    Installation can't run any scenarios on first run after install

    Never mind....I figured it out. Was loading the "current state" scenario rather than actually selecting a scenario. It now works perfectly and looks great. Thanks! :)

    Installation can't run any scenarios on first run after install

    Hmmm....well, that's definitely an improvement....now I have all kinds of D3D9 options and I can get to the loading screen in high-res 4K. But after it loads the Neptune cfg file, I get a sudden CTD.

    Installation can't run any scenarios on first run after install

    Sigh....that's probably exactly what it is. It's been about oh, maybe 15 years since I last played with Orbiter. I guess I need to go RTFM about firing up the D3D9 client. Thanks :)

    Installation can't run any scenarios on first run after install

    Hmmmm.....odd. I'm narrowing down what's happening at least. So, I can play fine in windowed mode up to any resolution (I have a 4K TV I'm using as a monitor). If I try to play full-screen, I can only play up to around 1080p resolution; anything higher than that, and I get the "hardware device...

    Installation can't run any scenarios on first run after install

    I just bought a brand new top-o-the-line CyberPower PC, with an nVIDIA 2070 Super video card, created a C:\Orbiter folder, installed DirectX and the vcrdist in the install folder, as well as the D3D9 graphics client, went into the settings and picked out some appropriate settings, and then tried...

    Space Brothers: a must-see TV show...

    Excellent! You're welcome :thumbup: Enjoy! That was such a cool little scene, for a variety of reasons. Episode 3 is maybe my favourite episode so far, actually. I could say more and comment why, but I don't want to give away any plot spoilers for those who haven't seen it yet....

    Space Brothers: a must-see TV show...

    I've just made it to episode 15. Ughh...the new opening theme sequence is HORRIBLE. What's with the dancing??? The first opening theme was SO cool--great song, great visuals...this new one is terrible. I cheated and checked on YouTube...thank goodness it looks like this new opening is...

    haha :) Yeah, the attention to detail is amazing. My favourite part so far was the bit about the chair ;)

    ....for anyone who's ever dreamed of being an astronaut as a kid. Hi everyone. Been a LONG time since I was an Orbinaut, and I haven't posted in forever. But I've been watching a really neat little TV show over the past week, and quickly came to the realization that this is something that I...

    Interview of Martin

    Looking forward to reading the interview. I think I can guess the answer myself, but I'd love to give Dr. Schweiger the opportunity to explain why he's kept Orbiter free all these years (despite the fact he could easily charge money for it and people would pay for it, and despite the global...
