Discussion Post in thread 'NASSP Orbiter 2024 Compatibility Thread'

Jan 11, 2025

Hi, just getting back into NASSP after a two year hiatus, and I need to update a lot of stuff. For the slower folks (E.g. me), should I continue using Orbiter Beta, or go ahead and install Orbiter 2024 and run NASSP on that? Thanks.

NASSP officially only supports Beta right now. Work is underway to support Orbiter 2024, but we don't officially support it yet. When we do, there will be a big announcement post.

• n72.75

• 

NASSP is not yet supported (officially) for 2024, everything you do is thus really your own responsibility and if you are not sure about what you are doing there, better stay at Orbiter 2016 for NASSP.

Next, since if you read the thread, you might argue that its indeed possible to run it on 2024 with limitations, I would suggest you start from zero with your installation and follow the instructions to the letter first.

Nassp v8 only works with orbiter R90 this is how to:

Installing beta versions​

Orbiter development snapshots are occasionally posted to a subversion (SVN) repository. To try the bleeding edge of Orbiter, check out the latest version from SVN.

• You need an SVN client installed on your system. On Windows, Tortoise SVN is a popular choice.
• Create a directory for your beta installation (it is strongly recommended not to install the beta version into an existing Orbiter 2016 installation directory).
• Check out the head revision from svn://svn.orbiter-forum.com/orbiter. If you are using Tortoise SVN, the easiest way to do this is via the File Explorer context menu:
  • Open the File Explorer, and navigate to the beta directory you created.
  • Right-click in the empty directory display, and select "SVN Checkout..."
  • In the checkout dialog, set "svn://svn.orbiter-forum.com/orbiter" as the URL of the repository.
  • Make sure the checkout target directory is correct.
  • Set Checkout Depth to Fully recursive.
  • Make sure the HEAD revision is selected.
  • Click OK, and wait for the SVN download to finish.
• In the future, you can update you beta installation by clicking "SVN update ..." from the Explorer context menu in the Orbiter beta directory.
• Note that the texture maps for most of the planetary bodies are not included in the SVN repository. You need to install those separately. The easiest way is to re-use the texture directory from an existing Orbiter 2016 installation:
  • If you haven't done so yet, install Orbiter 2016, and optionally the high-resolution texture packs.
  • In your Orbiter Beta installation directory, open Orbiter.cfg in a text editor If this file doesn't exist, just launch orbiter.exe and close it again. This will generate a default Orbiter.cfg.
  • Add the line
    TextureDir = <path-to-Orbiter2016>\Textures\",
    where <path-to-Orbiter2016> is the full path to your Orbiter2016 root installation directory.
