Probably because Bitdefender doesn't know what it is. It's safe, just disable or add an exception.

This doesn't seem to be working for me. I unzipped the archive to the root folder, ran Orbiter_ng.exe, enabled the D3D9 client module, but when I open a scenario it just goes straight to a console and there's no "Video" tab available. I'm new to Orbiter so I'm wondering if I've missed a step?

After activating the module, go to the "Video" tab and check if a 3D device is selected. This should be your graphics card, or onboard-graphic chip, or a software renderer.

Then go to "Advanded" button in the right bottom. This allows to configure the D3D9 client.
Here - at the bottom - click on "Create symbolic links".

Hi All,
There isn't a Video tab appearing on the screenshot @francisdrake,

You may need the DirectX June 2010 redistributable package @ghostpilot.
See the "Overview" tab at the start of this thread.
Although I'd expect you to get one of the messages mentioned in Overview.
You can get the package here

If all else fails, try deleting, downloading and activating again.

Thanks @JMW that's got it working now. Yeah I didn't get the error message mentioned in the Overview, but I installed the June 2010 DX9 package, reinstalled Orbiter + this addon. I got an error message about a missing runtime entry point but a reboot fixed that. All good now, thanks very much!
