For some reason the selection box where you select the spaceport is blank. same results as shown with a clean installation of orbiter. I dont know if its a bug with this version of orbiter or that its incompatible with this version. I have double check to be sure that there isnt anything thats interfering the spaceports and everything is good. I still dont know why its still not showing the spaceport. a little help

EDIT: I spoke to woo482 and others in the IRC chat. and they said that it works only in the june 6th version of orbiter but not with the august 30th version of orbiter

Meaning ... there is currently no working version of AutoFCS for Orbiter 100830 or newer...

That's quite a significant problem, since there is no other way to hold the Shuttle's required AoA yourself without autopilot. That reminds me, Glideslope MFD will crash on load when used in an installation that includes the Shuttle Fleet (4.5 P1). Which is yet another drawback of this otherwise great addon - you must use the GPC MFD even for non-shuttle vessels. I guess I should install Aerobrake MFD again - I don't really leave Earth during my sim sessions, anyway.
