    Orbiter 2016 under Wine

    I don't have a 20-intel.conf file. Can't find *vulkan-intel in any of the repos.

    Orbiter 2016 under Wine

    Thanks again. Sadly that didn't help - still getting the same problem. Any other ideas? I can run orbiter.exe with built-in graphics client OK (with a few weird artefacts on the ground textures) so can at least get my orbiter fix that way, but it makes my machine run hot. My nuclear option is...

    Orbiter 2016 under Wine

    Thanks for your help. I uninstalled wine from the winehq repo (it was causing to many dependency problems when I tried installing other packages) and reinstalled it from the the official Fedora repo. I was then able to install all your suggested packages with the exception of vulkan-info...

    Orbiter 2016 under Wine

    I have the same missing text problem as described by MXK, but under Fedora. I previously solved this problem by downgrading to Wine 4.x on Fedora 31, but I can no longer do this for Fedora 32 as WineHQ only offer versions 5.x. Does anyone know the Fedora package(s) I should install for the...

    Software Wine runs smoothly, then crashes after ~25 minutes

    Classical Field Theory.

    My favourite book in this area is an oldy but a goody: Classical Mechanics by Herbert Goldstein. It's a comprehensive graduate-level text on the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulations of classical physics, starting with the descrete case and, later in the book, generalising to the continuum...

    General Question field of view

    Another thought.... the Moon, viewed from Earth, subtends about 0.5 deg at the eye which is about the width of your thumb at arm's length. So look at the Moon in orbiter (from Earth or LEO) and adjust the FOV until your thumb just covers it.

    General Question field of view

    You can get a quick FOV estimate using the old astronomy technique of holding your clenched fist vertically and at arms length from you to measure the angle subtended vertically by the screen (ie the FOV). See http://www.oneminuteastronomer.com/860/measuring-sky/
