Feedback on version 4.0 software
Posted: Sat Dec 11, 2004 1:51 am
The software looks very nice and is quite intuitive. However, the curve editor is significantly unfinished. I suppose that's why it's a beta, but as it stands, it's almost unusable.
Using TrackIR3 NOT with 6DOF.
i) Mirror values does not work correctly. When you click on one edit point, the value of the mirrored edit point jumps up significantly more. e.g., I click on edit point 5 and move it to 38, but edit point -5 jumps to 58. Click on edit point -5 in order to adjust it, and edit point 5 then jumps to another value. Generally, edit points are very unstable when Mirror values is checked.
ii) If you place the cursor in the Value box in order to manually edit it, the value jumps up apparently randomly. e.g., I click in the Value box and instantly the value jumps to 80. In addition, the corresponding graph goes off scale, even though such values should be within the blue graph box.
iii) The first time you uncheck the Mirror vlaues check box, the middle edit point jumps up randomly.
iv) If you manually move one of the edit points to a specific value (as shown in the Value box) as soon as you release the mouse button, the value jumps up or down by 1.
v) The graph in the Curve editor blue box sometimes has little or no resemblance to that presented in the Guages screen.
vi) The middle edit point appears not to remain in the value you specify. I always resets itself to something like 39.
There are numerous other aspects that are broken but I'd rather not spend my weekend noting things you should have seen before the release.
I'm sure you'll fix this soon, but I must say I'm quite surprised and dissapointed in the release of something so obviously broken. Looks like you've bitten off more than you can chew with your release date.
