General Question Change Loading Screen Image

[Adrian]

Hey everyone,

is it possible to change the Orbiter loading screen background image? It would be really cool if you could put real spacecraft there, or maybe even switch between multiple variantions.

But I looked through all the installation folders and it doesn´t seem to be there...

It's in the pipe for the next version of orbiter : https://github.com/orbitersim/orbiter/pull/496

Phew that looks complicated, I hoped it could be a simple texture change

Adding one "SplashScreen color Images/myawesomelogo.jpg" line in a scenario is not that complicated.
The default image is stored as a resource inside the binary so you cannot override it that easily.
With the move to linux it's possible that it will change to be an image file, in that case you will be able to replace it.

Sorry, I didn´t mean to criticize your implementation of this very cool feature. I just wanted to change it in Orbiter 2016 and it seems like that won´t be possible unfortunately

If you really want it you may be able to use a resource editor to patch the D3D9Client DLL.
