I note mention of the micro-textures package(s) Do us who don't build add-ons need those or will it improve 2016 anyway? Will the micro-textures eventually just be part of the D3D9 package - next question is do they only work with the high-res textures?
Sorry for my apparent/obvious ignorance of what they do . . .

Micro textures are optional (not required), they do improve how planetary bodies looks like while landed on them.

It's likely to stay as a separate download because the micro textures are likely not going to change very often like the binary package of the client does.

They work with default textures that comes with the Orbiter base package. But can be used with high-res textures too.

Here's a new build for RC2.

It might be good idea to use different naming scheme for LensFlare builds not to get confused with the "stable" branch.

Windows 7 64 Bit - Clean Orbiter RC2 installs tried D3D9Client R15 and D3D9ClientBeta24_2-forRC2. Orbiter 2016 runs perfectly without the client activated.

The first gives me a crash when I try to enable in modules with the message

Code: 
The procedure entry point 
?oapiGetWindVector@YA?ATVECTOR3@@PAXNNH@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Orbiter.exe.

The second gives me this.

Hi Becker,

You're not running RC2 mate. ie: v.160728
You can get it here...
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=538310&postcount=1

or if you have RC1 already a diff "patch" is available here
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=538384&postcount=19

then re-install D3D9ClientBeta24_2-forRC2
Click to expand...

Thanks for the help but still having these issues. First attempt using 1st link and D3D9ClientBeta24_2-forRC2

Becker, what are the "issues" you have? You don't say what the symptoms are.
Is it still
Code:
The procedure entry point
?oapiGetWindVector@YA?ATVECTOR3@@PAXNNH@Z could not be located in the dynamic link library Orbiter.exe.

To my un-expert eye the logs look fine - no error messages..........

Becker: You aren't trying to use the 2010-P1 version of SSU (SVN-trunk) with Orbiter 2016 are you? This is a NO-GO. You need to switch over to branches/OrbitersimBeta and build those sources. Please do note that those sources do have a few issues that are currently being worked on.

Sim begins to load then just stops I don't get the oapi wind vector error just a dead stop at the same point each time. Dave i'm using the zipped RC2 version I only use SVN for SSU atm.

So you have't copied over the SSU files to the Orbiter 2016 RC2 folder? I'm just to trying to be certain that you're not trying to use SSU with Orbiter 2016.

The procedure entry point error sounds like you're trying to use an incompatible add-on (MFD or vessel). Try deactivating all the plug-ins and if things are running, then enable each plug-in one-by-one until you have established which plug-in that is throwing the error.

Becker,
Just to confirm the original situation remains,
this only happens when you enable D3D9 client in the modules tab with a clean install, right ?
Orbiter RC2 runs ok without D3D9 client ?.....

Exactly JMW 100%. Dave this is a vanilla Orbiter 2016 rc2 with the D3D9 client the only module active. Nothing else at all.

Well Becker,
If you've got Orbiter RC2 with D3D9ClientBeta24_2-forRC2 and it just hangs" - and the logs show nothing crashing - I'll have to leave your diagnosis to those more qualified than me, sorry.

We're presuming you have had Orbiter Beta running successfully up till now with previous versions and matching D3D9 clients.....

Noticed that D3D9Client Beat 24.2 for RC2+ has these strange shadows. Note how the shadows on the ground doesn't agree with the actual vessel that is casting them (the shuttle).
The shuttle is vertical as it should be, but the shadow show that the ET is horizontal between the SRBs. At the very back of the ET shadow is the shadow of the OBSS which should be obscured by the shadow of the orbiter.
This is only present in D3D9Client, not the inline engine.

Not sure if it's related, but since I can remember, the SSU stack shows as being horizontal before T0 (check the ADI, SurfaceMFD...).

I have noticed some random anomalies in shadows especially in Moon. I'll look into that... I guess we would need better shadows.

I've been looking at making a directional shadow buffer, but I haven't been able to figure out how to render a depth pass, and how to do so from a different viewpoint (i.e. orthogonal from the sun to the vessel). I'd have guessed the depth pass from the camera would have been done already as I've been to get hooks to it through ReShade, but haven't been able to get it to pass it to shaders (I've been trying to get a depth based SSAO shader going).
