Software Orbiter keeps CTD upon booting

[justeb27]

Just downloaded orbiter for a school project but it keeps crashing. Any help is greatly appreciated
Ive tried:

• Installing directx https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109
• Downloading d3d9 but it doesnt show under modules
• Tried using both ng and regular version of the game, no diff
