In D3D7 external client I cant transition through 2d, 3d, and 3d external views it just CTD as soon as I press F8
You mean it doesn't compile from the sources? I can upload a new compiled zip package to Sourceforge if it helps, but the only difference will be the fix of the F8 switching crash.The inline engine seems to be working fine and I haven't got the pre-build D3D7Client to work. It would be important to get a fresh build of the D3D7Client for reference to narrow down the possible source of the problem.
Note that the implementation of cloud shadows isn't complete in the D3D7 client, so if the D3D9 implementation is derived from it, that could be the problem you see. What is missing is the implementation of partial texture overlaps between cloud textures and surface meshes. This isn't going to be trivial, so it might take me a while. If you do find a working solution, I'd be very interested. Apart from that, a temporary fix would be to disable the rotation of the cloud layer, so that partial overlaps don't occur.I have Cloud shadows flickers when orbiting: http://gyazo.com/740d14bcd2c2095eba7f6e656e27b1cd
Is Xyon's server down or something?Can some Mod edit the first post and update Xyon's server address, please?

Do these new textures replace some of the "Optional hires texture packs"?...To get the most of it (and to be able to recreate the screenshots on the Orbiter website), you'll also need to download an updated Earth texture tile...

Downloaded and ran in regular graphics. I opened a delta glider scenario it opened and then ctd. Running Windows 8.1

If I deselect "Surface elevation" under visual effects I can run scenarios but guess what - no mountains.:nono:
Is Xyon's server down or something?
I get a "403 forbidden" here.
Edit - Found:

Note to Mods: link to be updated in the first post.
Also, another question: How can one determine what tile go where on the planet?
I'm secretly continuing my project TileMaker for a compatibility towards Orbiter 2015, but I'm stuck on the logic I should apply there. The first 2 levels contains only one texture of the whole planet, and then it's 2, then 4 textures, and so on.
Trying to, from that, make a suitable algorithm fails miserably.
So, what is the logic behind the implementation of the surface tiles?
