Software CTD when using 2 DGIV's at the same time - Orbiter-Forum

Revolpathon · 12-20-2009, 12:50 PM

i'm trying to get 2 DGIV's to ISS while docked together, i manage the take off and all and get them into orbit, when i attempt to dock it crashed to desktop, luckily i made a save and using that i managed the dock, but i keep getting CTD's when flying both of them together, is it orbiter that just dislike's it or is my computer the one who's being stubborn

hardware specs: core i7 920, nvidia geforce gtx 260, 6 gb Geil ram, rampage II gene motherboard, 22 inch widescreen iilyama lcd screen
software: basic orbiter p1 2006 with earth L10 high res ksc, wideawake, orbiter sound 3.5, DGIV, i got numerous other texture enhancement and a few mfd's installed but the only plugins that are loaded for this challenge are screditor and orbitersound.

I've got 4 DG IV's in my scenario so orbiter doesn't mind having many copies.

Can you post your orbiter.log after the crash?

i'll have to recreate it , so it might take a while.

i have a log, though i can't seem to make sense of where the problem lies in it., the crash happened right after docking with the 2nd DGIV.

sorry for the double post but somehow it didn't show up when i returned here to post the log. but noww it's there again. can someone delete it?

make sure you've got "always enuermate devices" ticked in the Video tab, looks like you are using a default video driver due to the "Device has no hardware T&L capability" message. You want to select one that does have T&L capability.

How are you docking the DG IV's? You said that they are docked to each other so how are you docking them to the ISS?

well it would be more time consuming to fly the 2 craft to iss individually, so i dock them together, and when i'm close (3k or less) to ISS then i put Viss to 0.0x and then undock the 2 crafts and dock them to ISS.

i'll try to run it with enumerate.

it's strange though i use the latest nvidia drivers and my card is still in the top range segment of cards so it should support it.

problem seems solved
