Hi Guys,

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new facility for letting the developers know about bugs / issues you are having with EECH (not EE2, unfortunately - that's commercial still).

This system has gone live today and you can find it at:

EECH Bug Tracker

Arne already has an account there (as do I, more about that later) so you will still reach the same bunch as posting here.

A manual of sorts for the system can be found on the original developers' site:

MantisBT Manual

The system is fairly straight forward. There is an anonymous posting option for quick reports and also a registration system so users can sign up, post bugs and track their progress.

I'm hoping that the next 12 months are going to see even more amazing things like those that Arne and the gang have already brought to EECH - so managing some of that change will get more complicated as time goes by - hence this system.

Reporting a bug is pretty straight forward - you need to provide:

• Category (bug type - eg AI, Graphics)
  
• Summary (Overview of your issue)
  
• Description (As much detail as you can manage)

Extra information is always helpful and there is space also for:

• Platform (use the Select Profile dropdown for quick options)
  
• Product Version (only 1.12, 1.12.1 and 1.12.2 are listed as upgrading should probably be tried before posting bug reports)
  
• Steps To Reproduce
  
• Additional Information
  
• Upload File (screenshot if you have, or crash logs if they will help, etc)

Let's see if we can't give Arne and the other developers an easier time with all their future updates and bug fixing

(Quick intro - I've been lurking here for years and years, as with the developers list and I've finally got time to do something about my favourite helo sim - so this is item number one - I'm a developer too, so unless I get run over there'll be a bunch more to come)

Hey Martin,

Sounds like good news! Well for use folks that don't do developing anyway...

I like bug fixing - so we're all in luck there with EECH

There's currently no feature request menu option, but I'll be looking at that when I'm not earning money today! The underlying system knows about feature requests, but I need to adjust the menu so that normal people can get there without being overwhelmed with options.

If people have feature requests - add them as issues for now and they'll be moved to the right places.
