Problem XR2 Ravenstar Crashes

[bcbarnes]

Fresh install of orbiter 2024, hi-res textures, and XR2 Ravenstar. When attempting to launch the first XR2 scenario, orbiter crashes with "XR2PyloadCHM (XR2PayloadCHM-01-1)" and crashes. The log file shows:

000020.282: ============================ ERROR: ===========================
000020.289: Could not load vessel module: XR2Ravenstar (code 193)
000020.295: [Vessel::LoadModule | D:\a\orbiter\orbiter\Src\Orbiter\Vessel.cpp | 5969]
000020.301: ===============================================================

I haven't been able to locate any information on this. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Have you installed the XR2 Official for Orbiter 2024 2.0?

 

[bcbarnes]

Thanks for the reply.

Yes - That is the one I downloaded. I downloaded the XR5 as well, and it works fine (so far).

I should also mention that I am running Windows 11, and an nVidia RTX 2080.

Run in a clean Orbiter 2024 installation as a test. Also, from the log it looks like Orbiter can't find the XR2's DLL:

Could not load vessel module: XR2Ravenstar (code 193)

I downloaded orbiter 2024 and the XR2, and installed in a new directory. Selected D3D9 video. No XR5, no hi-res textures. The same problem as stated in the first post continues.
The file XR2Ravenstar.dll currently resides in the ./Modules subdirectory of the orbiter 2024 installation folder.

I have discovered that if I edit the scenario "1 - Ready for Takeoff to ISS.scn" and remove lines 220 thru 232 (The whole sections XR2-01_Bay and XR2PayloadCHM-01-1) then the scenario loads w/o problem. If I live either of the two sections in the scn file, then it will fail.

 

[bcbarnes]

Additionally, I notice that if i load the fixed scenario from above:

A) I am initially greeted with the cockpit that has 2 MFDs, a surface pitch ladder, and a view of the outside. I expect this is normal.
B) Using F8 to switch to the XR2 specific cockpits does nothing.
C) If I switch to the external view (F1), while that seems to work, the XR2 does not appear.

It's as if the XR2 specific parts of the scenario aren't being loaded.

A little more information: Turns out none of the Altea craft are working. I downloaded the XR1, XR2, and XR5. With all three, depending on the scenario I choose, I either get a CTD, or the scenario is present but there is no ship. External view shows no ship, Internal view shows only the glass cockpit. Trying to switch to other cockpit views does nothing. I'm about ready to give up. I've attached to orbiter log file incase anyone wants to have a look.

Also note that the D3D9Client log shows the following:

(342: 20.8s 00.02ms)(0x708C) Vessel(0x27293350E40) DeltaGliderXR1 has 0 meshes

External view shows no ship, Internal view shows only the glass cockpit.

This looks like the wrong .dll. Are you sure your using the right XR version for Orbiter24?

Your log looks good, except:
000020.170: ============================ ERROR: ===========================
000020.180: Could not load vessel module: DeltaGliderXR1 (code 193)
000020.187: [Vessel::LoadModule | D:\a\orbiter\orbiter\Src\Orbiter\Vessel.cpp | 5969]

wrong .dll or incorrectly installed.

 

[bcbarnes]

Thanks for the reply. The XR2 download zip file is named "XR2Ravenstar-2.0-x86.zip" 35,862 KB. The version of Orbiter I have is the file "Orbiter-x64.zip" 363,883 KB.

I'm curious why one has a -x86 appended while the other has -x64 appended.

 

[Buck Rogers]

OK that could be your problem, make sure they're both the same, I think I'm using 32bit (x86) and everything works fine. AFAIK x64 should work fine too.

 

[misha.physics]

Also, I suppose the XR2 Official for Orbiter 2024 naturally requires the Orbiter 2024 (not a pre-release build), and it's only 32-bit for now:

Ok - that seems to clear things up. The "orbiter-64.zip" was not the one I wanted. Apparently what I wanted was "Orbiter-2024.zip". Everything now seems to be working. Thanks to all those who pitched in to help
