Problem Orbiter crashes after startup

[Plutonium239]

Strange, I can't see LuaMFD.dll present in your orbiter.log, though it's included to be loaded in orbiter.cfg.

LuaMFD is included in the log, but I didn't post that part because I mistakenly thought it was the same as the one in the OP.

And Loru, I copied Orbiter2010 to C: but it still wouldn't run properly.

I added:

; === Visual parameters ===
MaxLights = 8

But it stops working at the same point as before. Is this the correct format?

Sometimes, to make this workaround for local light sources work correctly, you also need to change EchoAllParams to enabled, too:

EchoAllParams = [color=#c00][s]FALSE[/s][/color][color=#0a0]TRUE[/color]

This will store all configuration parameters in the configuration file, also those using their default value.

But since it's still crashing without local light sources enabled, the problem might be somewhere else.

This case is complicated.
I try to download and install MSI and recreate your problem.

Problems on Windows? Not possible...

Must be, as it is still not working. What would cause the program to fail even after reinstallation? Unless there are other configuration files not removed during the uninstall process, I can't think of anything that would lead to this.

At this point I'd recomend downloading ZIP package instead of MSI installer and simply unpacking it to c:\Orbiter or other folder outside Windows folder.

Unless there are other configuration files not removed during the uninstall process, I can't think of anything that would lead to this.

Files created by Orbiter after installation and any 3rd party files (add-ons) aren't uninstalled (the same as is with deinstallation of many different programs). The MSI installer only tracks files it installed. After you have uninstalled Orbiter, you need to delete all the remaining files from Orbiter folder before installing it again at the same place. Or better, as Loru said, use the zipped (portable) version instead, which will allow you to "install" it in more than one place.

I created C:\Orbiter and extracted it there. Orbiter actually ran with LuaMFD this time.

EDIT: Now I've got more problems. I tried Space Shuttle Atlantis / Launch Into Sunrise. The shuttle and pad disappeared after a second then this is what it left me with:

A similar thing happened with the Delta Glider, but from how the stars moved it looked like it was spinning. Naturally, I pressed "KILL ROT" (I guessed from KSP experience) but this caused the simulator to crash after using about 5 kg of fuel. I also tried loading The Solar System / Iapetus, but this caused it to crash as well.

A question...

I apologize by that I did not write.
I ask again:
Do you have installed all C + + packages and corresponding updates?
Meanwhile I will list everything you need to run Orbiter correctly. And try to reconstruct your problem, in my installation Orbiter :compbash2:.
Greetings and I hope to help.

Do you have installed all C + + packages and corresponding updates?

For the C++ redistributable packages you only need to install the latest security updates (for each major version of C++). Installing the first release and then every update will only clutter unnecessarily the side-by-side configuration folder. The last update has all what is needed.
