Hi - I've reinstalled Orbiter on a new computer after not having played it since my old Win 10 machine. Using the Delta Glider I can't get a response to keyboard commands to adjust throttle (for example). Using the mouse and actuating controls on the 2D panels, some controls don't work. For example, I can use the mouse to move the left throttle but not the right. I'm able to get Hover engines to fire. I have not tried all craft, but haven't been able to get any response to main throttle commands on any so far.

Is this a typical issue? Maybe associated with Win 11? I'm running Orbiter in Win 8 compatibility mode.

Thanks for any help.

Welcome to Orbiter-Forum! :welcome:

Orbiter 2016 is running fine for me on Windows 11 without any compatibility mode set. Are you in a 100% clean Orbiter 2016 installation for your testing? I would start with that, and then gradually install add-ons one-at-a-time, retesting after each one is installed. You shouldn't need to set any Windows compatibility mode.

Do you have a non-standard keyboard layout?

Yes - brand new Orbiter installation so far (not even sound). Thanks for the info on your set-up. So not uniquely Win 11 problem. Hmmm.
