Nothing that looked helpful. Just tons of error codes indicating missing plugins.

I had something very similar happen to me. The only remedy was a complete new reinstall of Orbiter and D3D9.

Well, I tried that but the problem remains. So it's nothing wrong with my Orbiter install, but rather a dependency on my computer somehow got deleted in this Windows update. Trying to run diagnoses to narrow down the issue.

Missing video tab is/was a clear indication of something missing, but right now I can't remember what it was off the top of my head.

I found one of my old notes (quoting this post) where I wrote "if you don't install latest DirectX, Orbiter's video TAB could not be displayed".
So, get June2010 version

Download DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010) from Official Microsoft Download Center

I am making a test for the space shuttles. I am using D#D9 version 4.25 for 2016

I get a CTD and get this in the log;

When I add this vessel MEEP1 I get this error:

The latest version of the client for R90 Beta does not support virtual cockpit lights, it appears, is there a reason for this, or could those be reënabled?

I wasn't aware of that. There must be an error somewhere in the code. Currently the only active branch of development is for the Open Orbiter. Move to a Git created a small mess with the development so, It's very likely that no new versions will be published for R90 Beta or Orbiter 2016.

Okay. That's not necessarily a problem. It just means we'll have to wait a bit longer for cockpit lights in NASSP.
