    General Question XR ships error message "zip files invalid"

    Hello all; I've been a user and fan of orbiter since .... sometime in the 90s and love it. Was going to install the XR ships from http://www.alteaaerospace.com/index.html I downloaded zip files for three ships - Ravenstar, Vanguard, and Delta Glider. When I tried to unzip them, I got error...

    2 problems: ships disapear and sound.dll crashes orbiter

    Sound problem SOLVED! Ah! I do have older zipped versions of orbiter. I will get the cape21 out of one of those. Thank you! I solved the sound problem today. I think it was just raw determination that did it. I mean I don't really know why it works now and wouldn't before. I had tried 6 or 8...

    Thank you very much Captain! I hope you can help me interpret the results! I did a search and cannot find a "msvcrtd.dll" anywhere on my computer. I ran the diagnostic you gave the URL for. Here is what it says: ----- Scenarios directory found: OK. Meshes directory found: OK. Config...

    2 problems: ships disapear and sound.dll crashes orbiter

    Some progress - but what is with Vinka scenarios? I have discovered a few things. In another thread someone had a problem with ships disappearing and they were told to put copies of three "dll" files into the root orbiter directory. "MSVCR71.DLL" and "MSVCP71.DLL" - I don't recall the third...

    Shenzou VII just passed overhead

    ISS and ATV viewing That 12 degree altitude should vary from week to week and even from day to day to some extent. There are times of the year when the orbit of the ISS favors the Northern Hemisphere and times when it cannot be viewed easily or high up in the sky at all for a few weeks. Do...

    Shenzou VII just passed overhead

    Yes it was fun to see. I noticed a thread about the Shenzou - after posting my siting - and read through some of it. The ISSS is so very much brighter since the additional solar panels were added. It is especially pretty to watch as it goes into the earths shadow and all that copper gets...

    Shenzou VII just passed overhead

    I just went outside to watch the ISS pass over and much to my surprise there was another quite bright "satellite" passing overhead at the same time. There are not many that are bright to begin with, and not many seem to travel (EDIT: WEST to EAST as this one did. So many go North to South or...

    2 problems: ships disapear and sound.dll crashes orbiter

    Thank you for checking that for me! Not blue screens. Mostly XP would not re-boot normally. Usually but not always I could get into safe mode, but sometimes it would just cycle on and on turning itself off and then restarting again. A few different boot menus would come up and almost none of...

    2 problems: ships disapear and sound.dll crashes orbiter

    Ah! I am sure that nothing I have installed since re-formatting and installing XP has included direct X. I will go on the web and see if I can find it. THANK YOU!

    2 problems: ships disapear and sound.dll crashes orbiter

    I recently did a fresh install of windows XP on a newly formatted drive. I put a new fresh orbiter (version 092906) on a 2nd hard drive ("D:\"). I put it there because if XP has to be installed all over again then at least orbiter will still be there on the D drive ready to go. 1. SOUND...

    installed Vinka and orbiter fails to run

    Okay I will try that. First though - a question: I am still fussing (and worse) about these three different spaceship1,2,3 and multi-stage downloads from Vinka. I understand that the earlier versions were compatible with earlier versions of orbiter and some add-ons ONLY run on the older...

    installed Vinka and orbiter fails to run

    orbiter log Thank you for the idea. I missed seeing your post. Most of the log looks good, but at the end I see this: Module Spacecraft3.dll [API v.050206] **** WARNING: Mesh not found: .\Meshes\atlantis.msh Finished initialising status Finished initialising camera Finished initialising...

    installed Vinka and orbiter fails to run

    Still doesn't run Okay, since before, I have installed spaceship 2 and the multistage - that was all one package. I tried to use the MOD installer to add the patch for spaceship 3 but it wouldn't let me do it. Orbiter failed to run again. There was sound and for about 3 seconds I could see...

    installed Vinka and orbiter fails to run

    spaceship 2? Do you mean I should also install SPACESHIP2? I just realized I had not installed the PATCH and the scenario I tried to run involved the Vinka payload.

    installed Vinka and orbiter fails to run

    I don't know whether to post this here or in the ADD-ONs area. I have a new "old" computer - my old old computer died. Installing Orbiter adding one thing at a time. So far added some Hi-Res textures and sound 3.5 I have been using the MOD installer and just installed VINKAs SPACESHIP3 using...

    Will installing shuttle fleet overwrite ULTRA?

    I thank you both. Been away all day so had not seen your replies until now. I'll revert back to a pre-shuttle ULTRA orbiter installation and install the fleet there.

    orbiter crashes in "newer" (but OLD) XP computer

    Good Idea! I am definitely going to do that and am looking forward to it. Thank you for that link. I will keep track of it. Just this afternoon, I got the XP 1.5GHz PIV that is going to gradually or quicker, replace for this old Pentium III 450. Right now the XP only has 383Mb DDR RAM So I...

    orbiter crashes in "newer" (but OLD) XP computer

    OH! I am glad you told me that. That was not clear to me from the way the download things are written up. Good. Then I can move ahead to start testing with sound and then DGIV.
