    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    I contacted Support for Duet Display, and they said that their program is not compatible with hardware acceleration. Here's the response I received:

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    I found the problem!!! The conflict is coming from a program called "Duet Display." https://www.duetdisplay.com/ It's a program that lets you use your iPad as an external monitor. But it looks like it has some unintended side-effects when it comes to Orbiter and MS Flight simulator...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    Yes, Orbiter did run fine out of the box. I know something did change on my system, but at this point I'm at a loss as to what. However, Orbiter isn't the only program that I'm having this problem with. Microsoft Flight Simulator X now refuses to recognize the graphics card. The Sansar VR...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to everyone on this. I bought a new computer, and had Orbiter running fine - for a few days. But now I seem to have run into the same problem, except this time I have more information. Orbiter2016 doesn't seem to be seeing my Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    I went into the Orbiter_2016/Install folder and ran vcredist_x86.exe. After first trying to repair the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributals, I then tried uninstalling, then reinstalling them. Unfortunately, I'm still in the same place - A spinning cursor when I try to launch...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    @Kuddel - I did as you suggested and installed the DirecX Runtimes. Unfortunately, I'm still facing the same problem - When I run orbiter_ng.exe, all I get is a spinning cursor. When I used the task manager to shut the Orbiter process down, it said that orbiter.exe was not responding. This is...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    I edited my previous post to reduce it. With Orbiter, I created the symbolic links, and tried installing DirectX 9.03, but on that I received a message that "DirectX setup has determined that a newer or equivalent version of DirectX has been installed already. No installation is necessary."...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    Okay - I think I have a lead on the problem. Orbiter 2010 & 2016 don't seem to be compatible with DirectX 12. I've run into a similar problem with Microsoft Flight Simulator X-Acceleration. That program won't run unless I check the Preview DirectX 10 box under the Visual Display Settings tab...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    I completely removed all of my video drivers, then reinstalled fresh. Unfortunately, I'm getting the same problem - A white screen when I try to launch Orbiter 2016 from the menu. So I tried completely uninstalling Orbiter 2010 & 2016, and doing a fresh reinstall using the msi installer. Same...

    Problem White Screen on Startup?

    Hello Everyone, It's been a while since I did anything in Orbiter, but recently when I tried to start it, I was greeted with a white screen when I started a scenario. I have tried this with both Orbiter 2016 & 2010 with the same result. I even tried downloading a clean copy of Orbiter 2016...

    Kindle Fire 7-Cheap Simpit MFDs?

    When I looked through the Black Friday ads I spotted the Kindle Fire-7 (8Gb) on sale for $30. I know they're Android based, and it looks like there's a program for using an Android tablet as a second monitor: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen&hl=en Are...

    Interior Dimensions of Apollo Lunar Module?

    I have that PDF, thanks - It's were I found the numbers I posted. There's two detailed sets of blueprints over at Realspacemodels.com. I guess if I'm serious I'll have to break down and get them... In the mean time, I'll put the info I do have into a 3d model and see where that gets me.

    Interior Dimensions of Apollo Lunar Module?

    Hey Everyone, For some reason, I've got it in my head to build a life-sized interior of the Apollo Lunar Module. I found a great scan of all of the switches and displays of the LM, but what I don't know is how big the panels are. http://heroicrelics.org/info/lm/lm-ctrl-panel.html I have...

    Request Skylab Orbiter 2016?

    Thanks! I really just want to be able to fly the Delta Glider to Skylab, so I don't need an Apollo spacecraft. :)

    Request Skylab Orbiter 2016?

    Hello Everyone! A long time ago (maybe around 2003) I used to use the NASA Skylab space station as another space station to practice rendezvous and docking with. Does anyone know where I can find Skylab for Orbiter 2016? Thanks, -Tc

    Help Getting Around a Basic Simpit Problem

    I've been looking at creating a control panel for the Delta Glider, but it didn't take me long to run into a fundamental problem: How do you convert the output from a switch, which is continuously on, to the momentary signal needed to replicate a keyboard press? I've found one site that...

    Creating a Basic DG Control Panel

    Thanks for all of the kind words! These look great! Where can I find them? I've began collecting parts. I swung by the local Radio Shack (which is going out of business, so I was agle to get parts at 90% off). So far I've purchased a bunch of sub-mini toggle switches, along with a few...

    Creating a Basic DG Control Panel

    Hello Everyone, I was browsing on the web and spotted this article about creating your own game controller: http://www.instructables.com/id/Lets-make-a-game-controller/ So it has inspired me to create a basic control panel for the Delta Glider. Looking at the DG cockpit, I've started by...

    Hardware TrackIR Support for Orbiter 2010/2016?

    Hello, Has anyone successfully managed to get TrackIR 5 to work with either Orbiter 2010 or 2016? TrackIR worked pretty much out of the box with Flight Simulator X, but I couldn't get it to work with the virtual cockpit view for either of the above versions. Pressing F1 would not bring up the...
