    Software Sun causes heavy frame drop

    It sounds to me like bashing. :( Okay, sorry for being a bit offensive here. Yeah, really horrible. But the main reason for this is, that Orbiter uses DirectX and there is no DirectX for Linux except the Wine version. :( And Linux (Debian) is the only OS I have installed (100% free of...

    Software Sun causes heavy frame drop

    Hi, I already found that topic before and followed it plus I installed d3d9 and registered all d3d9 DLLs as native which no change to that frame-drop. My guess here is (and that is what I need to know) that Orbiter uses something very expensive that is not very well supported by a) my card (I...

    Software Sun causes heavy frame drop

    You want to start bashing Linux? Okay, I wait for a better reply from some Linux/Wine gamers here. But wait, I should not feed the trolls. :(

    Software Sun causes heavy frame drop

    I have latest Orbiter 2010 installed correctly (with WINEPREFIX and winetricks to install native runtimes). When I play and not look in the direction of the sun, the frames per second are normal high (30-50 FPS). But when I turn the view (e.g. external view) in direction of the Sun, I got a...

    Orbiter 2010 in Linux

    If you use winetricks, remember that it will install native (Windozer) DLLs and programs which you normally don't want (because you normally want to use the Wine DLLs). To still have vcrunXXXX installed, you need to use WINEPREFIX. So here is some shell code: export...

    Problem Time deacceleration?

    I have accelerated time to 100x now I would like to turn it back to 1x to not miss my target. How do I do so with a keyboard? Tex did manage it in his video tutorial. Sorry for this kind of question, but I didn't find any manual note about it.

    Question How do you create a planetary system in orbiter?

    Copyright And watch out for copyright restrictions, some publisher wants you to pay a fee for using their textures. Just my cent.

    Software Orbiter is working on Linux via Wine

    That Wine has been improved is completely right. Many years ago, you could not play e.g. Deus Ex Invisible War, one year ago you where able to play it. But still some games are not yet support, e.g. Need For Speed II is not working, but Speed-Dreams is a nice free (in free speech or freedom) is...

    Software Page fault on read access

    I have encountered some page fault on read access which causes wine to crash. Maybe you can assist the Wine developers in this case? I would like to keep my Linux installation (no dual-installation, too) because it is reliable (as in stability). :) Here is the bug I have encountered (I use DLLs...

    Orbiter's limits

    Hyperspace or warp drive? An all-in-one simulation, a "general reality simulation" or so? Next to impossible in my view. Of course, you can try to implement interstellar travel, but that requires a lot hard drive space plus RAM plus CPU power plus GPU power - hard drive space for all that...

    Orbiter 2006 on Linux Walkthrough

    I have managed to get it running, not all missions/sceneries, but that is fine. I have the following DLLs downloaded from www.dll-files.com and put in same directory of orbiter.exe (root directory of Orbiter): I have a Quad-Core system with 2.5 GHz each core, 6 GB RAM and GeForce 9500 GT whch...
