Hey guys. I know the Outer Planets is no longer supported, but I just installed it on my 2010 Orbiter setup (including the patch) and got it to work.
Well, mostly.
I had a CTD with Jupiter's moon Iocaste but I got that to work, it looked like the cfg file didn't copy across right. Same with Saturn's moon Ijiraq.
Now here's where it gets weird.
Jupiter's moon Aitne, I can see the mesh if I'm looking at it from elsewhere (i.e. change my camera view to there), but if I run the Aitne scenario I get a ctd. Same with the Saturn-Iapetus scenario. I can see the mesh if I change the camera view from another scenario, but if I run the Saturn-Iapetus scenario I get a ctd.
The other weird bug is the Jupiter-Metis scenario. The rock mesh shows but the DG is inside the moon, at it's core.
I've been away too long (three years!) so I don't remember much about parameters of the files, but I'll post whatever you guys need. One thing I did notice: In the Iapetus cfg file there's a line that says Module = Iapetus, but there is no module named Iapetus in the base install. Could that be a part of the problem?

Oh, I should mention I'm on Windows 7.

Oh, something else odd (but minor) that I noticed: when I turned on Jupiter's rings... I watched a GIANT Amalthea pass behind Jupiter as Jupiter eclipsed it. :lol:
