Release Date 25-Feb-2019 ## Installation This is a graphics client/engine project to Orbiter Spaceflight Simulator. To install the client you need to download a package from a list below and extract it in the root folder of the Orbiter. Any previously existing files should be replaced. Also to use a graphics client in Orbiter you need to run "Orbiter_ng.exe" instead of "Orbiter.exe" which uses a build in DX7 Engine. The client must be activated from the Modules tab otherwise you will see a command console while trying to start a scenario. Read further information from /Doc/D3D9Client.pdf D3D9Client development and support thread is located in Orbiter-Forum ## DirectX Runtimes You will need a DirectX June 2010 redistributable backage to run the client. If the redistributable package isn't installed in your computer you will receive an error message "The program can't start because d3dx9_43.dll is missing from your computer". Or you may see a pop-up window in Orbiter LaunchPad telling about a missing runtimes. If that happens then download the package from a link below and extract the content of the package in any empty directory you want and then find a Setup.exe and run it. It is a common mistake to forget the run the Setup.exe You can delete the contents of the directory after the setup is completed. The directory is just a temporary storage for the installation files.
