on the 'Follow me on the map' function that I added on the other day. When a call sign with more than seven characters is specified, the server truncates it to the first seven characters, but the launcher passes all the characters to a browser. In this case, you can not follow your aircraft on the map.

It's a simple bug so I simply replace spaces with underscores to avoid this issue. I also added a few lines of code to truncate a call sign so you can follow an aircraft on the map.

Please DO NOT post a crash log here. it's hard to read and is not worth reading for most of users. Email it to me directly with some additional information including exact FlightFear version, machine spec, and what was you doing when it went crash. Thank you.
