    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...

    video MFD?

    Hi all, Since an MP3/Radio MFD exists, I was wondering if it's possible to code a Video MFD that could play .AVI/.MPG/etc files from your PC into an MFD window? I have no coding knowledge whatsoever, but I was thinking if it were possible, that would be a pretty neat thing to have for those...
