Hi,
As the title says, I can't get into Orbit using multistage 2015. I'm currently using Orbiter Beta V190914 or R90. Please, if you can, let me know what I can do.

What do you mean? Does it run out of fuel before getting orbit?

It makes sense. If you run the 2015 edition of an addon on a post-2016 version of Orbiter, you are likely to run into problems. Because the sets of instructions that are part of Orbiter's core have changed a bit, and some functions simply don't work the same way.

Addons should be re-compiled against the latest version of Orbiter.

I tested MS2015 in orbiter beta r90 and everything works correctly except the MFD. I recompiled the MFD here and with that installed the SLS that comes with MS2015 works just fine. Roll, Pitch, and perfect orbital insertion. I think something with your launcher or guidance file is all fouled up.

I am not sure if related but I tested a scn with the same guidance. And the orbits were different between d3d9 and normal graphics:

-30.000 =orbit(425,437,28.45,-1)

The default graphics shuttle orbits ok. while the d3d9 hits the atmosphere

Hmm. Maybe much higher frame rate has something to do with this?
When I tested this, I just set up a quick and dirty beta install just to test this (I didn’t want to mess with my NASSP install!) so I didn’t bother to install D3D9.

Hmm, I can not imagine how the graphics client would change the guidance.
I noted that the inclination is a bit different between your two launches. Could be, that during the D3D9Client the (Orbiter) core had more time to "add" wind effects - affecting the launch profile more? Just a guess.

with the guidance file:
orbit(402,471,28.45,-1)

presskit:
Orbit/Inclination: 250 nautical miles/28.45 degrees 463KM = 250nm
