Installation Issues.

[Sabinidus]

Okay, I've been having this problem for several years now. Every time I install orbiter on my computer, every single scenario loads completely offset to my monitor display. It's like the display has been dragged almost totally off screen to the left, but the game window itself is perfectly centered but mostly white. It's happened with 2010 and 2016 Orbiter. I have a Windows 10 64 bit desktop. This is driving me crazy because I have no idea how to fix it, and I used to play Orbiter a lot on my old laptop. Can someone give me some pointers please?

(Sabinidus -- I moved your post to a new thread here from the Orbiter 2016 thread since your issue is not specific to Orbiter 2016.)

It sounds like a video settings or video driver issue. Check your Video -> 3D device setting in the Orbiter Launchpad and make sure it is set to Direct3D T&L HAL. Also make sure that Always enumerate devices is set (this is often necessary when you change video cards or video drivers). What model is your video card?

Also, please post the contents of your Orbiter.log file in your Orbiter directory. And does the problem also occur in full-screen mode as well as window mode?

Oh wow that totally solved it. My 3D setting was different. That's awesome that it was such a simple fix (Knock on wood). Thanks!
