I'm having a similar issue, and disconnecting my controllers does not appear to help. Could another thing be causing this problem?

Looks like great work. Are there any plans down the road to incorporate some kind of reentry autopilot?

I always thought it would be great if there were a space simulator which melded the realism of Orbiter, with the expansiveness of Space Engine, and perhaps even the creativity of KSP. It's rather astonishing that the last and only realistic space simulator to attempt a similar feat was...

It's been a few years, but I'm finally trying to get back into Orbiter. I downloaded the 2016 version, but was disappointed to see Shuttle Fleet+AutoFCS is not compatible at all. Those were some of my favorite add-ons. It almost makes me tempted to just revert to the 2010 version, which...

I just had a few questions about Apollo 13. First, could their lunar module still have theoretically landed on the Moon? I'm guessing no, because they'd have to use the command module engine to brake into Lunar orbit. However, what if the command module engine worked? I assume they still would...

1) Docked 2 DGIV's together about a 2500 feet above Earth. 2) Replaced Venus with Jupiter (you could actually make out the planet pretty well from Earth) 3) Attempted a DGIV Earth reentry without a cockpit canopy. The ship actually started burning up for a good few minutes before exploding...

This is an awesome addon. Thanks!

I would guess the Windows Surface tablet could be a contender? It has an attachable keyboard. Forget how much it costs though.

I've been having this same exact issue, except with the Total Immersion version of the Shuttle PB. Basically, it works just fine in the normal Orbiter client, but with D3D9, it crashes and reports an error message similar to the one posted by the OP.

Thanks! That just made Orbiter look a whole lot better. However, this actually seems to be an unrelated issue. For me, the HUD only appears "double" when seen "mid-deck." From either the Commander or Pilot's seat it looks fine. I tried on a clean install, and it did the same thing. So maybe...

I actually seem to have this problem too. But for some reason, my launchpad doesn't show the advanced button. :shrug:

That would definitely be cool. I guess I wouldn't even mind moving over to SSU fully. But it's my understanding that certain things, like a full reentry, can't really be done realistically?

Oh well, it was worth a shot. Thank you all though, for answering the question!

Hmm... I'm guessing the SSU cockpit is smaller than the default cockpit? Is there no way around this, even if it means replacing the entire Shuttle Fleet mesh with that of the SSU one? Or would that just create additional problems?

I see this question was raised by Yoda in 2009, but seeing as how that was quite a while ago, I decided to make a new one. While Space Shuttle Ultra looks very cool, I'm sitting it out for the time being until things become more developed. With that said, I currently use Shuttle Fleet, but I've...

So, when told "go at throttle up," the throttle could in theory be advanced? But it was usually done automatically, requiring no input from the pilots? I'm with you on this. When it comes to Orbiter, I only care about getting most of the general concepts realistic, not the intricate little...

So the "throttle" looking thing seen at both the Commander and Pilot positions... what was that exactly? Thanks for the recommendation on SSU. I did try it out a bit, but will probably use it more when it's complete. I currently use Shuttle Fleet in conjunction with AutoFCS which does retro...

I ask this in a general sense. Of course the one in Orbiter does not model the full suite of switches, and does not model the flight dynamics, damage characteristics, etc perfectly. But in real life, was it possible to sort of hand fly the shuttle freely, while throttling the OMS at will? I...

Is that really the cockpit? Looks more like a Dreamliner than a Dream Chaser (sans yoke). Would a spacecraft really need an airline style autopilot panel? By the way, I'm really looking forward to this addon.

Okay, I actually found a thread that offered some insights http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=22994&highlight=dragonfly+ctd It looks like running Orbiter in XP compatibility mode allows me to use the Dragonfly just fine (I have Windows 8). So unless anyone knows of any disadvantages to...
