Wow K_Jameson, Marillion, the soundtrack to my youth! It got me trawling through their catalogue.... and This seems kind of appropriate right now (going way back):

What about /Modules/Server/Orbiter.exe? Isn't it that that gets launched by Orbiter_ng.exe?

I saw Del Amitri in Sheffield in 199-something. Awesome, I'll never forget their version of the Ace Of Spades...

Well, 'one' can, but first you have to work out which way to point it, and that ain't usually straight at your destination (although, Blixel does a good job here 4kXphuvlKPg of doing just that) I second/third other suggestions to have a look at Go Play In Space and David's beginner's guide. Do...

Hi Steph, check your PMs. WE.

Do we even know what the issue is? (Other than 'the batteries keep exploding'). What's different about the Note 7's battery compared to other phones - have they tried to push the capacity too much? Why were they exploding when not being charged? I haven't seen any detail in all the meeja reports...

So included in this pack Computerex Add-on Pack is 'orbHoverDust', compiled for 2006 though. I made unsuccessful code-noob-attempts to compile it for both 2016 and 2010. It would need modifying to reference altitude above surface rather than mean radius (get Altitude(AltitudeMode,) etc)...

Reproduced, but only using "copy to clipboard". "Save to file" works OK for me.

Yes, it's one of the more obvious ones with a lot of pixellation and hard edges. I'm no graphic artist - I just used some manual blur, smudge and occasional heal in Gimp. Here's what it looks like in the original (attached) I didn't want to mess too much with each bit, because I was working...

Hi Ripley Hopefully this is one of several scenarios where I've hand-corrected the cloud textures - the issue is present in the base image from which the cloud textures have been generated. See http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=540114#post540114 I've submitted the modified textures...

Screen Capture Screen capture seems to be handled quite nicely in vanilla Orbiter 2016 - CTRL+Print Screen brings up a 'capture frames' dialogue where individual shots or sequences can be saved. See the F1 help in-game.

I've been using Windows 10 roughly since it first appeared. I don't recall any issues with the D3D9 client not displaying a window correctly. One issue I did have was when using multiple displays (laptop plus external monitor) - sometimes the render window would be positioned off-screen if I...

Earth Cloud Texture Adjustments - Orbiter 2016 Hand-adjustments to some Earth cloud tiles used in Orbiter Beta/2016 RC that display minor glitches. These are mainly level 9, 8 and some 7 tiles, and are ones that I have noticed whilst in LEO in Orbiter 2016. They are present in the source image...

OK you can disregard the above. I'm not able to confirm right now, but I don't think I checked the linear/cubic setting when running d3d9 client, sorry. :facepalm:
