Howdy comrades!
So I run Ubuntu (9.04), and have installed Wine, and through the winetricks utility, have installed the VCRun6 that Orbiter wants.
Oddly enough, I have a bare install of Orbiter running very dandily on my laptop night now.
However, my only problem is that the keyboard isn't registering.
Since the mouse is, I managed to get the DG into something resembling an orbit (with use of main thruster pitch to turn/rotate in atmosphere, and manuver a bit outside of the atmosphere.
Currently I'm in a 795x256km orbit at an inclination of 45. Not too bad with no other controls.
Any thoughts on what I might need to do to have the keyboard function?
and.... it just crashed. oh well.
