    [April Fool] Facebook acquisition notice

    It was posted on April 1st, and it's an April Fools joke. The forum is doing fine financially (although the donation widget isn't working), so no need to worry. :)

    Question Any program can read and search multiple text files?

    I like using The V File Viewer; it can search entire trees of files as well, and can even use regex if you like. Been using it for all kinds of file viewing (even hex) for many years now.

    General Question I'm completely new to this program and its forum. What forums should I go to? What should I learn?

    Welcome to Orbiter Forum! I suggest checking out Go Play In Space as a tutorial on how to get the DeltaGlider into orbit. :) Once you get used to that, you can tackle the space shuttle.

    Resolved Signature images hosted on the forum are broken

    I've been noticing that all the signature images hosted by the forum are broken (they show a 404 error). e.g., https://www.orbiter-forum.com/pictures/thumbs//14/63fc04361ddec9c5c3c02b85b4578cf4_14695.jpg?dl=1463942867 It seemed to start about a month ago, but I'm not sure.

    General Question XR2 Passengers

    XR passenger loadout is tracked by UMMu, and UMMu support was temporarily removed from the XR vessels due to UMMu not being compatible with Orbiter 2016. This means you will not be able to change crew loadout or egress/ingress crew members until if and when an Orbiter 2016-compatible version of...

    Problem XR vessels load at an angle on the ground

    The XR vessels were built using the publicly released Orbiter 2016, not the Orbiter beta, so it is normal that they don't work correctly running under the Orbiter beta. That would require a new build of the XR vessels compiled against the Orbiter beta, and those versions have not been built yet. :)

    Problem XR vessels load at an angle on the ground

    I would retest in a clean Orbiter 2016 installation folder with only XRSound and the XR vessel(s), as it is likely that another add-on is causing this.

    Orbiter_ng not working after power outage?

    It looks like the D3D9Client module is not activated for some reason. I would try this: Run orbiter_ng.exe, but don't launch a scenario yet. Click the "Modules" button in the launchpad and then look in the "Graphics engines" section. Make sure that "D3D9Client" is checked (enabled). Click the...

    Discussion How to create DLL for selfdesigned launchpad

    I would test it running in windowed mode instead of full-screen -- anytime Orbiter loses focus (e.g., via alt-TAB) when in full-screen mode, it breaks with the message shown above, in my experience, at least. But you can run Orbiter in windowed mode instead of full-screen, and then the focus...

    What music are you listening to?

    Yeah, Wacken is my favorite! I own the studio-recorded version of Ghost Love Score, but the studio mix is such that the choir vocals are IMO way too loud, and you can't hear Floor nearly as well. So I pretty much only listen to the live versions. ?

    What music are you listening to?

    Another of my favorites, this one from Nightwish. Floor Jansen's vocals in this just blow me away, and this was live:

    My favorite cover of one of my favorite songs (I love the lyrics so much!) ?

    Updates NASA's Mars 2020 Rover

    Yeah, turns out you're right! I mistook that for Perseverance since it was just posted on Twitter today. :cry:

    Updates NASA's Mars 2020 Rover

    Sound ON! EDIT 6 hours later: Turns out the above clip was from the Curiosity rover, not Perseverance, which probably explains why the tweet was since deleted.
