Delay with upwards facing detector block.

[Dark_Tundra]

I seem to have found a seemingly "random" delay in upward facing detector blocks. I'm sure the delay isn't present in those facing to the side, as I have a walkway whick would be intransversable if the side facing detector blocks had such a delay.

I've noted anywhere between no noticable delay, and between 5 and 6 seconds; all tested using "Steve", thrown blocks, and placed blocks.

Is this expected behaviour? Is this going to impact on my windmill in strong winds? Is this an isolated case?

I apologise if this has already been covered, or if it affects no-one else.

It's not isolated. I've seen it happen in videos and it happens to me. I never thought to report it though.

Yeah, I've noticed this too. It shouldn't be a problem for your windmill, though, as I don't think it breaks until it's been raining for at least a little longer than five seconds.

No, it's not a problem with detecting rain, as Wind Mills only break connected Gear Boxes after 30 seconds in rain.

I'll take a look at it tomorrow though. 5 seconds should be the maximum time it takes it to detect rain when facing upwards (and that's normal), but that shouldn't be affecting other aspects of its operation.

Should be fixed in the latest release (2.71).
