Hello,

Can someone tell me what these sidebars are that pop out of the sides of the screen? What are they used for? I can't seem to find any information on them.

Thank you.

It's an experimental feature and is called "gcGUI"; it can be disabled in the D3D9Client Advanced Video setup:

Thanks! What is it used for/can it be used now for anything? Or is it just an experimental feature set as a placeholder for now?

If you like to know more bout that, you'll take a look at the D3D9Client Development thread (I am currently not yet good at searching the new forum, so no direct link here, sorry)

Edit: Ah! Found it:
Little more detailed answer: gcGUI is (currently experimental) announced here https://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?p=600950&postcount=5062

Here is one application that is actually using it: Terrain ToolKit

Would it be possible to pin the D3D9 Debug window to it? Also, will it ever be usable on sub-4k resolutions? It seems that it'd be a useful tool, but I don't have a 4k display.

You realise this is orbiter, not KSP, right?

Oh man! That looks so awesome with the new backdrop! What a blast to the past.

Yes, it would be possible to pin the debug window but it would need to be converted to use gcGUI at first. There are plans to do that but at-fist the gcGUI would need to be get to a stable and reliable state.
The gcGUI has been developed and tested at FullHD resolution (i.e. 2k) I have never tested it at 4k nor received any feedback about how it works. So, yes, it's usable on sub-4k resolutions at-least.
