[2.0.21] Changing platform destination does not update remote view planet transit arrows

Post by Kosterface »

What did you do?
I have a platform in transit between two planets.
In Remote View there's a Platforms subsection that when a platform is in transit, shows Source Planet -> Destination Planet.
I change the destination, reversing the direction of my platform.
What happened?
The Remote View section did not update the Source or Destination Planet, showing the platform as still in transit to the wrong planet.
The platform travel block (speed, weight, etc) showed the updated destination and distance correctly.

What did you expect to happen instead? It might be obvious to you, but do it anyway!
I expect the Platforms section of the Remote view to show the correct destination planet. Without this change at a glance it may seem the change in destination command wasn't processed.

For platforms that have their destination changed mid-transit, I'm less certain what the source planet should be represented. If Nauvis->Vulcanus is interrupted and sent back to Nauvis, it's unclear to me if Nauvis should be represented as both the source and destination, as that routing isn't normally possible.
Does it happen always, once, or sometimes?
It repeats trivially for me, so I haven't attached a save file.

Welcome to the forum, and thank you for the report.

Looks like a duplicate of 120447 Platform destination indicators in remote view don't always update (platforms/list).
