The "Black sky" Bug
The sky is constantly black during the day.

  • This problem is normally caused by the following .dll files missing "msvcp71.dll" "msvcr71.dll" and "msvcrtd.dll".
  • Click here to download the DLL's needed. Simply extract them into your Orbiter installation directory.


Gravity readout on "Orbit MFD" always equals 0.00

The gravity readout on Orbit MFD constantly reads 0.00 even while in Earth orbit.

The fix is the same as above



Orbiter Crashes after installation of a new addon
If orbiter crashes after installing a new addon you should try and do the following:

  • Check the orbiter.log found in the same folder as orbiters main executable file.
If you have something like this in you're orbiter.log:
Code:
>>> ERROR: No vessel class configuration file found for:
[COLOR=Red]>>> ERROR: Spacecraft/spacecraft3[/COLOR]
>>>        [C:\Source\Orbiter\Vessel.cpp / 248]
>>> TERMINATING <<<

then you need to install "Vinka's Spacecraft3". If the problem continues after making sure your not missing any files you should make a thread in the “General Questions & Help” section.
