Software Orbiter (of ANY version) on Windows 10 in anything greater than 2048x1152? [SOLVED]

[Slaintemaith]

Because mine crashes to desktop when I try to run my native 3840x2160, even in windowed mode.
Ideas?

Thanks in advance!

The relevant part of the orbiter.log appears to be:

000000.000: **** Creating simulation session
000000.000: DirectDraw interface OK
000000.000: ERROR: Could not create D3DDevice
000000.000: ERROR: Could not initialize 3D environment

...which doesn't appear to be especially relevant, since it works fine in lower resolutions.

Someone will correct me, but I think DirectX 7 can't display that resolution. So you should try one of the external graphics clients.

Maximum resolution is 2048x1536 with dx7, so you're not wrong. Try the dx9 client!

Can only go right with Dx9!

Worked a treat! Thanks all!
I will say that Google Chrome does NOT like the DX9 files at all. Seems to think the site it's on is in disrepute.
Good thing I have the MS Browser.

will the same resolution work with DX8?
