DirectX 10 support is in D3D11Client.

Thanks. But there is something I do not understand. In the modules menu there is the D3D9 and D3D11 tab's.
When I enable only the D3D9 tab it run OK.
But when I deselected the D3D9 tab and enable the D3D11 tab, I get a CTD.
When I enable the D3D9 tab first and then the D3D11 tab, it run OK.
Is this the correct procedure?
Thanks for your patience with me.

Disable the D3D9Client module, close Orbiter, re-launch Orbiter, enable the D3D11Client module. If you have problems then, go and report them in [Project] D3D11Client Development thread. Graphics clients aren't designed to work simultaneously.

How did you eliminate the clipping ?

Easy. Open up D3D9Client.cfg and change NearClipPlaneMode from 0(disabled) to 1(enabled).

Hi,
Just trying to use D3D9Client.
Done everything as per 1st post on this thread, but get ctd on trying to start a standard DG scenario.
Log reads:

PHP:

**** Orbiter.log
Build Aug 30 2010 [v.100830]

**** Creating simulation session
D3D9Client: Sytem has XNA math support
D3D9Client: [3DDevice Initialized]
D3D9Client: [Compiling Effects for Shader Model 3.0]

Any guidance appreciated.

One question please - DOES D3D9Client WORK ON XP ??????????

I guess the answer's NO - Right? Dunno how I missed this -------

Requirements:
OS: Windows Vista 32/64 bit or newer.
Video card: minimum Direct3D 10-compatible, Direct3D 11-compatible recommended as some effects currently work only on Direct3D 11 level hardware
Orbiter: current build is only compatible with 111105 Beta, which can be downloaded from here: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawik...iterPublicBeta

Installation/running instructions:
1. install DirectX 11 June 2010 update. It can be downloaded from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...s.aspx?id=8109
2. download D3D11Client.dll from /Modules/Plugin folder in repository and put it in \Modules\Plugin subdirectory of Orbiter's installation
3. download entire /Modules/D3D11Shaders folder and put it inside \Modules subdirectory of Orbiter's installation.
4. launch Orbiter_ng.exe from Orbiter's root folder, go to "Modules" tab and check D3D11Client - it's under "Graphic engines" category.
5. now go to "Video" tab and set desired window size (currently fullscreen is not supported), then click "D3D11Client Configuration" button and set up client options the way you prefer.
6. After you're done with settings, go to "Scenarios" tab, choose desired scenario and hit "Launch Orbiter" button.
7. Enjoy!
This is the Readme.txt file from here https://bitbucket.org/face/ovp/src/c...T README.txt although I am not currently using the 111105 beta but some how it works. Maybe it has something to do with me also having the DX9 installed first but it works for me in the 100830 build (current)

..and from memory, I think the D3D11 client is for the beta build only, which is why it might CTD in 100830.

D3D9Client does work just fine on Windows XP !!!!!!!

Your quote is from D3D11Client, which requires Windows Vista or newer.

"Modules/D3D9Client/D3D9ClientLog.html"?

Thanks Orb.

"Modules/D3D9Client/D3D9ClientLog.html"?

I don't seem to have this folder in Modules ?????????

Did you extract all the files from the D3D9ClientRC44.zip archive into Orbiter?

D3D9ClientLog.html is a log file of D3D9Client. It should be located in "Modules/D3D9Client" directory.

JMW · Apr 23, 2012

Apologies for wasting your time - trying to be clever - didn't extract all files from zip.
Thanks for your rapid diagnosis. :cheers:

You'll have to also, put a copy of your spacecraft folder in to modules/server/config if you want to use SC3 craft.

Windows XP supports DirectX up to version 9.0c, so yes, you can run the D3D9 client on Windows XP.

EDIT:
Sorry, I did not see that there was another page. The question was already answered. :facepalm:

Screamer7 · Apr 25, 2012

I like the night runway lights effect in D3D client 9.
They looking very good.
If I zoom out with the external view and rotate the camera, the runway lights gets dimmer and disappear totally.
And there is no strobe's pointing to the direction of the runway.
Sorry if this is posted before, but to read trough 1371 + threads seem a daunting task:lol:

streb2001 · Apr 28, 2012

I still can't get this client to run at all. I have tried it on a vanilla Orbiter 2010 P1 install. I have DirectX version 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904) and D3D9Client is enabled in the Modules tab. Ed. I am trying to run the D3D9ClientRC44 release. I get the following from the shell at launch:

Do you have processor which supports SSE2 instructions?

Seems like there's a problem loading the client which explains why you only get the command line shell and not the client. Have you installed the DX9 Redist files: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8109 ?

Do I need a processor with SSE2 instructions for it? My CPU is 3 months too old for having it...

I had the Feb 2010 redist installed. I have just installed the June 201 redist from your link and I get exactly the same error as before.

Er, don't know. Would this be the CPU or the graphics processor?

CPU = AMD AthlonXP 2500+ (I think)
Card = GeForce 7600GS 256Mb DDR2 AGP

The whole PC is about eight years old, so probably not.

You can compile it from the sources without the /arch:SSE2 switch.

streb2001 said:

Athlon XP doesn't support SSE2, only SSE.

As mentioned above, if you have Visual Studio / C++ Express, you can recompile D3D9Client from sources with /arch:SSE instead of /arch:SSE2.
