OHM DESCARTES Deep Space Vessels

[OrbitHangar]

Author: gregburch

Late 21st-century deep space vessel. Requires Vinka's spacecraft3.dll. Full documentation is provided in the DSV.html file in the Doc\DESCARTES folder. Reviewing this document is highly recommended, as most scenarios require download of other addons, which are noted in the full documentation.

Good

A Nice addon.

I really like the design vision of all the gregburch addons. Futuristic but with a very believable look into the future.

Very ¨2001´sh¨ and I like it. :thumbup:

 

[greyrogue715]

Greg, these packages are absolutely top notch. The detail is amazing. I certainly appreciate all the hard work you did on these. The scenarios, spacecraft, manuals, all very well put together. I downloaded all of them.

I look forward to more great products in the 'future' lol.

This vessel looks very good.

But GregBurch hasn't been on this forum since December 2010, and the last add-on he uploaded was in October 2008.

Yeah I know. Nonetheless.

It's great how he creates add ons with quality for the sake of those with passion for orbiter... This is seriously hard work... The design, the animations, not to mention the coding... I cant imagine how long and hard this is for him. Thank you so much Greg..

Check out other Greg's addons. They're all masterpieces.

Is there a way the Descartes can be made D3D9 compatible?

 

[Kendo]

I cant see any reason why it isn,t, it doesn,t physically alter anything to do with a mod.

 

[MaverickSawyer]

What about the textures? Do those need tweaking?

 

[fleurenf]

I think so. Having looked at the Orbiter.log file, a texture issue prevents it from loading. It crashes when I launch with Orbiter_ng.exe. No problems when I launch with Orbiter.exe.

I'll upload the log tonight when I get home from work.

In addition though, I think it may be the Total Immersion - Descartes addon that causes the CTD. Not certain though.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

I hate to ask the dumb question, but you did create a symbolic link?

Thanks for the question PhantomCruiser. To answer in short, yes I did.

 

[PhantomCruiser]

OK cool. I've been bitten by that on one of my Orbiter installs. I had a really good self-facepalm moment after an hour or two of some pretty blue language.

You may be on to something with the Total Immersion idea. I kept getting a CTD when using the T-I rendition of the TX spaceplane. I don't think I ever figured it out.

Module videnie.dll ........... [Build 110912, API 100830]

I see videnie plug-in in your orbiter.log, which won't work with D3D9Client. You should disable it for external graphics clients.

And yes, the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3834"]Total Immersion - Descartes[/ame] add-on is causing the crash and not this add-on:

C:\Orbiter 2010 - Beta\Modules\TotalImmersion\Descartes.dll EntryPoint=0x04B9F210, Base=0x04B90000, Size=126976

Please reinstall it without the "Total Immersion" extension.

 

[fleurenf]

Thanks Orb.

I should mention it then in the Total Immersion - Descartes Post.

 

[Cizurator]

This addon is...just... stunning, breathtaking, perfect. Just like the space itself.

Has somebody noticed, that our old friend HAL 9000 is on board too?
